The Lehrterstraße in Berlin district center extends from the Invalidenstrasse to Perlebergerstraße west of the route of Lehrter web after Taught in Hannover leads. It includes 75 house numbers that are shaped like a horseshoe . The traffic route continues south as Clara-Jaschke-Straße.

The former peat road, which ran straight north-south, was divided by the construction of the railway line. The southern part was given its current name on August 6, 1872, after the Lehrter station went into operation in 1871.

history

In the 19th century, barracks , houses for officers and a parade ground stretched along Lehrter Straße on the western side . On the eastern side, the Lehrter Bahn railway systems ran behind or above prison grounds and military buildings. Service apartments for railway employees were available and at the beginning of the 20th century apartment blocks were also built.

After German reunification, Lehrter Strasse moved from its peripheral location to the center of the city. The old buildings were refurbished without the area being designated as a redevelopment area. Two hotels were built in 2010, as well as row houses with small gardens on the corner of Seydlitzstrasse.

For the east side of Lehrter Straße, where 34 gardens of the railway agriculture and trade are located behind a historical brick wall on the former railway site, the district office Mitte von Berlin has drawn up a development plan for a new quarter. The Berlin City Mission built an office and congress center (Lehrter Strasse 68). She also runs a collection depot for donated clothing here in the basement.

City quarter Mittenmang

On the eastern side of the middle section of the street, between the sports facilities at the Poststadion and the Europacity, a new urban quarter called Mittenmang with around 1000 rental and owner-occupied apartments is being built on the 3.7  hectare site of the former depot of the Lehrter Bahnhof .
