The Fasanenstraße is a nearly two-kilometer road in the Berlin City-West in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf . Carries its present name Fasanenstrasse since 1901 to commemorate a 1755 by King Frederick II. Scale pheasant at the end of today's traffic route, the 1841 installation of the Zoo soft and had to Potsdam was moved. Earlier names of the street were Ringstraße II , Wolfenbütteler Straße and Gravelotter Straße .
Course and Sections
overview
Fasanenstraße leads in a straight line in a north-south direction from Müller-Breslau-Straße (at the Charlottenburger Tor or on Straße des 17. Juni ) in the district of Charlottenburg via Hardenbergstraße , Kantstraße , Kurfürstendamm , Lietzenburger Straße , Fasanenplatz (with Schaperstraße and Ludwigkirchstraße ) as well as Pariser Straße to Hohenzollerndamm and ends at Hohenzollernplatz in the Wilmersdorf district .
In its course ( one-way street in north-south direction from Hardenbergstraße to Fasanenplatz, continuously chargeable short-term parking zone ) the relatively low-traffic, tree-lined two-lane street changes its character several times.
Müller-Breslau-Straße to Hardenbergstraße
From Müller-Breslau-Strasse, which runs parallel to the Landwehr Canal , to Hardenbergstrasse, Fasanenstrasse borders the southern campus of the Technical University of Berlin (TUB). TUB institutes are located in the northernmost part of this very heterogeneous section, such as the Institute for Power Plant Technology and Apparatus Construction (KWT) in the former power and district heating plant (around 1884, Fasanenstrasse 1) and the boiler and machine house (around 1884, Fasanenstrasse 1a).
As part of the University Campus City West (UCCW) master plan adopted in 2009, this area of Fasanenstrasse is to be activated as an additional focus in the eastern university campus and developed into a promenade of the arts and sciences through appropriate public use .
In front of the junction with Hertzallee , which is to be expanded as a pedestrian street across the campus to Ernst-Reuter-Platz, and opposite the university campus is the joint library of the TUB and UdK, the Volkswagen library , which was inaugurated in 2005 (architects: Lothar Jeromin, Walter A. Noebel ).
In this section Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff created a pheasantry for Friedrich II in 1742, which was crossed with paths in a star shape. Today's Hertzallee and its extension to the TU campus formed the main route of the Fasanerie. In the years 1846/1847, Peter Joseph Lenné built a hippodrome instead of the pheasantry , which took up the area between Fasanenstraße, Hertzallee and Müller-Breslau-Straße. In the east, the riding arena extended into today's zoo grounds. Lenné's design was adversely affected in 1875 by the construction of the Berlin Stadtbahn , which separated the eastern third. However, it remained in parts until 1945, with the larger, western part serving as a sports field.
The specially founded company World Wheel Berlin wanted to build a 175-meter-high Ferris wheel by 2012 on the 14,000 m² site of the old farm yard of the Zoological Garden on Hertzallee . The urban development of the area should be brought into line with the Ferris wheel. The zoo received half of the proceeds from the property that the State of Berlin had achieved and was thus able to build a new building on the northern surface of the old site. A bus parking lot was to be created at the foot of the Ferris wheel, whereby the Berlin Senate's transport concept was based on the assumption that the vast majority of the expected two million visitors a year arrive by public transport . The project has been discontinued.
South of Hertzallee on the western side of the street is the old building of the former University of Music, completed in 1902 (today part of the Berlin University of the Arts , UdK); Architects: Heinrich Kayser and Karl von Großheim .
The UdK concert hall, built between 1952 and 1954 (architect: Paul Gotthilf Reinhold Baumgarten ), is located on the site of the front part of the former music college on the corner of Hardenbergstrasse . The listed hall with its 1,360 seats and remarkable acoustics was one of the first larger post-war buildings in West Berlin . In terms of style, Baumgarten paid little attention to the neighboring old buildings and primarily focused on lightness and transparency. In front of the concert hall on Hardenbergstrasse is a two-storey, glazed, low-rise building as a foyer , through whose windows the staircases are visible. The facade, which is rather inconspicuous during the day, unfolds its effect in the dark when the light from the foyer penetrates outside. The facade on Fasanenstrasse is simple and bright with simple windows. From this side the curved hall roof can also be seen. In front of the building on the edge of the forecourt a black sculpture of Hans Nagel from PVC .

