The Hansastraße is one of the Indira Gandhi road to the built in the 1980s and new district Hohenschönhausen leading street . It runs in the districts of Alt-Hohenschönhausen and Weißensee . The road was created from several parts laid out or projected at different times. In 1988 the combined traffic train was named after the North German merchants' association .

Origin of name

The German Hanseatic League developed out of the communities of East and North Sea traders in the 12th century. It played an important role in trading on the Baltic Sea. In the GDR period, the Baltic Sea shore was in the Rostock district . In order to fulfill the housing construction program and in particular the “development of the capital of the GDR” derived from it, the Rostock housing combination was committed “from above” for housing construction in the Hohenschönhausen district . Construction workers from the Rostock district posted to Berlin built with their technology in Neu-Hohenschönhausen. The street was named Hansastraße to honor this “mission”.

A rumored explanation for Hansa Strasse refers to the previous Kniprodeallee with the link to its namesake Winrich von Kniprode . In the middle of the 14th century he supported the Hanseatic League against the Danes as Grand Master of the Teutonic Order .

The naming in the east of the divided city led in the united Berlin to the duplication with the Hansastraße in Gesundbrunnen .

Location and description

Hansastraße is located in the east of the Pankow district, Weissensee district , but the beginning and end belong to Alt-Hohenschönhausen in the Lichtenberg district . With the street number 41588 it is recorded in the Berlin street register with a total length of 3150 meters. Of these, the main route between Indira-Gandhi-Strasse (in the southwest) and Darßer Strasse / Malchower Weg (in the northeast) with a length of 2810 meters belongs to the superordinate Berlin street system (category II), and a (dedicated) branch in the residential area south of the Buschallee is not categorized according to the road development plan of the State of Berlin (StEP).

The Kniprodeallee / Falkenberger Straße route has been expanded since 1986 and was renamed Hansastraße in 1988. During these years, the city planners considered a connection from the eastern city ​​center to the large Hohenschönhausen-Nord settlement to be necessary, the quarter in the newly created Hohenschönhausen district for the Hohenschönhausen-Nord prefabricated housing estate that was created as part of the housing construction program ( foundation stone was laid on February 9, 1984) . This was intended to implement the bypassing of the Weißensee center ( Berliner Allee ) , which had been planned since the 1920s , and which corresponded to the Hobrecht plan . This would also have kept the protocol route to Wandlitz out of Weißenseer Klement-Gottwald-Allee (since 1991 again Berliner Allee ).

The planning envisaged that the route of the extended Kniprodestrasse would cut the Jewish cemetery in Berlin-Weißensee into two parts only connected by pedestrian bridges. The East Berlin Jewish Community had given its approval. After the road construction work, primarily at the intersection of Indira-Gandhi-Strasse, had already started, protests from home and abroad over the "lack of instinct and audacity" of the construction project were loud. Thereupon the GDR leader Erich Honecker stopped the construction work. As a result, the traffic route to Hohenschönhausen remained on Berliner Allee. With a continuous Kniprode route , the routing of the F 158 trunk road to Hohenwutzen would have already started at Königstor .

The connection of Kniprodeallee to Falkenberger Straße (from June 1988) as Hansastraße led to the compensation of a height difference of three meters on several sections of the new route. The street width was also standardized during the expansion: the Kniprodeallee, which was laid out around 1930, was 34 meters wide, the Falkenberger Straße had to be widened during the expansion to Liebermannstraße on the undeveloped northern edge (GLB Teich Hansastraße) , the following new street area was already from 1928 (south side (from parcel 72 and north edge between parcel 124 and 130) with a width of 34 meters, the width of the carriageway itself was 16 meters. The development was thus set continuously behind the (new) corridor line.

