The Hohenzollerndamm is an important main road in the Berlin districts of Wilmersdorf , Schmargendorf and Grunewald , which connects the western city center with the southwestern district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf . The street was laid out around 1875 and was given its current name around 1900 in honor of the family of the Hohenzollerns who made up the Prussian kings and German emperors until 1918 .
course
The Hohenzollerndamm begins in the western inner city of Berlin , in the middle of the historic Carstenn figure , on Bundesallee in the area of the Spichernstrasse underground station and runs out of town in a south-westerly direction via Hohenzollernplatz and Fehrbelliner Platz . In this section, the U3 underground line runs under the street. Fehrbelliner Platz is surrounded by administrative buildings from the 1920s and the National Socialist era , such as the Wilmersdorf Town Hall, and the building for the German Pension Insurance from the 1970s and the Prussian Park . Further to the south-west is Hoffmann-von-Fallersleben-Platz with the Russian Orthodox Christ Resurrection Cathedral , inaugurated in 1938 , which, as the main church of this religious community in Germany , was supposed to win over the anti-Soviet group. The Hohenzollerndamm then crosses the Berlin Ringbahn with the Hohenzollerndamm S-Bahn station and the A 100 city motorway . The border between the districts of Wilmersdorf and Schmargendorf is also located here. From now on, Hohenzollerndamm continues in a south-westerly direction, initially along the extensive building complex of the former military district command III of the Wehrmacht , which was taken over by the AEG after 1948 as a Berlin branch .
At the confluence of Salzbrunner Straße is the Evangelical Gymnasium Zum Grauen Kloster, the oldest grammar school in Berlin, which had been located in Berlin-Mitte as the Berlinisches Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster since 1574 and was reopened here after the Second World War .
The Hohenzollerndamm leads past Flinsberger Platz and Elsterplatz - where it crosses Berkaer Straße near the town hall Schmargendorf - past to Roseneck , where Teplitzer Straße and Rheinbabenallee merge into Hohenzollerndamm. The street that continues in a straight line bears his name - now in the district of Grunewald - for another 250 meters and turns in a clear left curve at the confluence of Bernadottestraße into Clayallee leading to Zehlendorf and Teltow .
Originally, around 1900, the Hohenzollerndamm ran on a slightly different route just outside the Ringbahn near the Grunewald near today's Clayallee . In 1908, the Preußische Strasse within the S-Bahn ring - whose name was in connection with the Bavarian , Pomeranian , Sächsische , Württembergische Strasse and the Preußenpark - was renamed to match the existing Hohenzollernplatz and under this name to what was then Kaiserallee (today: Bundesallee ) connected. As a result, the sections were merged into a representative street.
The western Berlin suburban railway opened the tram route from the corner of Berliner Straße to Roseneck on February 27, 1913 . The eastern part of Hohenzollerndamm between Berliner Straße and Güntzelstraße was used by the Great Berlin Tram from February 25, 1917 , which also took over the section to Roseneck from that day. Most recently, the tram line 57 of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) ran on the Hohenzollerndamm between Emser Platz and Roseneck, it was discontinued on November 1, 1954 and replaced by the A50 bus line (now 115).
