The Havelchaussee is a winding road through Berlin's Grunewald along the eastern bank of the Havel .
description
The Havelchaussee begins at the intersection of Teltower Straße / Elsgrabenweg in the Wilhelmstadt district and runs between the Tiefwerder Wiesen and the S-Bahn embankment of the Spandauer Vorortbahn parallel to the Alten Postweg in the Murellenschlucht and Schanzenwald nature reserve . Shortly before the Stößensee , it reaches the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district . More runs along the Stößensee and passes under the Stößenseebrücke the highway ( national roads B 2 / B 5 ). Via the Rupenhorn and the Schildhorn you get to the Grunewald Tower and Lieper Bay on the Havel island of Lindwerder . Before the Großer Steinlanke, it turns southeast from the Havel, crosses the Grunewald and ends in the Nikolassee district on Kronprinzessinnenweg near the A 115 ( AVUS ). The total length is 10.8 kilometers.
The Havelchaussee leads through the narrower protection zone of the water protection area for the Tiefwerder waterworks .
history
The route was laid out between 1876 and 1885 as a forest and connecting path between the municipality of Zehlendorf and the city of Spandau . It got its name around 1925. Since that time it has only been allowed to travel between Schildhorn by excursion buses that leave the Zoo station . The ban on private motor vehicle traffic was lifted after 1945 as West Berlin was increasingly closed off from the surrounding area.
During the years of the division of Berlin , the street opened up the only coherent excursion area on a large scale on the water for the population of West Berlin, with swimming in the numerous bays of the Havel and access to the Grunewald. While the opposite west bank of the Havel is largely blocked by private properties, access to the water along the Havelchaussee is only occasionally interrupted by properties owned by water sports clubs. At the northern end lie Havelstudios in which the 1988-1994 Sat.1 -Spielshow Wheel of Fortune was produced.
The Havelchaussee was and is a scenic alternative to the AVUS as a connection between Charlottenburg and Wannsee . Accordingly, the street was very busy before the fall of the Berlin Wall - especially on weekends in summer.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the Senate of that time under Walter Momper took measures to stop this private vehicle traffic. The passage through a section of the Havelchaussee was forbidden for private vehicles, and the parking facilities on both sides of the Havelchaussee in the vicinity of the most popular excursion destinations were barricaded with large tree trunks. The passage ban was lifted after this Senate was voted out of office, but the entire street remained Tempo 30 zone .
