List of streets and squares in Berlin-Friedenau
The list of streets and squares in Berlin-Friedenau describes the street system in the Berlin district of Friedenau with the corresponding historical references. At the same time, this compilation is part of the lists of all Berlin streets and places .
overview
Friedenau has 28,263 inhabitants (as of December 30, 2019) and includes the postcode areas 10827, 12159, 12161, 12163, and 14197.
The urban development feature of the Friedenau district is the " Carstenn figure " named after the planner Johann Anton Wilhelm von Carstenn , a regular urban layout of streets and squares. The original settlement structure can still be clearly seen: From the central Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz , which was designed as an anger , streets radiate apart in all directions, a horseshoe-shaped ring ( Stubenrauchstrasse and Handjerystrasse ) with four other squares ( Perelsplatz , formerly Berliner Square and later Maybachplatz, the Renée-Sintenis Square , formerly Wilmersdorfer place the Schillerplatz until 1905 Schmargendorfer place and the former Hamburg place , now part of the cemetery at the Stubenrauchstraße sets) around the central square and the north by the in West-east axis of Mainauer , Senta and Evastraße closed. The central north-south axis forms the federal avenue and the Rhine and the main road run diagonally in the south-east and the south-west Corso to the north- west .
Some Friedenau streets were renamed after rivers in Alsace-Lorraine , which should give expression to the basic idea behind the naming of Friedenau in memory of the " Peace of Frankfurt " concluded in the year it was founded (1871) .
Most of the buildings in Friedenau date from the beginning of the 20th century. As a result, the district has an almost uniform building stock. 185 objects are under monument protection .
Access to the Friedenau properties is possible via 64 streets and twelve squares, whereby the list includes an unassigned private street . The list thus reflects the official register of these locations, even if other areas - mostly east of Friedenau - are incorrectly included in this. These include the Friedenau S-Bahn station , the Ceciliengärten and the area around Rubensstrasse up to Grazer Damm (the so-called “Malerviertel”) and the Auguste Viktoria Hospital . The residential complexes built there in the first third of the 20th century were called "Neu-Friedenau", although they are located in the Schöneberg district.

Other locations in Friedenau
Georg Hermann Garden
The Georg Hermann Garden was inaugurated in 1962 on the site of the original “Ulmenhof” (park of the “Villa Sarrazin”) as a memorial for the writer and art critic Georg Hermann , who was murdered in Auschwitz in 1943 . As early as 1914, he was one of the few writers in Germany who did not welcome the outbreak of the First World War . Although the garden is not part of the public roads, it can be viewed on request at the “Pestalozzi-Fröbel-Haus” day-care center at Bundesallee 79-81 (closed on weekends). The former entrances in Stubenrauchstrasse and Goßlerstrasse have now been closed. The memorial stone for Georg Hermann is somewhat hidden on the fenced-in daycare playground. Georg Hermann had a loving and distant relationship with Friedenau. In his novel Der kleine Gast from 1925, he described Friedenau as an “idyllic garden district” and as an “Eldorado of clay dwarfs” ( location ).
Wagner quarter
The Wagner quarter, bounded by the area of Bundesallee , Varziner Straße , Handjerystraße and Sarrazinstraße , was named after works by Richard Wagner . The Sportpark Friedenau with a 500-meter-long oval cycle track was located on part of this terrain until 1904 . The original plan was to build the Schöneberg gasometer in this area, which met with great resistance from the population of the newly established country house colony. The gasometer was then set up on the nearby " Red Island " in Schöneberg . After the sports park was demolished, apartment houses were built on from 1906 ( location ).
Former Hamburger Platz
The former Hamburger Platz was located at the confluence of Stubenrauchstrasse and Görresstrasse (formerly: Wilhelmstrasse ) on the Südwestkorso (formerly: Schwarzwaldstrasse ) at the level of Offenbacher and Mainauer Strasse . It was the northeast of four squares that form the corner points of the Carstenn figure . The name of the square is derived from the Hanseatic city of Hamburg , the birthplace of the planner Johann Anton Wilhelm von Carstenn . At the time, the community council of Friedenau intended to create the Hamburger Platz, which was already planned in Carstenn's plan - a mirror image of today's Perelsplatz - as a community cemetery. The inauguration of the cemetery took place on May 20, 1881. The Hamburger Platz thus only comprised the section at the confluence of the former Black Forest , Mainauer and Wilhelmstraße in the Stubenrauchstraße (today about the intersection of Stubenrauchstraße, Südwestkorso and Görresstraße). The flood fountain designed by Paul Aichele , which later found its current location on Maybachplatz (today: Perelsplatz) , stood on the square, which was bypassed by the tram on both sides . The square had to be given up because of the expansion of the Friedenau cemetery to the south, but can still be recognized as such because of the opening of the streets at this point. It was often listed in address books and plans without a name and was kept in 1933 ( Lage ).
