Friedrichsvorstadt
The Friedrich suburb is a historic district of Berlin . Their area, located outside the Berlin customs wall in front of Friedrichstadt , was incorporated into Berlin in 1841. The Friedrichsvorstadt was bounded in the north by the Charlottenburger Chaussee , in the east by Friedrichstadt and in the south by the Landwehr Canal . The population in 1910 was 24,717.
From an administrative point of view, a distinction was made between Upper Friedrichsvorstadt ( east of Linkstrasse) and Lower Friedrichsvorstadt (west of Linkstrasse) in Wilhelmine Berlin . When Greater Berlin was formed in 1920, the Upper Friedrichsvorstadt was incorporated into the newly formed Kreuzberg district. The lower Friedrichsvorstadt, which had developed into an upper-class villa area ("privy council quarter"), became part of the Tiergarten district in 1920 .
Friedrichsvorstadt was almost completely destroyed in World War II. Today there is the diplomatic quarter with numerous foreign embassies, the cultural forum and the new urban quarter on Potsdamer Platz that was created after 1990 .
The term "Friedrichsvorstadt" has disappeared from common parlance today; the area of the Lower Friedrichsvorstadt is now called the Tiergarten District.
