history
Originally, Boxhagener Strasse was a country road that led from Chaussee to Frankfurt (today's Karl-Marx-Allee ) via Rummelsburg to Cöpenick . This is the reason for the unusual diagonal course in today's road network. To the south of the path was the Vorwerk Boxhagen (also Bockshagen or Buxhagen ), which is why the name Alter Cöpenicker Weg near Boxhagen is passed down for the path . In the area of the street, the Colonie Boxhagen with a few houses was built around 1800 . The name Boxhagener Straße first appeared in city maps in the early 1870s at the latest. At that time it ran from Frankfurter Allee to today's Niederbarnimstraße. From 1889 to 1912 the border between Berlin in the west and the rural community Boxhagen-Rummelsburg in the east ran at this point .
The further course of the street in Boxhagen-Rummelsburg was called Boxhagener Weg until 1892 , later between Niederbarnimstraße and Wismarplatz Boxhagener Chaussee and then Alt-Boxhagen . Around 1900 a dense residential development emerged in the area. In 1912 Boxhagen-Rummelsburg was incorporated into the city of Lichtenberg , which in 1920 became part of Greater Berlin . After the incorporation, the entire street up to the Berlin Ringbahn was named Boxhagener Strasse in 1921 . Due to the regional reform of 1938 , the street changed to the Friedrichshain district .
In the 1960s, the section west of Warschauer Strasse was abolished, integrated into Hildegard-Jadamowitz-Strasse and partially built over. Since then, Boxhagener Strasse has started on Warschauer Strasse.

The two-storey house with the house number 70 was built in 1888 by the client Hermann Kuchtenbrink, who later also had the houses with the numbers 71 and 72 built. Due to its early rural style, it was long considered the oldest in Friedrichshain. Here was last in the East , the consumer Kornbrand- and liquor factory alarm . The five-story house with the number 71 was built in 1902 and is now a listed building . The design was originally based on neo-baroque and art nouveau .
The Sudicatis screw factory in house number 73 was built around 1895. In the same year the factory for electrical instruments in house 76-78 was built in the Wilhelminian style. Today it serves as a commercial park that has been partially renovated and equipped with offices and includes, among other things, a hostel for backpackers that opened in 2000 initially with 164 beds and without a concession .
At number 80 there was a five-story, listed steel frame building , which was built in 1906/1907 under Karl Bernhard. The building belonged to Deutsche Kabelwerke AG and was initially used by Cyklon Maschinenfabrik GmbH and rented to Deka-Pneumatik GmbH in 1922 . The factory belonged to the days of the GDR for VEB rubber Werke Berlin which later became the Freudenberg Seals and Vibration Control GmbH was.
After the relocation of this company, the Freudenberg area, a residential area with around 650 apartments and a 6000 m³ public park, has been under construction on the corner of Holteistrasse (house numbers 79-82).
In the courtyard of the houses with the numbers 95 to 97 there is a two-storey horse stable that was built in 1893 under Wilhelm Magnus.
The Georgen-Parochial-Friedhof IV with the listed cemetery chapel, which was built in 1879 by Gustav Knoblauch (1833-1916), is located at Boxhagener Straße 99 to 101 . The property was bought by the parish in 1866 and at that time was not yet surrounded by adjacent houses. A year later the cemetery was opened. It covers an area of 25,000 square meters. The yellow, neo-Romanesque chapel shows arched frieze and arched windows under the roof edge. In 1937 the interior was completely redesigned. After the Lichtenberg Redeemer Congregation and the Revelation and Promise Congregation had become independent, the latter celebrated their services in the chapel until 1993.
The chapel has been used by the OstEnd theater group since 2000 . In the bizarre performances in the theater band , acting and puppet shows were combined. After disputes between the OstEnd theater group and the parish , in 2005 the new operator took over the “ theater band ” around director Christina Emig-Könning, the building and the theater. Funerals and funerals continue to take place a few days a month. By using the chapel in the theater, funding for the restoration and reconstruction of the forecourt in 2000 could be obtained, whereby the basement was drained, the facade and entrance area renewed, the roof covered with slate shingles and the interiors optimized for theater operations.
The multi-storey factory built by Arnold Kuthe in 1904 is located on the rear part of the 2919 square meter property at Boxhagener Straße 111. Today it is a listed building and after reconstruction and conversion into 44 apartments or lofts and seven penthouse apartments, it is used both privately and commercially. In Friedrichshain this is considered a showpiece of gentrification .
traffic
Tram line 21 runs along the two-lane Boxhagener Straße with the stations Neue Bahnhofstraße, Boxhagener / Holteistraße, Wismarplatz and Niederbarnimstraße. The Metrotram line M13 crosses the street at the Boxhagener / Holteistraße station.
Former radio station
Since the radio transmitter, which was put into operation at the Berlin radio tower in 1926, could not adequately supply the east of Berlin, a medium wave radio transmitter for the frequency 1060 kHz with a transmission power of 500 watts was put into operation on January 13, 1929 in the Post Office Boxhagener Straße 111 . He used a three-wire T-antenna as the transmitting antenna , which was carried by two 34-meter-high masts on the roof of the building. With the commissioning of the Tegel transmitter in 1934, this system ceased operations.