Residential area Hansastraße 52-66 on the east side

Residential quarter Hansastraße 65–149 on the west side

Hansastraße has two directional lanes , starting at Indira-Gandhi-Straße with a 20 meter wide green median strip that tapers to six meters from Orankeweg. In addition to the primarily two-lane lanes, there are also cycle lanes, parking lanes and sidewalks along the road. There are also turning lanes at the intersections. On Giersstrasse in particular , crossings and turning lanes have already been created for an extension of the latter via Hansastrasse to the site of the disused children's hospital . From Buschallee to Hohenschönhausen, the ten meter wide median is double-tracked by the tram. The tram line went into operation on August 10, 1987, initially for line 28 at the time, which branched off from the already existing line on Buschallee. The line M4 (MetroTram) has been running on this route since 2004, when the line names were changed ( as of 2019).

In the area between Indira-Gandhi-Straße and Buschallee there are prefabricated building quarters, which were given the address Hansastraße, forming inner residential streets to the north and south with the house number ranges 65–149 (odd) and 58–108 (even). Only the route to the southeast in the direction of the Orankeweg is named as Hansastraße up to the residential area.

The parcels or house numbers 6–38, 238–252 (even) and 7–63 and 171 (odd) are not officially included in the numbering. The numbering in Kniprodeallee and Falkenberger Strasse was (independently of each other) in the form of a horseshoe and was changed to reciprocal counting in 1988 with the name change .

At the crossing of Hansastrasse through the Orankeweg, which already existed as a footpath, a crossing was created at the beginning, narrower point 30 meters to the northeast. Pedestrians and cyclists, on the other hand, use the direct connection 60 meters diagonally across the lanes.

history

Hansastraße is located on the historical routes of the local connections from Old Berlin via Weissensee to Falkenberg.

A new route in the Hobrecht plan

The development plan drawn up by James Hobrecht for the area around Berlin included the route Am Friedrichshain - Kniprodestraße - Hansastraße (until 1988: Kniprodeallee ). In a contract dated August 18, 1915, the Jewish community in Berlin had to hand over land to the Weissensee community and undertake to keep this area free from corpses . For this, the city took over the expansion of the Lothringenstrasse as access to the cemetery from the north. In return, on September 26, 1921, the Magistrate of Greater Berlin was entered in the land register for the strip reserved for road use. In the south-eastern part of the two-part cemetery, a second mourning hall was built in 1911 and a waiting hall and a flower hall in 1912. Both burned out in an Allied air raid in 1944 . The ruins were then used as a children's adventure playground, but were demolished in 1975.

In 1924, the cemetery had a second entrance with a gatehouse and visitor toilets on Lichtenberger Straße . The road through the cemetery was never built. It was not until 1988 that the area of ​​the planned road 90 was returned by the cemetery to the community for “permanent use for cemetery purposes”. The return was made because the German-language Jewish newspaper Aufbau , which appears in the USA, had published a notice with the tenor "The communists in East Berlin want to build a road across the Jewish cemetery". After the return, new burial fields could be created. Due to the changed procedures (on October 3, 1990 ) at the end of the divided Berlin, the first burial took place on October 25, 1990 in the previously reserved part of the cemetery. As a result, any attempt to resume road planning on the area that has been burdened by piety since 1990 is thwarted.

Section Falkenberger Strasse

The Falkenberger Straße as a local connection from Weißensee northeast to Falkenberg (actually the road to Werneuchen ) forms the original route of the Hansastraße in the northeast. On the other hand, according to the plan from 1862, the lost path leads to Hobrecht in the development plan XIII / 1 as street 25 , as a connection (from old Berlin) from Friedrichshain to the street between Lichtenberg and Weißensee with a connection to the Colonie Hohenschönhausen (Wilhelmsberg). When the Jewish cemetery was laid out in 1880, this historical route was interrupted, but the corridor through the cemetery was not buried. In Prenzlauer Berg , Kniprodestrasse was expanded to the border of the cemetery. Ultimately, this is the origin of the southwestern Hansastraße (Straße 90, Extended Kniprodestraße, Kniprodeallee) .