On the opposite side of the street between Hertzallee and Hardenbergstrasse, the post-war building of the Berlin service building of the Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning (BBR) and the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks is at best characterized by its inconspicuousness. In front of it and in the inner courtyard is the sculpture ensemble Stadtzeichen (Raumzeichen) by Otto Herbert Hajek . The surrounding area repeatedly comes into the focus of urban planners who want to use the good inner-city location for future-oriented building solutions. On the site should z. B. According to plans by Florian Mausbach , President of the BBR, and the architect Josef Paul Kleihues from 1999, a site called Europolis will be built. It should consist of about a dozen new building blocks, which frame a kind of Central Park in miniature, crowned by a 300 meter high residential tower. This project was also not pursued any further.
Between the end of 2011 and the middle of 2013, the Efficiency House Plus with electric mobility, which was inhabited by a family for 15 months, could be viewed from the outside. The large glazed building generated more energy than it consumed and thus offered a glimpse into the future of living. The excess energy was stored in high-performance batteries and used, among other things, to charge electric vehicles .
Hardenbergstrasse to Kantstrasse
On the corner of Hardenbergstrasse is the former building of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (1954/1955; architects: Franz Heinrich Sobotka and Gustav Müller ), which is followed by a new building on Fasanenstrasse: the architecturally extraordinary Ludwig-Erhard-Haus (1994-1998 ; Architect: Nicholas Grimshaw ) - popularly known as the "armadillo". The club house of the Berlin merchants and industrialists , a monument from the 1950s , previously stood on part of what is now the Ludwig-Erhard-Haus .
Opposite the Ludwig-Erhard-Haus, in the former building of the Deutsche Ueberseeische Bank , is the Library of Conservatism , a specialist academic library that opens up the entire spectrum of conservatism in the history of ideas.
Fasanenstrasse next door is connected to Uhlandstrasse , which runs parallel, via a green inner courtyard with a restaurant, under which there is an underground car park .
Opened in 1930 and popular with business people and celebrities who value luxury combined with discretion, the Savoy Hotel just before the corner of Kantstrasse was a popular quarter for employees of Western secret services during the Cold War . Thomas Mann , among others, already frequented the hotel's former Havana Bar , which was named Times Bar in 1984 because of a central column on which the times of the world's metropolises are displayed . Diagonally opposite is slightly elevated the traditional, to the Theater of the West adjoining Delphi Filmpalast (1927/1928; Architect: Bernhard Sehring). The Delphi-Palais , as it was called at the time, was built as a dance hall and, after being severely damaged by aerial bombs in 1943, was used again for dance events shortly after the end of the war, which initially took place on the ground floor. Jazz jam sessions also attracted interested Berliners and occupation soldiers. Artists who made music here were Helmut Zacharias and Fritz Schulz-Reichel at the piano. In the years 1948/1949 all war damage had been removed and the facility became the Kino Delphi - Filmpalast am Zoo with around 1200 seats (reduced to 725 in 1981). During the repair and renovation work, the building received its main entrance, which was originally on Kantstrasse, and now on Fasanenstrasse. At that time it had the largest screen and the most modern technical cinema equipment in Berlin. Ava Gardner , Gary Cooper and James Stewart celebrated premieres here and brought some Hollywood glamor to Fasanenstrasse. In the 2010s, the Delphi-Filmpalast was an institution in Berlin as a film art cinema with an upscale selection of films and one of the few Berlin cinemas with projection technology for classic 70 mm films . The original operator Walter Jonigkeit (1907–2009) still resided in the office of his cinema at the age of 102 until shortly before his death.
