The Kopernikusstraße is a street in the Berlin district of Friedrichshain . It was named after the astronomer and mathematician Nicolaus Copernicus . The street stretches from Gubener Strasse in the west to Simon-Dach-Strasse in the east and crosses Warschauer Strasse .
Street history
The street was named on September 5, 1903. Before that, it was listed as street no. 10 in Section XIV of the development plan. It initially ran between Warschauer Strasse and today's Neue Bahnhofstrasse (then Gürtelstrasse) at today's Ostkreuz station . On September 15, 1903, the route from Gubener Strasse to Warschauer Strasse was also named Kopernikusstrasse. In 1904 the section between Lenbachstraße and today's Neuer Bahnhofstraße was named Ludwig-Lehmann-Straße. The course of the road between Simon-Dach-Straße and Lenbachstraße was spun off from Kopernikusstraße in 1906 and has been called Simplonstraße since August 16, 1906 .
On January 1, 1910, the second flat line of the elevated railway company went into operation, which ran along Kopernikusstrasse between Libauer Strasse and the transition to Wühlischstrasse. When it was taken over in 1928, it was the last private Berlin tram line . In 1930 the section in Libauer Straße was closed and the line moved over Kopernikusstraße to Warschauer Straße. The M13 line is currently on this section.
particularities
Several houses are listed on Kopernikusstraße . These are the apartment house built in 1902/1903 with the house number 2/3 by Hermann Kriegel and Hermann Salow , the factory buildings no.23 and no.26 (second backyard) built in 1905 and the former furniture factory Rössler & Schmidt at no. 35. The latter was planned in 1905/1906 by the Berlin architect F. Schlundt and is now part of the Comeniushof on the adjacent Comeniusplatz and can no longer be reached via Kopernikusstraße. A memorial plaque is attached to house number 19, which commemorates the resistance fighter against National Socialism, Karl Pinnow , who lived in this house.
