history
_1983,_MiNr_690.jpg)
The area around Chamissoplatz emerged during the rapid urban growth of the Wilhelminian era and was developed as a supplement to the Hobrecht Plan from 1877. The Schmuckplatz was created according to a design by the Berlin gardening director Hermann Mächtig from 1887. It was named after Adelbert von Chamisso on April 24, 1890. At that time, the development on the edge was already completed. A distinction was initially made between Chamissoplatz and Am Chamissoplatz , which denoted the western and eastern borders. The area was initially the residential area of the common people like teachers, civil servants, craftsmen and workers. By means of backyards there was a dense development with little comfort, between 15 and 20 families are given per house. The surrounding streets were paved with cobblestones . The gas lanterns that were first erected are still there, although the Senate decides that they will disappear all over Berlin.
After squatting in the 1980s, the buildings in the entire neighborhood were extensively renovated . The significantly improved living conditions and further privatization of entire buildings have led and still lead to rent explosions and a change of residents towards the well-heeled . For the area around Chamissoplatz, the district office issued a conservation ordinance in 2005, which, among other things , is intended to control the conversion of rental apartments into owner-occupied apartments .
