The Heinrich-Heine-Straße runs in the Berlin district of Mitte from Kopenickerstrasse and Bridge Street to Prince Street at the junction with the Sebastian Street at the district border to Kreuzberg . It is named after the poet Heinrich Heine (1797-1856). Until 1960 it was known as Prinzenstrasse and Neanderstrasse .
history
Today's Heinrich-Heine-Strasse was first laid out in 1843 on the company property of the factory owner George Christian Neander (1784–1854) and only ran as far as Annenstrasse. This section was named Neanderhof , then Neanderstraße and continued in a straight line on Brückenstraße , which had existed since the beginning of the 1820s . The further section to the Landwehr Canal was created in the following years and was named Prinzenstraße in 1849 .
In the 1870s, the pioneer and inventor Johannes Miesler and his art institute J. Miesler at Neanderstrasse 37 produced, for example, chromolithographed postcards .
The street was given its current name by a resolution of the municipal authorities on July 22, 1960; the section of Prinzenstraße and Neanderstraße in what was then East Berlin's Mitte district were merged. Until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, there was a border crossing at its southern end .
Following the introduction of bricks that could be effectively applied especially in development areas from larger contiguous undeveloped space as possible, the Heine-quarter was in the years 1959-1961 at the south end of the street, right on the border of Kreuzberg with buildings of the type Q3A built . Later, the rest of the northern part of this street, which runs from the Heine district in the direction of Köpenicker Straße, was also provided with large block buildings.
The underground tunnel of the U8 line runs under Heinrich-Heine-Straße . The Heinrich-Heine-Straße underground station was not accessible in the GDR as a " ghost station ". However, it was used by the border troops as an entrance and exit for guard duty underground.
Others
In 1985, the rock band Marillion was filming the music video for the title Kayleigh at the border crossing .
