The Bergmannstraße in Berlin district Kreuzberg extends from Mehringdamm to Südstern / Gneisenaustraße in west-east direction. It was named on April 20, 1837 after the large landowner Marie Luise Bergmann (1774-1854, nee Neumann), who owned the lands in this area.

History and naming

Until the renaming of the street, which the Bergmann family had expanded in the 19th century, it was called Weinbergsweg . Since 1809, the entire area south of Bergmannstrasse, for example from Friesenstrasse to the former Bock brewery , had been owned by the Bergmann family. It has been designated as a public road since 1861. At first it was also written Bergemannstrasse .

A side street off Bergmannstrasse, Schenkendorfstrasse , was the place where Peter Lorenz , a top candidate of the Berlin CDU , kidnapped 3 days before the election for the Berlin House of Representatives in 1975 , was trapped in the basement under a second-hand shop in house number 7 for six days was held. This place was only a few meters away from his party's district office.
