On April 16, 1827, the magistrate of Berlin, with the approval of the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. the name after his youngest daughter. Princess Luise was born in 1808 as the daughter of the king and his wife Luise and on May 21, 1825 she married Friedrich , the prince of the Netherlands from the Nassau-Orange family.
The Charité site , which extends along the northern part of the street, already existed when the city was expanded, and it has now been connected to the new street network.
Buildings 22, 22a, 23, 24 and 24a were built by the Deutsche Lebensversicherungsanstalt in the mid-1850s and rented out to civil servants and middle-class families.
After the end of World War II , the new Berlin city administration renamed numerous streets and squares that honored previous rulers. But Luisenstrasse did not reveal at a glance that it also had a ruler in its name. It was not until 1971 that the name was changed after the GDR politician Hermann Matern, who died in the same year .
After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Berlin , the newly formed Senate decided in 1991 to rename the route back to 'Luisenstrasse'.