From the theater garden and today's beer garden on the corner of Kantstrasse you can see the magnificent original main entrance of the Theater des Westens (1895/1896; architect: Bernhard Sehring ), which was reached via the Kaisertreppe . The Great People's Opera was housed in the building in the early 1920s . The gardens, the imperial staircase and the historic façades of Delphi were reconstructed in 1997/1998 .
Below the Delphi is the Quasimodo jazz cellar , one of the oldest Berlin jazz clubs , which has been playing live music ( jazz , funk , soul , Latin , blues , rock ) since 1969 . On the ground floor facing Kantstrasse there is a café of the same name that is connected to the cinema .
The Berlin Secession artists' movement around Max Liebermann , Max Slevogt , Lesser Ury and Lovis Corinth was founded in 1899 in a first exhibition house built by the architect Hans Grisebach from March to April 1899 on what would later be the Delphi site at Kantstrasse 12. From the opening on May 20, 1899 until the move to Kurfürstendamm 208/209 in 1905, works by controversial artists were on display there.
The office and commercial building (Volkswohlbund-Haus; architect: Curt Hans Fritzsche) built between 1954 and 1956 at Kantstrasse 13 forms the north-western corner of Kantstrasse. As a typical example of the architecture of the 1950s, it is now a listed building . The horizontal structure with ribbon windows, a balcony on the first floor and the overhanging eaves are characteristic . The corner is emphasized by the rounding and a vertical window arrangement with pilaster strips and crowned by a rotunda on the roof as the dominant and highest element. The building was restored in 2006 and expanded with a stylistically adapted roof structure.
Kantstrasse to Kurfürstendamm
There are a number of interesting buildings between Kantstrasse and Kurfürstendamm :
Kant triangle
.jpg)
The triangular area between Kantstrasse, Fasanenstrasse and Stadtbahn , which was built on only with the remains of a single-storey building after the war had been destroyed, was developed in the early 1990s, taking into account the results of an urban planning ideas competition. The aim of the new development of the so-called "Kant triangle" was to create a clear demarcation from the Wilhelminian style block development to the west of Fasanenstrasse.
Directly opposite the Theater des Westens now rises an eleven-storey high - rise , which is crowned at a height of 36 meters by a movable sail made of riveted sheet metal (1992–1995; architect: Josef Paul Kleihues ).
At the time of construction, the development concept had been reduced to the eleven storeys implemented with reference to the building heights in the area. The original design provides for a twelve-storey tower structure doubled in height - instead of the six-storey cube placed on the five-storey building base.
Due to the 16-storey development in the second half of the 1990s on the south of the Kant triangle (former Victoria area) and other building permits issued in the wider area, the builder intends to increase the tower construction of the Kant triangle 17 floors are now permitted according to a current development plan.
In December 2006, after a year and a half of construction, the Nobel Club Cascade was opened in the basement of the house . A Russian investor has invested 1.8 million euros here. In the former rooms of the Raab Galerie , changing DJs play mainly house music . From the bar you can see the water cascade , after which the club was named, through the glazed front . The Pearl Club has been located in these premises since September 2013 .
Artist's house St. Lukas
The building at Fasanenstrasse 13 is built in an interesting eclectic style (1889/1890; architect: Bernhard Sehring ). The naming of the house honors the patron saint of painters and doctors, Saint Luke . Only part of the mighty complex can be seen through the large wrought-iron gate, which was built around an ivy-covered fountain courtyard . The castle-like building made of Rathenow bricks with partly two-storey apartments is characterized by bay windows , battlements , turrets, balconies, and sometimes bizarre details (horse heads, laurel wreaths, Berlin bears, Egyptian lions in the courtyard, a stork made of lead plates and painted in color on the Top, roof). The coat of arms held by the bears bears the initials of the architect: S . At the highest point of the roof there is a weather vane , on the St. Florian , the patron saint against fire, is shown with a model of the house and a watering can. A pheasant stands on the tip of the weather vane, referring to the history of the street. The builder was also the owner of this house.
