history
1920-1933
By 1920, the city of Charlottenburg had developed into the twelfth largest city in the German Empire with more than 320,000 inhabitants . By the Greater Berlin Act , Charlottenburg was incorporated into the newly created Greater Berlin on October 1, 1920 . The seventh administrative district of Berlin was formed from the following areas:
- City of Charlottenburg (322,717 inhabitants, 2344 hectares )
- Plötzensee manor district (1601 inhabitants, 52 hectares)
- Heerstraße manor district , southern part (460 inhabitants, 623 hectares)
- Jungfernheide manor district , southern part (206 inhabitants, 227 hectares)
The district was given the name Charlottenburg and was not divided into official districts. In the 1920s the Lietzenseepark and the Volkspark Jungfernheide were created. The extensive facilities of the German Sports Forum were built in the west of the district . In 1927 the Berlin radio tower was completed. The Siemensstadt housing estate was built in the north-west of the district between 1929 and 1931 , and the Broadcasting House was opened on Masurenallee in 1931 . With its universities, theaters and cinemas, the district developed into a cultural center and a metropolitan area for tourism as well as the entertainment and amusement industry in the 1920s.
1933-1945
The Deutschlandhalle was completed in 1935 and in 1936 the Charlottenburg district was the main venue for the Summer Olympics . For this purpose, the Olympic Stadium , the Waldbühne , the bell tower with the Langemarckhalle and the Maifeld were built . The basic framework of today's exhibition center with the distinctive entrance building on Hammarskjöldplatz was completed in 1937. In 1938 there were extensive changes to the district boundaries:
- The Eichkamp settlement came from the Wilmersdorf district to the Charlottenburg district.
- Part of Ruhleben came from the Spandau district to the Charlottenburg district.
- The district between Tauentzienstrasse and Nollendorfplatz with the KaDeWe came from the Charlottenburg district to the Schöneberg district .
- Martinikenfelde came from the Charlottenburg district to the Tiergarten district .
- Parts of the Jungfernheide came from the Charlottenburg district to the Reinickendorf and Wedding districts .
The population of the district fell by 30,769 people as a result of the border changes and the district area decreased by 475 hectares .
During the pogrom night of November 9, 1938 , the Charlottenburg district was the scene of attacks, looting and destruction, especially on Kurfürstendamm . The synagogue on Fasanenstrasse burned down.
The Plötzensee prison in the northeast of the district served the National Socialists as a political prison and as a central execution site, where around 3,000 people were killed. During the Second World War , Charlottenburg was badly hit by air raids , in which 39% of all apartments were destroyed. In the last days of April 1945 the district was taken by Soviet forces .
post war period
From July 1945 the district belonged to the British Sector of Berlin. The area around the Bahnhof Zoo , Breitscheidplatz and Kurfürstendamm developed into City-West , the center of West Berlin .
The Charlottenburg Palace , which was badly destroyed in the war , was rebuilt in the 1950s. The Plötzensee Memorial has been commemorating the victims of National Socialism since 1953 . The ruins of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church were left as ruins and a new building was added in 1961. In 1961 the Deutsche Oper received a new building on Bismarckstrasse and in 1965 the Europa Center was opened on Breitscheidplatz.
Between 1956 and 1961 the large housing estate Charlottenburg-Nord was built in the north of the district . To the east, the Paul-Hertz-Siedlung was built between 1961 and 1965 . Since 1962 the city motorway has crossed the district along the route of the ring railway .
During the demonstration on June 2, 1967 in West Berlin against the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi , the student Benno Ohnesorg was shot dead by the police officer Karl-Heinz Kurras near the Deutsche Oper . On November 4, 1968, there was a spectacular street battle on Tegeler Weg between the Berlin police and demonstrators who were part of the APO .
The former line 5 of the Berlin subway , which shuttled between the Deutscher Oper and Richard-Wagner-Platz on a short branch line , was shut down in 1970 to create space for the construction of the U7 line . The section from Fehrbelliner Platz in Wilmersdorf to Richard-Wagner-Platz in Charlottenburg was opened on April 28, 1978. The extension of this line to Rohrdamm was opened on October 1, 1980. This also connected the northern part of the district to the subway.
The International Congress Center (ICC) was opened in 1979 .
On January 1, 2001, the Charlottenburg district was merged with the Wilmersdorf district to form the new Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district. In the new large district, the area of the old Charlottenburg district was divided into the three districts of Charlottenburg , Charlottenburg-Nord and Westend . In common usage today, “Charlottenburg” is often understood to mean the entire former district.