Falkenberger Straße is listed in the 1894 address book from Weißensee to the east in the built-up area (close to the town). The section to the north-west that has opened up in Hansastraße is noted in the 1900 address book up to Hohen-Schönhauser Feldmark . In 1910 the building plans no longer existed, plots 58–141 were now construction sites , some were used as gardening centers or were used for agriculture. The industrial railway set up in 1907 (the district boundary of Hohenschönhausen and Weißensee, which has been established since 2001) crosses (in the old numbering) Falkenberger Straße between plots 76/77 and 123/124. According to the 1907 city map, this section was a road , across the border to the Hohenschönhauser area (actually Wartenberg) the road led through Rieselfelder . At this point in time, only the route planned for Kniprodestrasse east of the Lost Way is available on the plan in the southern area of ​​the (later) Hansastrasse from the Jewish cemetery (i.e. between the extended Wörthstrasse and Gürtelstrasse (s)) . There is no route project across Lichtenberger Strasse (→  Indira-Gandhi-Strasse ) between the brewery and the Resurrection Cemetery. The inner-city Kniprodestrasse (Berlin NE) also ended at the beginning of the 20th century in front of the Ringbahn and consists of a planned route up to the Jewish cemetery.

History of further sections based on plans and address books

Extended Kniprodestrasse, 1928

These historical representations can be found for the individual earlier sections:
In the address book 1914 the stoker and the gardener are named as residents for the property at Giersstrasse 4 of the infant hospital owned by the community of Weißensee, in 1915 the entry is community infant hospital, inhabited by Oberin, Assist. Doctor and caretaker. It could be reached from Falkenberger Strasse via Giersstrasse. A direct route was not necessary, the feed came from the town center. On the general plan in the 1914 address book, there is an unnamed street as an extension of Kniprodestrasse from Prenzlauer Berg through the "Israelitische Kirchhof" and crossing Lichtenberger Strasse south of the Israelite workers' colony. From there east past the Resurrection Cemetery as the main street of a projected city quarter to Hohenschönhauser Straße (this is extended into Suermondtstraße). At the infant hospital with the dairy cure facility, followed by a public park on the south side, it goes over a space extension to the bend in Falkenberger Straße (property 143) and ultimately continues to Falkenberg on the existing road. Probably not carried out due to the First World War and the subsequent inflation or the transfer of planning sovereignty from the municipality of Weißensee to the city ​​of Berlin , the municipality's infant hospital is still listed in the 1921 address book at Giersstraße 4. Street 90 is in the 1918 address book starting from Giersstraße Infant hospital, nursing home and milk spa (as well as construction sites) are registered. Areas on the (crossing) Hohenschönhauser Strasse are occupied by construction sites and market gardens up to the Hohenschönhausener Feldmark and are not connected to Strasse 90 . Straße 90 was the plan name for the alternatively named Extended Kniprodestraße on Weißenseer Flur. In the 1932 address book, Giersstrasse between Falkenberger Strasse and Verl. Kniprodestrasse is noted with construction sites, on the other hand also up to Strasse 90 . The infant hospital and the city are on one side. Sisterhood, the other side is the Weißensee dairy.

North end of Hansastrasse from Neuzeller Weg

Around 1920, a first section of the street was laid out as street 90 , which branched off from Giersstraße, to provide traffic access to the infant hospital , the nursing home and the milk spa. A connection to the existing Kniprodestrasse in the Prenzlauer Berg area would be planned via the grounds of the Weissensee Jewish cemetery , from which the name Extended Kniprodestrasse was derived. From 1930 onwards, the planned street from Buschallee (30th place) to the south was laid out as a cul-de-sac and in the address book. On July 10, 1933, the new traffic route north of the Resurrection Cemetery at the children's hospital to the sports facilities was named Kniprodeallee .

