Landsberger Tor (Berlin)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Landsberger Tor was one of the gates of the Berlin excise wall .

It formed the end of the Landsberger Straße coming from Alexanderplatz in the Königstadt , which continued as a road to the secondary residence of King Friedrich I in Altlandsberg . Like the excise wall, the gate was demolished around 1860, and Landsberger Platz at the intersection of Landsberger Allee and Friedenstraße was a reminder of the location.

Landsberger Platz was renamed Leninplatz in 1950 , then moved further west in connection with the construction of a now listed residential complex in 1976 and has been called the United Nations Square since 1990 . The former location of the Landsberger Tor is no longer recognizable in the street layout.

A residential and commercial area with the same name built in the 1990s in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district of Berlin has no connection with the historic Landsberger Tor.
