history

Origin and location in the suburbs

With the construction of the military railway line between Berlin and Potsdam , a straightened long aisle was created from Knobelsdorffstraße in Charlottenburg to the bridge between the Kleiner and Großer Wannsee between 1873 and 1879 in the royal forest of Grunewald . This then bore the name Kronprinzessinnenweg along its entire length. On this route, the Prussian kings drove from Charlottenburg Palace on the Wannsee to Potsdam.

Already in 1874 the Königsweg was marked in the Charlottenburg area up to Feldstrasse (since 1887: Knobelsdorffstrasse). The course has changed several times over the decades, mainly due to the construction of the Ringbahn and the AVUS . With the Ringbahnschlss in 1877 this was overcome for the Königsweg with the wooden Königswegbrücke . With the redesign of the Charlottenburger Westend, the route of the Königsweg ended up in the southern Königin-Elisabeth-Straße, then on the Messedamm. After 1918, the Kronprinzessinnenweg up to the Großer Stern was included in the Königsweg. It should be noted that the Grunewald was still Spandau Forest at the beginning of the 20th century and was part of the Wilmersdorf district when Greater Berlin was formed. Due to the construction of the railway, the Königsweg was relocated to the west at Exercierplatz (at Jagen 50, later the exhibition site). Exercierplatz (between Jagen 51 and 52) was located on the northwest side of Königsweg, between the crossing railway line (Hamburg connection railway) and Eichkamp station . In the 1920s, the Charlottenburger Königsweg consisted of the urban street section along Witzleben , which "broke off" at Neue Kantstrasse . The missing course (plots 62–79) in Charlottenburg was replaced by Straße 14 on the plan area for Westend , into which the Königin-Elisabeth-Straße was extended.

Greater Berlin

With the formation of Greater Berlin in 1920, the two administrative districts of Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf were formed and the district border between the two crossed the Königsweg. From the district border on, the Königsweg existed in Wilmersdorf as leading to the Kronprinzessinenweg under this name. In the 1919 address book, the Königin-Elisabeth-Straße from Spandauer Berg to Königsweg is located. The Königsweg itself is listed in the south up to plots 51 and from 82 at Witzleben / Dernburgstraße / Neue Kant-Straße train station. From Königsweg at Witzleben train station, Rognitzstrasse is also located to Strasse 32b and to Kaiserdamm with the large exhibition hall “Kaiserdamm”. The names of the Königsweg around 1925 in the districts of Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf are shown in 1925 on the “Silva overview plan of the city of Berlin and its 20 administrative districts” with the northeast and southwest branches and the resulting break.

In 1930 the north end of Königsweg was at the corner of Nehringstrasse and Knobelsdorffstrasse on the (unnamed) square there. From there it ran over the Horstweg and the Kaiserdamm at Witzlebenplatz, and further at Witzlebenpark to the southwest. As a street with a width of 26.4 meters, it ended (for the time being) at the triangular square on Neue Kantstraße in front of the East Prussia Bridge at the Witzleben station on the Ringbahn. After a 500-meter break via Ostpreußenbrücke and Ostpreußen-Allee into Königin-Elisabeth-Straße , it continues south of the “Bauausstellung 1931” on the (then) district boundary as Königsweg. The other course that begins opposite the Nordschleife is 13 meters wide and is widened to 24 meters halfway to the south. It is located right next to the Automobile Traffic and Exercise Road (AVUS) on the Eichkamp settlement. Then between AVUS and Grunewald to the Großer Stern (AVUS here Automobilstraße). There is a street overview sketch in the 1935 address book. The road run of the Königsweg (Charlottenburg, Post Office 5) is recorded as before between Knobelsdorffstraße and Dernburgstraße with horseshoe numbering . On the properties of the Königsweg from No. 62 to the end, reference was made to Grunewald Forest under Charlottenburg. The section "Grunewald with Grunewald forest (including Eichkamp settlement)" belonging to the Wilmersdorf administrative district (since 1920) included under the "Grunewald forest" administrative unit. For 1-61 referenced Charlottenburg, 62-79 do not exist and in addition, the settlement houses are 80 to 149 from the station Eichkamp to Grunewald station called with these inhabiting settlers.