On the city ​​map of Berlin 1928 , above the route through the Jewish cemetery, which is not affected by piety, is the projected route Road 90 = extended Kniprodestrasse to the border of Hohenschönhausen (identical to the west side of Lichtenberger Strasse and across this to a square square at an intersection with one on Orankeweg projected road - again identical to the Hohenschönhausen / Weißensee border) south of the churchyard. Swinging slightly to the north from there, the extended Kniprodestrasse is marked as “marked out” (still also entered as road 90). This street already has two lanes over Platz 30, where Buschallee crosses, while Hohenschönhauser Straße becomes a side street that flows into it. At the sports and playground "Am Faulen See", street 90 ends around 250 meters behind Giersstraße on an undeveloped area 60 meters southeast of Falkenberger Straße, which runs to the northeast.

By 1935, Straße 90 was further expanded between Hohenschönhauser Straße, Buschallee, across Giersstraße to Feldmark and there were new buildings on it. The street 90 was included in the Kniprodeallee around 1937 , so that the infant hospital got this address. In addition, new buildings were built on Kniprodeallee , a (vocational) school and a gymnasium are indicated and unspecified “construction sites”. The two road sections, Extended Kniprodestrasse and Kniprodeallee , still existed in parallel for some time. In the street area of Extended Kniprodestrasse , the city of Berlin opened the sports field on Faulen See in the 1930s. In the transition area from Kniprodeallee to Falkenberger Straße, which has been planned since the 1920s, however, the plots 51, 52, 53, 54 are with their owners, the following 55–71 on the south side of Falkenberger Straße are generally construction sites. A footpath led around these owned properties between Falkenberger Strasse and Kniprodeallee .

Hansastrasse ponds at Liebermannstrasse

The 1943 address book contains the Kniprodeallee between Feldmark, via Giersstraße, Buschallee to Feldmark. There is no sign under Lichtenberger Straße at the level of the projected Kniprodeallee , but occupied and built-up properties. The Orankeweg from Lichtenberger Straße is undeveloped and has been noted without further notice. To Falkenberger Strasse, the general sketch of Kniprodeallee from the south is drawn in in 1943 , on the opposite side the Franz-Joseph-Strasse (→ Liebermannstrasse) opens , between 124 and 77 the industrial railway crosses, then Feldmannstrasse (north) and Am Faulen See (south) ), at property 85 Neuzeller Straße to the south and at 104 with Hohenschönhauser Straße to the north, Malchower Weg to the east, the named part ends and continues in the street to Falkenberg.

The aerial photos from 1943 and 1953 under Google Earth show a two-lane street course on Kniprodeallee , which ends 320 meters south of Buschallee.

Road connection planned after World War II

According to the city map from 1954, Kniprodeallee runs through undeveloped terrain from the Resurrection Cemetery to Buschallee and across Platz 30 , where Piesporter Strasse and Hohenschönhauser Strasse meet, on to the children's hospital and Giersstrasse to the sports fields. A partially built-up interruption area connects to Falkenberger Straße, which has been developed as a trunk road. Liebermannstraße, Feldtmammstraße, Neuzeller Weg, Bitburger Straße flow into the latter and their end is at Hohenschönhauser Weg and Malchower Weg. The continuation goes after a few meters from (right) private road 12 through the Rieselfelder. On other maps of the 1960s and 1970s there were only a south Kniprodeallee guided impasse . It led from Falkenberger Strasse / Buschallee sports field in a south-westerly direction to the rear boundary of the grounds of the St. Josef Hospital. The development of the individual parts of the street probably led to the fact that there are no consecutive house numbers for Hansastraße, but the plot count was determined by the existing situation when the continuous street was expanded.

Transition from the former Kniprodeallee with the new street to the route of the former Falkenberger Straße

In Schwarz's 1978 city map, there are several cuts for the (later) Hansastraße street. The entire route is located in the Weißensee district of the Weißensee district.

