The Koenigsallee is an approximately four-kilometer road in the Berlin district of Grunewald .
location
The Koenigsallee begins on the Hubertusallee near the Rathenauplatz and runs through the middle of the villa colony Grunewald past the Koenigssee . Various side streets branch off from it, including Fontanestrasse, Erdener Strasse and Wallotstrasse. In addition, the Macedonian Embassy is located at Koenigsallee 2–4. The Romanian Cultural Institute Titu Maiorescu is located in the Villa Walther at Koenigsallee 20a . The road ends at the intersection with Hüttenweg, from where there is a connection to the 115 motorway ( AVUS ). At this intersection, Koenigsallee continues as Onkel-Tom-Straße.
history
The street is named after the banker Felix Koenigs (1846–1900), who co-founded the villa colony at the end of the 19th century. The " Kurfürstendamm Society " was founded in December 1882. She was responsible for the negotiations on the purchase of the Grunewald from the then government in Potsdam , which were successfully concluded on October 31, 1889. In April 1889 began the marshy area of the Grunewald dry out . On October 31, 1890, approval was given for the construction of the Grunewald villa colony. Felix Koenigs gave it its name after the road was completed on April 1, 1895.
During the National Socialist era , Jewish homeowners were expropriated. Prominent members of the NSDAP , such as Hermann Göring and Joseph Goebbels , moved into the vacated villas .
