The Hardenberg Square is a square in Berlin . It is a sub-center in the Berlin City West and is located in the district of Charlottenburg ( Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district ). Hardenbergplatz borders in the north and east on the area of the zoological garden (district Tiergarten of the district center ) and in the south on Hardenbergstraße . To the west, the square is closed off by the Zoologischer Garten station building .
history
The place was built in 1958, than that between Hertzallee located and Hardenbergstraße part of Joachimsthalerstrasse in Hardenberg Square was renamed and converted into one. Like Hardenbergstrasse, it is named after the Prussian statesman Karl August von Hardenberg .
In the 1980s and especially before the 750th anniversary of Berlin in 1987, the square underwent a renovation. The subway exits on Hardenbergstrasse and the sales pavilion of Verkehrsbetriebe BVG on the central island were built over with buildings made of gray granite and the bus stops were completely redesigned in the style of a small bus station.
For decades , in the high-rise building on the corner of Budapester Strasse, there was Café Huthmacher, where the tradition of five o'clock tea was maintained, but which had to close due to bankruptcy .
The “ normal clock ” on the corner of Hardenbergstrasse has been and has been the meeting point for people to meet for over a century . Here, the advance editions of the Berlin Sunday newspapers were already being sold early on Saturday evening, which was important for those looking for apartments because of the apartment advertisements that appeared on Sundays at the time.
At Hardenbergplatz, the main character of the musical Line 1, who comes from the provinces, begins the adventure of the big city after leaving the train.
After the completion of the underground station on line 9 in 1961 and until the redesign in 1987, the Osram company, which was founded in Berlin, installed a 15-meter high floodlight, which was equipped with the latest, brightest lamps from its own production.
Up until the city's jubilee in 1987 at Bahnhof Zoo, a platform ticket for the price of one D-Mark had to be paid to the Deutsche Reichsbahn , which operated the so-called " interzonal trains ", to enter the platforms to accompany passengers .
The Berlin Zoo
The headquarters and the administration of the zoological garden are located in the building Hardenbergplatz 8 , next to it the lion gate of the zoo, which was rebuilt for the 750th anniversary of the city in 1987 according to old templates and redesigned in summer 2016 with a new cash desk area. Since then, the actual entrance has been on the other side of the gate and allows visitors without a ticket to take a look into the rhino enclosure.
