The ash pit was a watercourse in the district of Pankow of the same name Berlin Pankow district . It flowed into the Panke , a tributary of the Spree . It got its name from the ash tree .

course

"Eschengraben, emerges from the Panke between the Luisenbade and Schönholz, cuts through the Schönhauser Allee at the Chausseehaus and gets lost on the Chaussee leading to Franz. Buchholz, where the path to Heinersdorf starts."

- from JGA Ludwig Helling (1830)

The course can still be determined on maps from before 1900. The source was located near Thulestrasse, roughly in the area of ​​today's building materials store. After 100 meters northwards, there is a right-angled bend to the west, a little more south than today's Hallandstraße , i.e. not congruent with today's street Am Eschengraben . The Berliner Straße flows through 70 meters south of the esplanade in a south-westerly direction. In the adjoining allotment garden Bornholm II, remains of the ash ditch can still be seen. At a distance of 750 meters from Berliner Straße, the esplanade crosses to the northwest. The Eschengraben then crosses the lines of the Stettiner Bahn and the Berlin Northern Railway in the southern part of the Feuchten Winkel . The burial place of the Sophiengemeinde and the Elisabethgemeinde is bordered to the north by the river. The Eschengraben flowed into the Panke in the course of today's Gottschalkstrasse .

history

Location of the ash ditch south of the esplanade around 1890

Until the end of the 19th century, the Eschengraben still flowed through a natural landscape.

The ash pit formed late 19th century for its part the precincts limit (ie city limits) of Berlin. The area between the rural community of Pankow and Berlin was developed for residential buildings before the beginning of the First World War. The course of the Eschengraben was removed except for a remaining run in what is now the colony south of the esplanade. Part of its course is only marked by the street of the same name. The confluence of the Eschengraben in the Panke was once at the level of today's Pankebeck, further north of Cemetery III of the French community, west of Wollankstrasse and Gottschalkstrasse. The river originally drew water from the area west of the White Lake.

When the site was being developed as a residential area, a street nearby was named after him on November 26, 1925. It runs from Berliner Strasse to Elsa-Brändström-Strasse . The architect Erwin Anton Gutkind built the listed residential complex “Am Eschengraben” here on behalf of the “German Garden City Society” from 1925 to 1927. This ensemble was built according to the principles of New Building and has the character of a monument.

The school buildings of today's 5th and 6th primary school in Pankow and the facilities of the former Willner wheat beer brewery are located on the street , both of which are listed buildings .
