course

The street begins at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church on Breitscheidplatz. The Zoo Palast cinema, built in 1956, is on the right . At the intersection with Joachimsthaler Strasse and Hardenbergplatz , Hardenbergstrasse is spanned by the route of the Berlin Stadtbahn . After the bridge, the road is benefiting from the closeness of the - the late nineteenth building line engaging - building, on the other hand from the opening of the urban space by buildings of post-war modernism . This section is followed by the representative building of the former Higher Administrative Court of Berlin-Brandenburg on the north side and then the headquarters of the Berliner Bank . To the south is the Amerika-Haus , which was built as a cultural and information center of the USA in 1957 according to plans by the architect Bruno Grimmek , as well as the building of the former Berlin Chamber of Commerce and Industry with the Ludwig-Erhard-Haus behind it .

Behind the intersection with Fasanenstrasse is the concert hall of the University of the Arts (UdK) and behind it the joint building of the former University of Fine Arts and the University of Music , both now part of the UdK, which was completed in 1902 . This is followed by the joint canteen of the UdK and the Technical University of Berlin (TU).

Across from the cafeteria, Hardenbergstrasse opens into a small park on Steinplatz . This street is on following in the house Hardenbergstraße 10 since the 1980s the Café Hardenberg and has the Renaissance Theater in the Art Deco style at the corner of Knesebeckstraße his home, on the other side of the junction is named after the street House Hardenberg . The opposite side is occupied by the new building for the physical institutes of the TU Berlin, built in the 1970s.

Hardenbergstrasse leads to Ernst-Reuter-Platz (formerly: Knie ). This confluence was conveyed in two ways by Willy Kreuer's faculty building for mining and metallurgy at the TU Berlin, which was built between 1955 and 1959 : First, the longitudinal direction of its high-rise slab leads to urban planning and the direction of Hardenbergstrasse into the square. Furthermore, by setting the skyscraper back against the Wilhelminian development line, an urban expansion is created at the end of Hardenbergstrasse, so that it does not suddenly merge into the broad space of the square.

Transport links

In the eastern part of the street is the former most important long-distance train station in West Berlin, the Zoologischer Garten station . Trains of the S-Bahn , regional trains , regional express trains and night trains stop here . The full length of the U2 underground line crosses under Hardenbergstraße , with Ernst-Reuter-Platz underground station forming the western end of the street. Until the conversion of line 55 to bus traffic on October 2, 1967, trams operated on Hardenbergstrasse.
