The Münzstraße in Berlin in the suburb of Spandau extends between Rosa Luxemburg and New Schönhauserstraße. The course of the almost 200-meter-long street follows the moat of Fortress Berlin that used to exist here .
The first traffic route built around the city center of Berlin around 1750 after the fortifications were removed was therefore still called Contrescarpe . Since June 9, 1770, the street has been named after the royal mint building erected here in 1752 by the general mint director Johann Philipp Graumann . The western end of Münzstraße is the continuation of Weinmeisterstraße, the eastern end is continued behind Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße as Memhardstraße.