• Between Lichtenberger Straße and the cemetery border, which is extended to the east, there is partially agricultural land.
• This is followed by Kniprodeallee , to the south with an undeveloped section and the same length as Buschallee is the built-up section.
• From Buschallee, the following section of the Kniprodeallee includes Giersstraße and ends (without connection) at the bend in Falkenberger Straße.
• From this point on, Falkenberger Straße is marked as F 158 , which leads from the F 2 from Weißensee to the Polish border.
• Falkenberger Straße goes in the Malchow district as Falkenberger Chaussee through the abandoned Rieselfeld area and after 300 meters it changes to the Wartenberg district.

Realization of the eastern section from 1986

The magistrate of Berlin awarded upgraded for (since 1984) on June 1, 1988, extended and widened Thoroughfare name Hansastraße. The eastern section of Falkenberger Straße was incorporated into Hansastraße. A construction of the continuation to the south from Hansastraße (Kniprodeallee) via the Jewish cemetery to Kniprodestraße (then: Arthur-Becker-Straße ) as a bypass of Weissensee was canceled.

The plot of land is counted in orientation numbering , starting with 1 in the south on the north side at the corner of Indira-Gandhi-Straße. The road layout is based on the previously existing traffic routes. To the south on Indira-Gandhi-Straße, Hansastraße begins on the route of the extended Kniprodestraße , which existed as Planstraße 90 . The opposite continuation of the extended Kniprodestrasse in the composers' quarter opened up during the construction of the “Gounodstrasse Süd” quarter in Chopinstrasse (as an uncategorized side street according to StEP). After 310 meters, the road crosses the Orankeweg, which forms the district border, leads in an arc in the direction of Falkenberg southeast around the cemetery of the Resurrection Church parish (on the east side KGA Oranke). Leading to the north-east, the residential area is cut to the west by the Orankesee, which was built at the end of the 1980s by WBK Rostock as part of the “Capital Berlin Development Program”. Buschallee is crossed in an easterly arch (Kniprodeallee) (previously place 30 ). From Buschallee, Kniprodeallee continued for 500 meters and was expanded for Hansastraße. The following slight bend is a 200 meter newly created section, which represents the transition “Kniprodeallee to Falkenberger Straße” in the course of the 1988 included Falkenberger Straße. The further course to Hohenschönhausen and Falkenberg was created while widening the existing road location. The new district change to the district of Alt-Hohenschönhausen takes place on the southern edge of the former industrial railway . Hansastraße ends at the intersection of Darßer Straße / Malchower Weg, the further street with a higher function leads as Falkenberger Chaussee leads to the large settlement of Hohenschönhausen and through Falkenberg ultimately to the B 158 .

There have been car dealerships on the former industrial railway route since the 1990s.

On the northern section, commercially used residential buildings from the 1930s replace the large car dealerships.

Traffic function

As a major city street, the less attractive Hansastraße is primarily used for road traffic. Striking on the northern Hansastraße between Buschallee and Hohenschönhauser Ende are the many car dealers, workshops and petrol stations that were built after the political change and the opening of the market , which are located on the small housing estate on the former Falkenberger Straße. The southern Hansastrasse, on the other hand, is determined by the green of the allotment gardens and the cemetery, apart from the new building quarter.

Some cross streets and sections described in more detail

With the listed residential building of the Bauhaus estate Buschallee, this street in the central part of Hansastraße divides a southern part with multi-storey residential buildings from the 1960s on Kniprodeallee and the residential quarters from 1988/1994, as well as the school district behind the trade school. To the north of Buschallee, at the transition from Kniprodeallee to Falkenberger Straße, there is the children's hospital, followed by the Stadion Buschallee sports area, on the opposite side of the street the rear of the property from Giersstraße and the eastern Falkenberger Straße, followed by the fenced in 'Hansastraße pond' in the northwest. On the southern Hansastraße (at the former end of Kniprodeallee), the arable land between the St. Joseph Hospital and Lake Orankesee (3.4 hectares to the west and 5.7 hectares to the east) (still) in east Berlin started the residential quarter Hansastraße-Süd. The houses to the east were initially built by WBK Rostock. After the political change in 1990, the district (on the west side with new designs) was completed by 1994 as part of the social housing construction of the State of Berlin .

