The Hiroshima street is a street in the Berlin district of Tiergarten , after the Japanese port city of Hiroshima is named.

history

The street was laid out in 1862 as Hohenzollernstraße . In 1933 the name was changed to Graf-Spee-Straße . This dedication to Admiral Graf Spee was related to the nearby building of the Reichsmarineamt .

On November 1, 1990, following a resolution by the District Assembly, it was named the first city on which an atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945 . This was intended to change the name of a street "which reminded of a former military , but above all the feeling of solidarity with the city of Hiroshima, since the first atomic bomb might have been dropped on Berlin."

Remarkable structures

The street is only 320 meters long, but due to its location in the diplomatic quarter it has a large number of buildings worth seeing (from north to south):

Planning

An embassy building for Portugal is planned diagonally across from the Representation of the State of Bremen . To the north of it, the new embassy building of Greece is to be built: On the property there was a villa by Robert Leibnitz from the years 1911 and 1912, which was used by Greece from 1920 until the end of the Second World War. After the war it was used by the Allies and abandoned in 1988 after fire damage caused by squatters . The remains of the listed villa will be integrated into the new building.
