Street history
It was created around 1705 when a circumvallation line was laid from Oranienburger Strasse to Große Frankfurter Strasse, along which the Berlin customs wall was later built. The road that followed this line, which was initially hardly built on, was initially only called the line , and later - the official name was not given until 1821 - Linienstraße . Well-known residents were the writer Julius von Voss and the resistance fighter Margarete Kaufmann . At the end of the 19th century, the social reformer Lina Morgenstern set up her soup kitchen here .
In Theodor Fontane's novel Der Stechlin , Frau von Gundermann, who is characterized as a “Berliner from a north-eastern suburban area” with a parvenu as a husband, when she first appeared, mentions that she once lived in this area.
In Alfred Döblin's novel Berlin Alexanderplatz , the protagonist Franz Biberkopf lives temporarily on Linienstraße.
Today, large parts of the buildings are under monument protection , such as the Israelite Krankenheim, the Catholic parish church of St. Adalbert from 1932, the Royal lending office in 1847, the fire station "Szczecin", the oldest fire station in Berlin and named after the nearby Stettin Station , the Gewerbehof at No. 155 with boiler house and chimney and the Volkshochschule Berlin Mitte (today, among other things, home of the small theater in Berlin-Mitte ). The old garrison cemetery , which was founded in 1706 and is one of the oldest surviving burial sites in Berlin, is also a listed building.
Bicycle traffic
The linear road, which was converted for 3.5 million euros, has been approved as a bicycle road since August 2008 . Police checks to ensure compliance with the traffic regulations applicable there were carried out three times in 2016, four times in 2017, three times in 2018 and zero times in the first half of 2019. During the controls in 2018, an unauthorized stop was found.
