The Hofjägerallee is a street in the Berlin district of Tiergarten . It leads as a heavily frequented arterial road from the western city center in continuation of the Klingelhöferstraße coming from Lützowplatz through the Großer Tiergarten to the Großer Stern . The street was named in December 1832 after the former royal court hunter who had his house at the southern end of the avenue. Later the Winguthsche Etablissement stood here , a coffee house with a beer garden that was very popular with Berliners.
history
The avenue was laid out in 1832 as part of the redesign of the zoo. The zoo was badly destroyed during the Second World War , and the following winter of 1946 worsened the situation. In 1949 it was decided to completely restore the zoo as a landscape park and to reforest it. The first new linden tree was planted on the Hofjägerallee on March 17, 1949 by the then mayor Ernst Reuter . A memorial stone in front of the linden tree reminds of this.
