history
Today's Köpenicker Strasse was laid out in 1589 by order of Elector Johann Georg as an extension of an already existing military route from Berlin to Köpenick . In its early days, this street was not least used for the Elector's way to his hunting lodge in Köpenick, Köpenick Castle . Before the street as a whole was named Köpenicker Straße, parts of the street had various other names. Thus, the long causeway Weidendamm, the new drift and the new dam historical name of this street and its subsections. Historical spellings of the street name that still exists today are Cöpnicksche Straße (1723), Köpnicker Straße (1789) and later also Cöpenicker Straße .
Around 1700 French religious refugees , Huguenots , settled in the area around Köpenicker Straße .
In the course of industrialization and the opening up of large parts of Berlin's inner city, for example, the Bretschneider & Graeser paper and envelope factory (house numbers 36-38) , which extended over four courtyards, settled along the Köpenick area . Most of the buildings that have been preserved are now largely listed, such as (today's house number 40/41) the North German ice works with a cold store, (house numbers 16/17 and 22) storage houses of the Berlin port facilities BEHALA (Viktoriaspeicher I and II), commercial yards, a textile factory (Velvet ) , the Singer sewing machine factory , a bank and many other companies. On the other hand, long rows of streets with residential buildings were built during the founding period , as far as they survived the Second World War , they will be gradually renovated. In 1901/02, the Bunte Theater , a cabaret by Ernst von Wolzogens , was located at Köpenicker Strasse 68 for a few months . Wolzo had rented rooms for his cabaret Überbrettl remodeled and furnished by August Endell in Art Nouveau style. Although Wolzieh gave up the stage, which opened on November 28, 1901, in the spring of 1902 due to financial problems, the premises were still used for theaters and after another renovation, they were home to the Neue Freie for three years from 1910 under the name Neues Volkstheater Volksbühne .
After the Second World War, the section of Köpenicker Strasse was located northwest of Bethaniendamm on the territory of the Soviet sector, i.e. it belonged to East Berlin , while the part southeast of Bethaniendamm on Kreuzberg territory was on the territory of the American sector and in the four- sector city to the west -Berlin belonged. From 1961 to 1990, the wall at the level of Bethaniendamm divided Köpenicker Strasse. Before April 12, 1990, there was no border crossing along Köpenicker Strasse.
After German reunification , nightclubs , bars and start-ups settled on Köpenicker Straße and in its vicinity , which among other things use the old factory buildings that are no longer in use.

The Wrangelkiez , in the immediate vicinity of the southeastern end, is now a trendy district with several clubs and bars. The techno club Tresor was reopened on May 25, 2007 in the rooms of the disused power plant at Köpenicker Strasse 59-73, about two years after its closure in 2005. As early as 1988, the techno club Ufo was located in Köpenicker Strasse near the Schlesisches Tor for about a year. The Köpi housing project and cultural center , which is also named after this street, has existed at Köpenicker Strasse 137 since 1990 .