In addition to the owner's living area, the house housed 20 studios for sculptors and painters , including Ernst Barlach , Karl Ludwig Manzel , Rudolf Marcuse and Max Kruse (who lived and worked here with his wife Käthe Kruse ). Max Kruse designed in his studio a. a. the figure of the messenger of victory from Marathon , for which the art academy awarded him the gold medal in 1881. Other well-known residents of the Künstlerhaus were Alexander Zschokke , Heiny von Widmer and Nikolaus Friedrich at the end of the 1920s . Sehring himself ensured that well-funded guests were regularly invited, because only if the artists generated good income could he collect the rent. The Friday evenings developed , when the visitors were welcomed with a glass of champagne, then taken to the artist's cave in the courtyard to eat and then encouraged to visit the studios. Several works of art changed hands there.
Gustav Wannche acted as the manager of the house from 1902, who later bought it. After him, his son-in-law W. Jaenisch became the owner and passed it into the hands of his daughter Anni Jänisch in 1956. On the occasion of the centenary of its existence, the company had the building renovated in accordance with its heritage and received the Ferdinand von Quast Medal for exemplary restoration in accordance with its heritage .
Some of the studios and apartments are still used by artists today. The famous Springer & Winckler Gallery is located in the house .
Viaducts
The viaducts of the Berlin Stadtbahn and the Fernbahn line cross Fasanenstrasse on this section and delimit the Kant triangle. In the “Pheasant Arches” under the viaducts, which are connected to the “Lotte-Lenya-Arch”, which is within walking distance, there are shops and restaurants that are accessible from both sides. A passage along the arches is possible from Fasanenstraße to the newly built district Neues Kranzler Eck (architect: Helmut Jahn ) and to Kantstraße. The plan is to set up a continuous footpath along the tram viaducts between the Savignyplatz and Zoologischer Garten stations . A flea market that was located on the necessary route towards Savignyplatz directly on Fasanenstrasse was removed in 2008. A passage in the direction of Savignyplatz is still prevented by a former gas station on the parallel Uhlandstrasse.
Former Jewish community center
The former Jewish parish hall (1957–1959; architects: Dieter Knoblauch and Heinz Heise ) is located on the site of the synagogue that was inaugurated in 1912 and burned down during the pogrom night of 1938 . The old portal , the sculpture of a destroyed Torah scroll and a memorial stone for the Jews murdered in the Holocaust were set up in front of the new building of the community center . A memorial plaque on the building, which is now used, among other things, for the Jewish Adult Education Center and a kosher restaurant, commemorates the resistance fighter Recha Freier .
With a good 11,000 members, the Berlin Jewish Community is the largest in Germany. After the fall of the Berlin Wall , Jewish life shifted back to the historical center of Berlin . There - around Oranienburger Straße and the former Scheunenviertel - are the roots of the community and many monuments are reminiscent of the eventful history of Berlin's Jews.
In July 2006 the Jewish community moved its headquarters from Fasanenstrasse to the Centrum Judaicum (New Synagogue) on Oranienburger Strasse. The Berlin Senate Administration had also urged the move, which is also necessary for reasons of space and which affects the board, the departments and the management as well as the Jewish cultural association . A service point has been set up in the previous parish hall where the members u. a. can also get synagogue and concert tickets.
On November 9, 1969, the left-wing extremist terrorist group Tupamaros West Berlin wanted to carry out a bomb attack on the commemorative event for the November pogroms of 1938. The bomb, which, according to the Berlin police, would have caused many victims among the 250 participants, did not detonate. She was by Peter Urbach been delivered, an undercover agent of the West Berlin intelligence service in the left scene .
After the October Revolution in 1917, numerous Jewish intellectuals from Russia lived in Charlottenburg, especially in the area around Kantstrasse and Kurfürstendamm , which is why it was also called "Charlottengrad" by Berliners. At the beginning of the 1920s, nowhere else did so many Russian books appear as in Berlin, and there was a brief boom in West Berlin as the spiritual substitute capital of the Russian-speaking world. Today Berlin (outside of Israel) has the fastest growing Jewish community in the world, because many new Berliners are Jews from the former Soviet Union , so that the district of Charlottenburg is sometimes called "Charlottengrad" again.
