The Herbert-von-Karajan-Straße is a short street in what is now the Berlin district of Tiergarten .

history

From 1846 to 1934 it was called Matthäikirchstraße . 1934–1947 it was renamed Standartenstrasse (after the name of the SA and SS Standarten ), then got its original name back. In 1998 it was finally renamed Herbert-von-Karajan-Straße after the well-known conductor of the Philharmonie located on this street , Herbert von Karajan . The then Berlin district of Tiergarten protested against this name change, but could not prevail.

Well-known personalities lived here, among other things

Robert Musil chose house no. 1, which was destroyed in World War II, as the setting in his works The Enchanted House , The Temptation of Silent Veronika and The Swarmers . The memory book The Enchanted House by Margarete Mauthner, which was published in 2004, is also of importance for Musil research .

The St. Matthew's Church , built in the Romanesque style of Northern Italy , which was restored after the Second World War , and the Philharmonie, the first building of the Kulturforum, are worth seeing .

From 1857 to 1866 the Naval Cadet Institute of the Prussian Navy was located in Matthäikirchstraße and was then relocated to Kiel .
