The Mainzer Strasse in Berlin district of Friedrichshain ( Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg ), according to the city of Mainz was named. It is located between Boxhagener Straße and Frankfurter Allee in the immediate vicinity of the Samariterstraße underground station .
history
The street was already included in James Hobrecht's development plan from 1862; it was actually laid out in 1893–1894 as part of the Friedrichsberg colony in the then independent Lichtenberg . By the time the residential development was completed, 28 houses had been built, which formed connected building wings.
In World War II, most houses right across the street were not destroyed. Therefore, five houses (No. 15-19) are now listed as a rare example of the typical mix of tenement houses in the neo-renaissance style from the end of the 19th century, as well as stables, forges and other commercial buildings in the courtyard.
The street in the eastern part of the city caused a national sensation in 1990, when most of the houses were occupied from April 28th (numbers 2 to 11 continuously as well as 22 and 24) and held for seven months. Under the occupied houses Also today in was Kastanienallee based Tuntenhaus (number 4). The evacuation of the Mainzer Strasse took place on 14 November 1990, a large police operation with about 3,000 officials. The relatively violent action led to the end of the red-green government coalition under Walter Momper in Berlin.
All houses on the street were renovated in the following years. Several of the buildings that are still privately owned have been resold and their apartments are rented. The street now hardly differs from the surrounding streets.
Mainzer Street 19
The monument at Mainzer Strasse 19 / corner Scharnweberstrasse 33 is distinctive. It was built by the master carpenter and builder Anton Puzowski in 1896/1897 based on a design by Otto Roeder. The facade is reminiscent of the Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Baroque periods and has elaborately designed cornices and window roofing. The wrought-iron wicker balconies should also be emphasized .