Villa Ilse
The Villa Ilse was built by its client Leopold Ilse in the former university district between Hardenbergstraße and Kurfürstendamm in the Italian villa style (1872–1874; architect: H. Sobotta). Stylistically, the building with its observation tower - crowned by a pyramid roof - is influenced by Schinkel . The street facade was greatly changed by a porch from 1922, above which you can still see the typical transverse gable and the upper floor with the central porch.
Until its demolition in 2011, the building was connected to the former Berlin administration buildings (1991–1993; architect: Wolf-Rüdiger Borchardt) of the Löbbecke bank via the extravagant Phoenix bridge (1995; design: Mona Fux) . which moved in November 2006 to the Behren-Palais am Bebelplatz , the new capital office of the Hamburg bank MMWarburg & CO , in the old Berlin banking district in the Mitte district . The Berggruen Holdings have been new users of the house since summer 2012 .
Hotel Bristol (formerly: Kempinski)
The Hotel Bristol Berlin (1951/1952; architect: Paul Schwebes ) on the rounded corner of the Kurfürstendamm is known and legendary as the Hotel Kempinski and was the only luxury hotel in Berlin until the 1970s. In 2017 it was renamed after a management contract ended. In 2006 the building was expanded to include a two-storey café and restaurant with a viewing terrace (as a replacement for the Kempinski corner that was previously located there).
The house with its - listed - sandstone facade was the first hotel to be built in West Berlin after the Second World War and for a long time it was the epitome of first-class Berlin hotel business with illustrious guests such as Sophia Loren , Gregory Peck , Cary Grant , the Dalai Lama and Mikhail Gorbachev , Mick Jagger , Tina Turner and Fidel Castro . After the political turnaround , the hotel lost its importance, demolition plans were announced in 2015, and the hotel returned its Dehoga stars in 2016 . In 2017, however, the owner invested heavily again, for example the lobby lounge and café were renovated.
The original name Kempinski goes back to the later expropriated Jewish owners of the elegant restaurant, which has been located here since 1926 and in which 2000 guests were catered daily. According to the philosophy and marketing strategy of the owners, half servings were also offered there at half prices for the less well-off. In the new building, the rounded corner corresponding to the historical development was retained. The elegant Bristol Bar , the restaurant Bristol Grill (formerly: Kempinski Grill ), the Reinhards on Kurfürstendamm , the Bristol Café and a few fashion shops are located on the ground floor of the current building .
The Kempinski family had to flee to the USA from the National Socialists . The grandson of the company founder Berthold Kempinski , Friedrich Unger, returned to Germany after the war and opened what was then Kempinski on Kurfürstendamm in 1952. Next to the hotel entrance, a brass memorial plaque for the founding family was placed at a height of 3.5 meters with the following inscription in 1994 on the initiative of family member Fritz Carpet after years of dispute with the hotel owners :
“A Kempinski restaurant has stood here since 1928. It was a world-famous symbol of Berlin hospitality. Because the owners were Jews, this famous restaurant was " Aryanized " in 1937 and sold under duress. Members of the Kempinski family were killed and others were able to flee. The Bristol Hotel Kempinski, which opened in 1952, wants the fate of the founding family not to be forgotten. "
The demand of the Jewish survivors of the Kempinski family to name Paul Spethmann as one of the "Aryan" s, who was chairman of the Hotelbetriebs-AG in the 1950s, had been rejected by the hotel owners. The deportation and gassing of Jewish forced laborers was also not mentioned on the board. The survivors were not invited to the unveiling. Only a little later was another old requirement fulfilled: the so-called “Hitler grape” , which was introduced at the time of National Socialism , was removed from the facade of the hotel .
The Hotel Bristol is connected to the commercial building Kempinski Plaza via a passage connecting Fasanenstrasse and Uhlandstrasse , an example of the opening of the courtyard areas of commercial buildings to the public in Berlin's City West .