On July 7, 1936, the urban section in Charlottenburg was renamed Wundtstrasse . The rest of the tour, including the Königin-Elisabeth-Straße to Kaiserdamm, has been renamed Messedamm . After the Messedammbrücke, the settlement section of the Königsweg was given the name Eichkampstraße across the Charlottenburg district border (butterfly square) to the Wilmersdorf administrative district to the underpass from Auerbachstraße. The plots of the latter two streets have been adjusted in the census. The Königsweg, which is shorter around Eichkampstrasse, has only recently been given new property numbering. The Königsweg 1943 between the passage Auerbacher Straße and the Großer Stern is listed under the keyword Grunewald-Forst without any property allocation.

Current and historical map material has been located under HistomapBerlin on maps 4144, 4148, 4151, 4155 since the 1920s.

use

The paved forest path between the Eichkamp settlement and the Wannsee train station along the A 115 (AVUS) has meanwhile become a popular training route for cyclists and skaters. The continuation across the suburb and district border on Hüttenweg (Großer Stern) to the south forms the Kronprinzessinenweg in the same route. At the north end of the Auerbach tunnel under the A 115 between Auerbachstrasse and Pappelplatz, the Eichkampstrasse continues the route, as far as the district boundary to Westend as a simple road. The path along the motorway is marked as a shared cycle and footpath .

Street directory

At the northeast end of the Königsweg merges directly into the two-lane Eichkampstraße, here the Pappelplatz crosses to the north to the Eichkamp forestry and to the south through the passage under the motorway and railway line to Auerbachstraße. The transition to Kronprinzessinenweg in the southeast is at the Hüttenweg exit of the AVUS (Großer Stern). The skater route is continued on the Kronprinzessinenweg, the remains of the former south bend are still 500 meters on the Königsweg.

The Königsweg, located exclusively in the district of Grunewald, is included in the Berlin street directory under the number 2513 with a length of 2323 meters. The RBS class STRA requires the equipment as a route, but it remains uncategorized in the urban development plan (StEP) in the level (V). With the classification in the OKSTRA class "X" it is not subject to the supervision of the street and green area office of the district Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf . At Königsweg, on the side of the motorway, there are simple concrete blocks with kilometers every 100 meters. Properties 2–12 and 16–22 (even) in statistical area 47 (block 047109) belong to the Königsweg. The postcode is 14193 Berlin. According to the “lifeworld oriented rooms” (LOR), the Königsweg belongs to 04061757.

The Königsweg in the district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf (street number 2514) in the districts of Nikolassee, Wannsee and Zehlendorf, as well as the Königsweg in the district of Reinickendorf (district Tegel , 2515) should also be noted. The 1922 address book contains the following entries for "Königsweg": Charlottenburg (p. 1083), Eichkamp (p. 1209), Kohlhasenbrück (p. 1280), Zehlendorf (p. 1293) and the independent ones in Tegel (p. 1850) , Mahlsdorf (p. 1751) and Schöneberg (p. 1360), the latter two no longer existing.

Land

Plots 2–22, which are located in the postal code area 14193, are addressed to the street . On the odd side of the count is the Autobahn. The plots are allocated:

  • Tiergarten tree nursery and Berlin Forest Museum with Grunewald Forest School (4, Jagen 57),
  • Wilmersdorf nursery (district nursery ) and plant garden of the Berlin zoo (6),
  • Grunewald sports ground (8, 10),
  • Houses and land: Königsweg 18, 20 and 22 (Jagen 60) are located in the southeast of a ten hectare forest reserve area, 240 meters from the path into the Grunewald . An unpaved forest access road to the house begins between 1.8 and 1.9 kilometers . The playgrounds of the Berlin universities were located on this area from the 1920s to 1960s, and from 1967 to 1990 they were only known as playgrounds. The sports field has fallen into disrepair, the residential building (No. 20) is unused but not empty. The north-eastern forest section is assigned to No. 18.
  • The plots 12–16 (straight) not shown on the map are obviously forest areas provided in the land registry (Jagen 58, 59, 60).
  • On the motorway side, next to Königsweg (480 meters from Hüttenweg to the northeast) is the rest of the former AVUS south bend . The concrete surfaces were removed in 2012. What remains is a triangular green area, separated from the Königsweg by a fence, which widens towards the southwest between concrete blocks 1,9 and 2,4 along the way.

To the south of the passenger station, the parking station for city traffic was opened on Königsweg in 1907 . The Hundekehle railcar shed, which was managed by the Deutsche Reichsbahn until 1993, and other buildings, some of which are less well-preserved, such as the locomotive shed, storage and administration buildings. These systems on Königsweg were added to the list of monuments as a parking station and depot Hundekehle .
