history

Building on Lietzenburger Strasse

When it was built at the end of the 19th century, it began at what was then Rankeplatz, today's Friedrich-Hollaender-Platz, at the intersection of Joachimsthaler Strasse, and ended at Kostnitzer Strasse (today: Konstanzer Strasse at Olivaer Platz). As a result of the severe destruction in the Second World War , it was extended diagonally to the east by the previously rectangular road structure in order to relieve the Kurfürstendamm - Tauentzienstrasse street , including the repealed Achenbachstrasse. The cleared rubble land enabled a large street width. Together with the adjoining road An der Urania, the car-friendly aisle was also referred to as the " Südtangente " by the traffic planners of the post-war period .

From its eastern beginning to Uhlandstraße, the six-lane Lietzenburger Straße is equipped with a green median. The development consists of buildings from all epochs since the building of the street, from the Wilhelminian era to the beginning of the 21st century, including a rear wing of the Cumberland building located between the junctions of Schlüterstraße and Bleibtreustraße .
