history

The street was laid out in 1862 under the name of Gürtelstraße, and has had its current name since 1864. Following Hobrecht's development plan, it was to merge in a straight line with Hornstraße as part of the general train . However, due to the construction of the track systems for the Potsdamer and Anhalter Bahn, it had to be swiveled south, so it leads in a bend over Dennewitzplatz to Yorckstrasse.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Bülowstrasse was the focal point of the Berlin lesbian and gay scene , there were numerous bars, pubs, cafes and event locations, such as the Dorian Gray , the Nationalhof , the Hohenzollern-Diele , the O-la-la and many others more.
