The Arnimallee is a street in the Berlin district of Dahlem , by the Luise-Straße Queen to Fabeckstraße leads.

From 1908 onwards, a residential area was built here. After the Second World War , almost all the land was taken over by the newly founded Free University , so that the street is now in the university quarter.

Construction and naming

Haus Hecht, Arnimallee 8
Arnimallee 2: v. l. To the right: Hexenhaus , Villa , new building from 1974
Between the mathematics building (left, Arnimallee 2-6) and Haus Hecht (right, Arnimallee 8) there is a passage to the IT building (background, Takustraße 9)

The area of ​​today's Arnimallee used to belong to the Dahlem domain and was used for agriculture. The domain came into state ownership in 1841. The commission for the division of the Dahlem domain , active from 1901, also decided to build this road.

The street laid out in 1908 was initially called Arnimstrasse . Shortly afterwards (before 1911) it was renamed Arnimallee. It was named after Bernd von Arnim -Criewen (1850-1939), chairman of the German Agricultural Society and at the time the street was named, the acting Prussian Minister for Agriculture, Domains and Forests - thus responsible for the division of the Dahlem domain.

Arminallee before 1945

Before the First World War , only the southern side of the street up to Takustraße was built on. Four villas were built around 1910 (No. 2, 8, 12 and 16). The areas in between were used as a garden, the gaps in the numbering were kept free as reserves for later development. This division remained unchanged for a long time, only the garden next to house no.8 was built on in 1938 with house no.10. The bank director Alfred Blinzig lived in number 2, the singer Marcel Wittrisch in numbers 16-18 .

Between the world wars, the northern side of the street up to the Hechtgraben was built with houses number 1–11. The area between Hechtgraben and Takustraße remained free. Behind the Takustraße the large building complex of the Asian Museum was built by 1925 (No. 23).

Arminallee after 1945

After the Second World War, the Free University (FU) was established in Berlin-Dahlem. The FU bought almost all of the adjacent properties. Villas number 2, 9, 10, 11 and 12 were and are still used by the university, number 8 is private. The villas number 1, 3, 5, 7 and 16-18 are no longer there today.

Arnimallee number 2–7: Institute for Mathematics

Today the numbers 2–7 are used by the Institute for Mathematics. The oldest building is the villa , built in 1910 (Arnimallee 2, where the bank director Alfred Blinzig used to live ). The large associated garden was built in 1974 with a new building (Arnimallee 2-6) of the Mathematical Institute. The villa's former servant house , the so-called witch's house , was used by the students of the department in the 1980s, was vacant in the 1990s due to dilapidation and was sold to private individuals as a residential building in 2000 (new number: 2a). The buildings on the other side of the street (No. 3–7) were initially used for other university purposes before they came to the Department of Mathematics. The mathematics and computer science department library, located at Arnimallee 3 since 1982 (at that time only mathematics department library), received a separate entrance via a sidewalk walkway around 2010.

Arnimallee number 8: Haus Hecht

The only villa that remained in private ownership was No. 8, which, as Haus Hecht , still stands today as a single residential building in the middle of the university district. It was named after its builder, the Prussian ministerial official ( public work ) Carl Ernst Hecht (1864–1927), and is a listed building monument . The architect was Paul Mebes .

Arnimallee number 9–12: Villas of the Department of Education

The villas number 9-12 on both sides of the street remained and are used by the Department of Education and Psychology. Haus Auhagen (No. 12, client: Otto Auhagen, diplomat) is a listed building monument. The architect was Heinz Lassen .

Arnimallee 14: Department of Physics

The area between Hechtgraben and Takustraße, consisting of number 14 (former garden of number 12), 16-18 and the open space on the other side, was built on in 1982 with a large building for the physics department. This stands on both sides of the street, in between are two corridors on the upper floor that run across the Arnimallee. Today the address is Arnimallee 14.

Arnimallee 22: Department of Medicine

There is a large car park behind Takustraße, with the Arnimallee 22 building in the background

The Free University erected a building (No. 22) on the open space in the western area of ​​the street, which today houses two institutes of the human medicine department.

Arnimallee 23-27: Museum

The Museum of Ethnology, which was built between 1914 and 1925, is a listed building monument and was used as a museum throughout. Today, the Museum Center Berlin-Dahlem is located here , which houses the Museum of Asian Art , the Ethnological Museum and the Museum of European Cultures . By redesigning the premises, Arnimallee, which was the representative entrance area of ​​the museum until the 1990s, became the rear of the building.

traffic

In the Königin-Luise-Straße there is a bus stop of the BVG called Arnimallee at Jürgen-Fuchs-Platz . From 1905 the tram of the municipality of Steglitz operated here , which has been replaced by omnibuses since 1959. Today the X83 bus runs here .
