Around 1895, during the great industrial migration in Berlin , many companies also settled here. Historically, this block 74 is where Friedrichshain's core settlement , the Boxhagen garden colony, is located . Boxhagener Strasse 70 (built in 1888 by Hermann Kuchtenbrink) is a typical house from the first development in this area. With the industrial migration, this area was completely expanded. In addition to representative tenement houses, multi-storey factory buildings dominated the area. Many entrepreneurs took the ideal connection to the Ringbahn network as an opportunity to set up their businesses here, for example the Sudicatis screw factory in Boxhagener Straße 76, Deutsche Kabelwerke in Boxhagener Straße 76-78 and the Cyklon machine factory in Boxhagener Street 80.
Use of the real estate
In the 21st century there are still many different service and retail businesses on the large area. Before the hotel and hostel chain A&O settled here in Boxhagener Straße 73 in 2000, the building housed a home for asylum seekers and war refugees. Sealing and vibration technology Freudenberg settled on the former property of the rubber works in Boxhagener Strasse 79-82 after the fall of the Wall , but in 2008 it moved to Berlin-Adlershof . From Weserstraße, which runs parallel to Boxhagener Straße, the so-called writing pen passage was made accessible to pedestrians as part of the renovation. In the meantime, many residents and guests of the A&O Hotels and Hostels use this pedestrian connection every day. In addition to the extensive multi-storey factories and apartment buildings, there are now countless new buildings on the site. The north-western territory of this block is currently being redeveloped by an investor and was given the designation Box Seven (as of 2017).