Kurfürstendamm to Lietzenburger Straße
Fasanenstrasse and Kurfürstendamm
Due to the sloping corners of the flanking buildings, at the intersection with the lively Kurfürstendamm (exit of the Uhlandstrasse underground station ), a typical square is created for this boulevard .
The Berlin Water Company have recorded an old tradition and presented at the northeast corner of the intersection in 1985 their first drinking fountain from cast iron on. The blue water dispensers, which are constantly bubbling in the summer months, are now distributed all over the city and can also be found in German and foreign cities such as Munich , Zurich , Linz , Vienna and Luxembourg . The Starbucks coffee shop chain has also been using the attractive location since Easter 2007 .
South of Kurfürstendamm to Lietzenburger Strasse, Fasanenstrasse then shows its most attractive side with stately houses from the Wilhelminian era , whose special character is also emphasized by night-time facade lighting.

_Erstes_Wohnhaus_in_der_Fasanenstra%C3%9Fe.JPG)
Characteristic for this section is the listed, picturesque winter garden ensemble with the Literaturhaus Berlin at Fasanenstraße 23, the Käthe-Kollwitz-Museum at Fasanenstraße 24 and the Villa Grisebach at Fasanenstraße 25, which is located in the midst of well-tended, interconnected city gardens with old trees . In the representative environment of these buildings, which still bear witness to the original villa development, galleries, shops, law firms, medical practices, publishing branches, catering facilities, a hotel and two guest houses have also settled.
Shopping
In the 1980s and 1990s, branches of international top brands such as Chanel , Cartier , Bulgari and Louis Vuitton crowded this section , making Fasanenstrasse a “ luxury mile ”. After these shops continued to move to Kurfürstendamm until around 2005 and a phase of high vacancy, this area of the street was repositioned through location marketing in cooperation between the landlord and a brokerage agency : as a “street for something special” with mostly owner-managed shops. There were 15 new openings on this section in 2006, according to an article in the Berliner Zeitung . With the settlement of several galleries, the tradition of Fasanenstrasse as a noble art and gallery mile, impaired by the past “luxury phase”, is being tied into.
Via the Uhland-Fasanen-Passage and an inner courtyard with a restaurant and shops, Fasanenstrasse is connected in this section to the parallel Uhlandstrasse.
Fasanenstrasse 71 is opposite the Villa Grisebach.
Former Nelson Theater
The imposing corner building at Kurfürstendamm 217 / Fasanenstrasse 74 was built in 1895/1896 by the architects Heinrich Mittag and Heinrich Seeling . It became the residence of the then famous violin virtuoso and composer and founder of the Berlin University of Music , Joseph Joachim . The Sanssouci restaurant with an attached cabaret was originally located on the ground floor of the building . From 1921 to 1928 the composer and pianist Rudolf Nelson ran the famous Nelson Theater there , where revues were performed. Even Josephine Baker appeared there in 1926 with its famous "banana skirt" on before their sensational success in Paris celebrated. At that time, the surrounding area was the scene of a cosmopolitan nightlife that contributed to the name “ Roaring Twenties ” and which is still reminiscent of a somewhat seedy nightclub in the neighboring building. In 1934 the Nelson Theater was converted by Rudolph Möhring into the Astor cinema , initially with just under 500 seats (further conversions in 1972 and 1993), in which sophisticated entertainment was shown until 2002 and which is also remembered as the venue for the retrospective at the International Film Festival . Game operations at the Astor had been uninterrupted from 1934 to 2002. Since the closure, the representative sales rooms of an American fashion designer have been located there, and parts of the cinema architecture have been incorporated into the interior design. The cinema name Astor was revived in December 2008 with the luxurious Astor Film Lounge on nearby Kurfürstendamm 225.

Lietzenburger Strasse to Fasanenplatz
From 1955 to 2005 the Galerie Bremer, founded by Anja Bremer in 1946 at Fasanenstrasse 37 - from 1985 under the direction of her partner, the gallery owner and bartender Rudolf van der Lak - was a cultural meeting place where West Berlin art history was written for five decades . A special feature was the bar designed by the architect and then city planning director Hans Scharoun in 1955, which is now in storage.
