The Friesenstraße is a street in the Berlin district of Kreuzberg . The street has been named after Friedrich Friesen (1784–1814), a co-founder of the German gymnastics movement , since 1884 .

location

Friesenstrasse is around 560 meters long and runs parallel to Mehringdamm , starting from Marheinekeplatz in a north-south direction between Bergmannstrasse and Columbiadamm . Swiveled around 15 meters to the west along the Marheineke market hall , it is extended beyond Bergmannstrasse by Zossener Strasse over Gneisenaustrasse .

Between Bergmannstrasse and Jüterboger Strasse, Friesenstrasse is almost exclusively built with four to five-storey tenement houses from the period before the Second World War , many of which were built in the 1880s and belong to the listed Chamissoplatz building complex . In the northern part of the street there was hardly any serious destruction during the Second World War and the partially restored houses still contain the originally laid out, mostly smaller, business premises, including several cafes, two wine bars and three restaurants. There is a “ whitewater ” advice center at Friesenstraße 6 . Since Friesenstrasse has a relatively steep gradient from south to north, some of the houses facing Marheinekeplatz have five to six storeys. Until 2018, Friesenstrasse was cobblestone , which was associated with considerable noise pollution for the residents; The road was therefore paved in several construction phases from mid-May 2018 to the end of July 2019.

There are larger children's playgrounds nearby on Marheineke and Chamissoplatz .
