history

The construction of the road is closely linked to making the Landwehr ditch navigable. In 1840 the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV commissioned his director of the Royal Prussian Gardens, Peter Joseph Lenné, to draw up a corresponding plan. The royal cabinet order of June 12, 1841 confirmed the route proposed by Lenné, which has remained unchanged to this day, and from August 1845 to April 1852 it was expanded into a navigable Landwehr Canal.

Embankment roads were built on both sides of the Landwehr Canal, including that of Hallescher Ufer on the northern side of the canal. The street - named after the Saxony-Anhalt town hall  - named after November 6, 1849. The name comes from the Halle Gate , which was located at the eastern end of the street to 1876, and with reference to the north on the Möckernstraße located Anhalter Bahnhof . The work on the streets, promenades and paths as well as the tree planting dragged on until the 1860s.

Between 1898 and 1902, the elevated railway of today's underground line U1 was built along the bank of the Landwehr Canal . Two elevated stations on this route are located directly on the bank, the Möckernbrücke and Hallesches Tor stations . The newly built Mendelssohn-Bartholdy-Park station on the U2 underground line has been located at the western end of the bank since 1998 . The district administration assigned the last three houses on Königgrätzer Strasse to Hallescher Ufer on December 19, 1936. In 1962 the Berlin Schaubühne was founded in the street , which later moved to Berlin-Wilmersdorf .

Bicycle traffic

Pop-up cycle path on Halleschen Ufer

After three days of planning by the Berlin Senate Administration and the district office of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg , one of the three lanes with yellow markings, construction site beacons and bicycle pictograms was launched as a pilot project on the Halleschen Ufer between Hallescher Tor and Köthener Straße , where there was previously no bike lane rededicated as the first Berlin pop-up cycle path . It was a measure in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Berlin .

particularities

At the height of Hallesches Ufer 26 there is a stumbling block in memory of Marie Auguste Ewert (* 1891), who was murdered as a euthanasia victim on September 23, 1942 in the Obrawalde asylum (see → picture ).
