The Blum Bergerdamm is a main road in Berlin's Marzahn-Hellersdorf . It runs in a north-south direction through the districts of Marzahn and Biesdorf . The southern part between Cecilienstraße and Alt-Biesdorf was laid out in 1937 and has been renamed twice since then, the northern part was not built until after 1977.

course

The Blumberger Damm begins in the north at the fork of Wuhletalstrasse and Kemberger Strasse in Marzahn. In its almost straight course to the south, it crosses Landsberger Allee after 1.5 kilometers . Shortly before this intersection, the road splits into two lanes, each with two lanes, which are separated by a green strip. The large area of ​​the Gardens of the World is located on the east side between Eisenacher Straße and Alwineweg . From Elisabethstraße the Blumberger Damm leads through Biesdorf-Nord. At the intersection with the Alt-Biesdorf street, the B 1 / B 5 federal highways running on the same route, the Blumberger Damm merges into the Köpenicker Straße leading through Biesdorf-Süd.

history

The connecting road to Alt-Landsberg ran between the villages of Biesdorf, Marzahn and Altlandsberg , at the beginning of the 19th century far beyond the eastern city limits of Berlin . The street layout extended from village green to village green and in Biesdorf today roughly corresponds to the course of Oberfeldstraße. With the expansion of the villages and their incorporation into Berlin in 1920, the roads were also paved and widened. In 1937 a new connecting road was built in the direction of Marzahn along the eastern periphery of Biesdorf-Nord, which stretched from Alt-Biesdorf to Cecilienstraße. It was named Globsower Straße , after the town of Neuglobsow , and later became the southern part of today's Blumberger Damm.

At the start of construction for the new Berlin districts Marzahn II and Marzahn III as well as Marzahn-Nord and Marzahn-Ost , a new street was laid out as an extension of Globsower Strasse, which led through Marzahn to Erich-Glückauf-Strasse (since 1992: Havemannstrasse). When the first residents moved into the prefabricated buildings, it was named after the SED politician Otto Buchwitz . Around 1987 Globsower Strasse was also renamed Otto-Buchwitz-Strasse.

After the political change , a renaming of streets, initiated by the now responsible Senate , began, including the names of socialist or communist personalities. On January 31, 1992, this street was renamed Blumberger Damm to Blumberg , a place in the Barnim district . Three years later, the northern section, where the character of the street is rather rural and the development is less, was named Kemberger Straße . This shortened the original Blumberger Damm by an approximately 680 meter long section.

The middle section of the Blumberger Damm between Landsberger Allee and Cecilienstraße was renewed and widened from 1995 to 1996. At the turn of the 21st century, numerous residential buildings along the street were renovated and modernized. In order to improve the infrastructure of the residential areas, the state of Berlin had new district heating pipes laid parallel to Blumberger Damm in the early 2000s . The Senate Department for Urban Development presented in 2007 for the southern area around the Blum Bergerdamm a zoning plan on which represents an inventory of the state of the environment and measures to maintain / improve. For the area enclosed by Cecilienstraße, Wuhlestraße, Garzauer Straße, Buckower Ring and Blumberger Damm, the construction of new buildings for residential and commercial purposes began in 2008 with the early participation of citizens according to the plans of the Marzahn-Hellersdorf District Council .

Somewhat confusing for visitors to Marzahn, some eastern and western access roads into the residential areas also bear the name Blumberger Damm.

traffic

The express bus X69 runs almost the entire length of Blumberger Damm. Bus route 197 also serves the northern area , individual sections of the central area are served by lines 191 and 195, and the southern area by line 154. The tram route along Landsberger Allee opens up the northern area on both sides of Blumberger Damm.

Bicycle paths run parallel to the entire Blumberger Damm on both sides, which are mostly designed as combined foot / cycle paths.