• Indira-Gandhi-Straße up to and including Orankeweg in Alt-Hohenschönhausen
  • Hansastraße 1–5 (odd) is a commercial property with a fast food restaurant and a car repair shop .
  • Hansastraße 4: The allotment garden 'Oranke' was divided during the road expansion. On the west side of Hansastrasse (plot 7 accordingly, but not so addressed) there are 7350 m² of allotment gardens, while the larger part (0.9 ha) of the complex in Alt-Hohenschönhausen together with the almost 2.7 hectare KGA, which is adjacent to the south, Planter friends' (up to the school and competitive sports center Berlin Hohenschönhausen ) are provided with the address Hansastraße 4. It should be noted the path of the facility, known as the valley path, which is located on both sides of the street in the KGA 'Oranke'.
  • Hansastraße 40: On the east side across the Orankeweg (with the district border) there is another part of the KGA 'Oranke' (3.8 ha) as Hansastraße 40 in the Weissensee district. This part of the facility is located between Hansastraße, the officially named branch of Hansastraße and Orankeweg.

It should be noted that the site is about two meters lower on both sides of the road than the road that was filled up during construction.

• Orankeweg (above) to Buschallee in Weißensee
  • The "Cemetery of the Resurrection Community" borders with its eastern edge on the north side of the road. Plots 9–63 (odd) are missing from the Hansastraße count. Obviously, the outskirts of the cemetery were not buried, as the planned road 90 (extended Kniprodestrasse) was already included in the 1928 city map .
  • Hansastraße 52–112 (straight, east, five blocks of flats), Hansastraße 65–149 (odd, west, blocks of flats and single houses), plus at the end of the Hansastraße side branch the single houses Hansastraße 106a – 106d and the comb-shaped block of flats 108a – 108f, the latter in a Weißensee peak between Orankestrand (adjoining Orankesee) and the corner of Hansastraße to Orankeweg. These houses are other notable buildings besides those around Buschallee. These are located on the strip of land west of Orankesee at the St. Joseph Hospital, which, as an agricultural "church field", formed the southern edge of Kniprodeallee (at the north of the cemetery) until the end of the 1970s. The blocks of flats east of the street were still built as type buildings from 1988 over the political turnaround, to the west of the road after the turn, marketed as the "Weißensee residential district", there are blocks of flats in free architectures of social housing that were completed in 1994. Although only one street from the eastern Hansastraße on the south of the quarter is officially listed as Hansastraße, there are still several private roads under this name as access routes between the blocks.
  • Hansastraße 153: The sports hall is next to 160 meters of unnumbered Hansastraße, in the hinterland of which the 44th elementary school and the upper school center Brillat-Savarin-Schule (OSZ Gastgewerbe) are addressed to Sulzfelder Straße. The two buildings standing directly on the street on unnumbered property (formerly: Kniprodeallee 115 and 121) belonged to the “Commercial Vocational School for Agriculture and Horticulture”.
  • Hansastraße 159–169 (odd) are two apartment blocks on the irregular plot of land (formerly) Kniprodeallee 123–129. They were built at the same time as the opposite blocks of flats at Hansastrasse 150–172 (previously: Kniprodeallee 112–132) around 1960 to the early 1960s.
  • Between Hansastraße, Buschallee and Orankestrand, the allotment gardens 'Sonnenschein' (Hansastraße 172a) and 'For the free hour' (Hansastraße 164a), which were laid out in 1926, are completely designated as garden monuments. These allotments are located behind the four apartment blocks with the house number Hansastraße 150–172.

