The Märkische Allee is around 7.5 km the longest street in Berlin's Marzahn-Hellersdorf . It was built in 1975 as a new street and leads through the districts of Biesdorf and Marzahn . With its generous multi-lane expansion, it is an important north-south connection in the district that takes up all traffic to and from Marzahn.
course
It begins without intersections on the federal highways B 1 / B 5 ( Alt-Friedrichsfelde / Alt-Biesdorf) in Biesdorf, which runs on the same route, and runs in a north to north-easterly direction. Initially designed as a dam, it first crosses the tracks of the Ostbahn and then passes under the Allee der Kosmonauten and Landsberger Allee . After Bitterfelder Straße joins Märkische Allee, Wuhletalstraße and Neue Wuhle are crossed. Shortly before the Berlin city limits to Ahrensfelde , it ends in the union with Ahrensfelder Chaussee, which leads the vehicles through Ahrensfelde to the Berliner Ring .
The road is almost completely six lanes, in some sections four lanes, expanded and is separated by median. Sidewalks are continuous on the eastern side of the street and only partially available on the western side.
Märkische Allee has been a section of federal highway 158 to Angermünde since the 1990s .
The road runs in a slight curve east parallel to the Wriezener Bahn . In the middle area, this avenue has several parallel routes of the same name, which lead into the residential areas.
History and naming
The road, like the S-Bahn route to Ahrensfelde, was built in connection with the construction of the large Marzahn housing estate at the end of the 1970s. The former Dornburger Strasse and Roderjanstrasse merged with the traffic route first known as Heinrich-Rau-Strasse . Märkische Allee is the northern section of the Tangential Link Ost (TVO) planned in the late 1960s . An extension of the Märkische Allee to the south beyond the Biesdorfer Kreuz through the Wuhlheide to Spindlersfelder Straße was never realized and after 1990 the Senate of Berlin shelved it . Since September 2007, there has been another investigation into whether such a connection would be worthwhile after all.
The first name honored the GDR politician Heinrich Rau and was changed to a neutral name on the recommendation of the Berlin Senate after the political change . The avenue has been named after the Mark Brandenburg since January 31, 1992 .
Development
On the western side of the street, in the southern section, there is a larger industrial area, in which furniture and technology discounters in particular have set up their shops. This area was given its own name in 1997 as Märkische Spitze . The eastern side of the street in Biesdorf is partly built on with single and multi-family houses, but these are not directly on the street. From Bentschener Weg on the border with Marzahn, multi-storey residential buildings dominate.
Eastgate , one of Berlin's largest shopping centers, is located at the intersection of Märkische Allee and Marzahner Promenade .
There is a communal adventure playground on the corner of Dessauer Straße . There is also a larger fire station on Märkische Allee .
Bicycle traffic
With completion by autumn 2019, the construction of a protected cycle path on the section south of the Ostbahn crossing was planned.