The house at Fasanenstrasse 39 with the gable in the "Bremen style" was built in 1902 by the architect Hans Grisebach according to plans by the client Richard Cleve, who also had components such as reliefs , bay windows and columns built into the facade , preferably in the Netherlands . The young Gerhart Hauptmann used to go in and out through today's main entrance door from the house at Gravelottestraße 9, which was located in the same place before 1900 . As early as 1900, Grisebach had a small castle built for him in what is now the Polish town of Agnetendorf .
Fasanenplatz
Beyond the busy Lietzenburger Straße , around the greened Fasanenplatz (fountain column 1987 by Rolf Lieberknecht , day care center in the former teacher's house of the Joachimsthalschen Gymnasium ), which is also approached by Schaperstraße, Ludwigkirchstraße and Meierottostraße, once again bourgeoisie from its most attractive side with beautiful Facades, greenery, restaurants, galleries and shops. From Fasanenplatz it is only a few steps to the building of the former Freie Volksbühne (today: Haus der Berliner Festspiele, 1962/1963; architect: Fritz Bornemann ) and the mirror tent of the Bar every reason (cabaret and vaudeville) at Schaperstrasse 24.
Fasanenplatz to Pariser Straße
_Bruno_Balz.JPG)
The southernmost part of Fasanenstraße a little below Fasanenplatz to Hohenzollerndamm / Hohenzollernplatz, which is crossed again by Pariser Straße, then takes on the unspectacular character of a normal Wilmersdorfer residential street.
At the most magnificent buildings in the square (Fasanenstraße 61) from the early days reminds a Berlin memorial plaque to Heinrich Mann , who here (in the former Grave Lotter Street ) from 1932 until his emigration lived 1,933th The then President of the Poetry Section of the Prussian Academy of the Arts liked to visit the trendy nightspots in the vicinity, where he also met the barmaid Nelly Kröger , who later followed him into exile and whom he married in Nice in 1939 .
At the neighboring building, Fasanenstrasse 60, there are two more memorial plaques that were unveiled on May 21, 2008. They remember Bruno Balz and Michael Jary . Together, Balz responsible for the text and Jary for the music, created the two artists from numerous popular today hits and evergreens, such as That can not shake a sailor , I know it is gescheh'n once a miracle or of which goes the world not under .
The stumbling stone set in the pavement in front of the entrance reminds of another resident of the house at Fasanenstrasse 60 . A Jewish resident of the house, Helene Konicki, was deported by the National Socialists to the Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1943 and murdered in Auschwitz the following year .
The next Berlin memorial plaque is already on the house at Fasanenstrasse 58. It commemorates Rudolf Breitscheid , who lived here from 1904 to 1932. The SPD politician, member of the Reichstag and Prussian interior minister was extradited to the Gestapo by the French Vichy regime in 1940 and died in an air raid in Buchenwald concentration camp .
The Danish writer Herman Bang lived in the back of the building at Fasanenstrasse 58 from 1907 to 1909 , after he fled Denmark for fear of being involved in a moral scandal in his home country.
The IBA residential development on the other side of the square (Fasanenstrasse 62, 1980–1984; architect: Gottfried Böhm ), a seven-storey building with an emphatically vertical structure with six tower-like, domed bay windows above massive concrete columns, forms an interesting architectural contrast to the old buildings .
Pariser Strasse to Hohenzollerndamm
This section also forms the western boundary of the so-called Carstenn figure , a regular urban structure that was planned by Johann Anton Wilhelm von Carstenn-Lichterfelde in 1870 and named after him and which is repeated in a similar form further south in Friedenau .
Behind the end of Fasanenstrasse , the evangelical church on Hohenzollernplatz (1931/1932, architects: Fritz Höger and Ossip Klarwein ), built of dark red clinker brick , rises up , the mighty and impressive shape of which reflects German Expressionism .
Bicycle traffic
The construction of a protected cycle path on sections of the Fasanenstraße was planned for 2019.