Hansastraße 174–176, with the Buschallee residential complex, listed as a historical monument

• Hansastraße 174/176 (formerly: Kniprodeallee 134/136): The residential buildings are part of a larger, listed residential complex, which is mainly located in Buschallee. It was created between 1925 and 1930 based on designs by Bruno Taut on behalf of GEHAG . The block development lies beyond these two corner buildings in the Buschallee, the intersection with the Buschallee is open. The north-west corner (Buschallee 69, formerly Kniprodeallee 133) takes a track loop and then follows an undeveloped area as Hansastraße 173 (a cleared allotment area).

• Buschallee up to the industrial railway line in Weißensee
  • Hansastraße 175 in the northwest corner with Giersstraße with the allotment garden, Hansastraße e. V. ' was created in 1946 as grave land for growing vegetables and root crops. The facility is allotment-managed on an area of ​​8050 m² in 31 plots. The neighboring property at Hansastrasse 173 is a protected green area with a nursery behind it.
  • Hansastraße 179 and the following: The confluence of Giersstraße (with the corner lot Giersstraße 2) is followed by the property Hansastraße 179 and 179a spun off from Falkenberger Straße 51 (previously: 25 m × 80 m). The built-up plot of land at Falkenberger Strasse 54 before the expansion of Hansastrasse has been missing since then, leaving a trapezoidal, fenced area. This is followed by the turning point for the buses (lines 156 and 259, as of 2015) on the northwest side of Hansastraße (formerly: Falkenberger Straße 141). The numbering of Hansastraße (nos. 181–185) is missing up to the new buildings Liebermannstraße 185 and 202, which stand along Hansastraße. After Liebermannstraße there are 187 following (odd). Between the bus turning point and the Liebermannstrasse houses, there are 200 meters of undeveloped “wild” bush / tree land, protected by a fence on the road, the “GLB Teich Hansastrasse” reserve. The water is marked as a green area on the plan from 1907 and according to this is connected to the Lazy Lake.
  • Hansastraße 174–176: two three-story residential buildings as corner buildings from Buschallee based on plans by Buno Taut around 1930.
  • Hansastraße 178–180: On 230 meters of street front on the east side a little to the north of Buschallee is the listed children's hospital , since decaying ruins since 1997.
  • Hansastraße 182–190: Stadium Buschallee and the 'Sportkomplex Hansastraße', which includes a youth home, several sports fields, a sports hall and other buildings down to the NSG Fauler See .

• Former industrial railway line to Darßer Strasse and Malchower Weg in Alt-Hohenschönhausen
  • Hansastraße 203 (and not officially 204): While there is property 203 on the north side, there is no property number between 202 and 206 on the south side. These properties and the area on both sides entered as a route in the plan are already in the Alt-Hohenschönhausen district. Here the crossing of the industrial railway is lost, which has led over the (then) Falkenberger Straße since 1910 . The connection was interrupted on January 22, 1985 with the road works to Hansastraße. Since then, the end of the track has been a little east of Piesporter Strasse. Until the tracks were torn down - they were between Falkenberger Straße 123 to 124 (north side) and opposite 76 and 77 - there was a siding (200 meters) over the street next to the main track, which branched off 30 meters further south (204).
  • Hansastraße 236: At the northern end on the corner of Malchower Weg is the "Hansa-Center", whose customers live in the Neu-Hohenschönhausen housing estate. The “consumer colossus” got into financial difficulties around 2010, especially since the next and larger shopping center is only one street crossing (430 m) away. With 11,000 m² of retail space and also used for various leisure facilities, the building with a 200-meter street front is addressed as Hansastraße 236. During the bankruptcy, there were plans to build residential buildings on this property (16,500 m²) after the demolition. In the depths south of this structure along Malchower Weg are the housing estates of the garden and small housing estate 'Am Großen Seepark', which has existed since (at least) the mid-1920s. Two associated streets led away from Hansastraße, with Am Faulen See being planned but not fully implemented, Sternberger Straße continued with a footpath (later: Neuzeller Weg), the long, narrow properties of three transversal ones (Drossener, Königswalder, Rackwitzer Straße ) developed. At the beginning of the 1930s, Tamseler Strasse was extended, while 50 meters of the plot on Malchower Weg remained undeveloped until the 1990s.

Children's Hospital

Ruin of the children's hospital after 18 years of vacancy

The former children's hospital is on the site of Hansastrasse 178–180. The municipal building councilor Carl James Bühring took over the design and construction planning for the first municipal infant and children's hospital in Prussia . It was inaugurated on July 8, 1911 with a ceremony. For therapeutic purposes, the clinic was integrated into a landscaped park and had a lecture hall for prospective physicians connected to the main building. A novelty for the time was the dairy cure facility located in the immediate vicinity of the hospital . It comprised a model cowshed and a food preparation facility to ensure that the newborns and their mothers are directly supplied with milk. The excess milk was sold to the population.

When the children's hospital was completed, there was no traffic routing in this area and the facility initially had the address Straße 33 , No. 4, from 1912 corresponding to Giersstraße 4. In the 1914 address book on the overview map of Berlin-Weißensee there is already a route from the Israelite cemetery as far as Falkenberger Strasse: At the northeastern area of ​​its intersection with Hohenschönhauser Strasse, the milk cure facility, the infant hospital and then the Volkspark opposite the Giersstrasse confluence are indicated.

The children's hospital on the 28,000 m² property has stood the test of time. In 1987 it was expanded by adding a ward block. Ten years later, the Senate decided to close the traditional institution in 1996. It only remained as a listed property. Since January 1, 1997, the former infant hospital of the community of Weißensee with all its farm buildings has been unused and left to decay. - The building was sold to a Russian investor in 2005 after several attempts (a company wanted to use radio waves to cure AIDS ) . A scientific center for cancer research should go into operation on the site by 2015 at the latest , a therapy center, an outpatient clinic and a conference center were planned. The concept of MWZ Bio Resonanz GmbH (a consortium of Russian doctors) earmarked ten million euros for the protection of monuments and the preservation of the building structure . The main building had already burned eleven times by mid-June 2013, so that the fire brigade is assuming arson. Instead of investments, the consortium brought modified proposals without their own activities.

Condition on the grounds of the Weißensee Children's Hospital, 2012

The buildings continue to deteriorate, cable and other thieves as well as graffiti smearers did and do theirs. Due to non-compliance with all contractual commitments, the property fund applied for a reversal of the purchase agreement in 2012. In January 2015, the Berlin Regional Court decided that the Russian investor had to return the building to the Berlin Liegenschaftsfonds . The land charges entered in the land register (more than five million euros) still have to be paid by the owner. The location and the size of the property allow various higher-quality uses.

The Pankow district would like to have apartments built on the large site; the existing proposals for mixed use residential / commercial should be carefully examined. The judgment did not provide complete legal certainty because the property owner MWT appealed. A final judgment was also not announced in 2019. Use or repair of the listed buildings is still not in sight (as of August 2019).

Dairy facility

The history of the dairy farm is linked to the inauguration of the first infant and children's hospital in Prussia in 1911. The dairy cure facility, consisting of the cowshed and a dairy, was located on the adjacent site. She supplied milk, butter and quark to patients and residents in the area. In 1926, the dairy cure facility and cowshed became the property of Berliner Stadtgüter GmbH and was converted into a dairy. From 1949 it merged with other production facilities of the Association of People's Own Goods Berlin (VVG) to form VEB Meierei Berlin. 1953–1956 the VEB Milchhof Berlin was built in Heinersdorfer Romain-Rolland-Strasse, the operating part in Kniprodeallee continued to exist through the 1960s. After German-German reunification, the Bolle took over the dairy farm, but closed it immediately afterwards. The former farm yard and the dairy on what was then the hospital grounds were located at Kniprodeallee 138 . In 1928 the company Kutzera Expresso Fabrikate KG settled at Kniprodeallee 138 , which existed until 1972 and was finally taken over by VEB Feinkost . The delicatessen went to the Treuhandanstalt , which sold it to a private person in 1990.
