The Nostitzstraße is a traffic route in the Berlin district of Kreuzberg . It runs roughly parallel to Mehringdamm in a north-south direction from Baruther Strasse to Arndtstrasse and crosses Gneisenaustrasse and Bergmannstrasse .
Nostitzstrasse is dominated by the five-storey perimeter block development in Bergmann- and Chamissokiez , with partially lavishly decorated Wilhelminian-era facades. It is one of the most attractive residential addresses for alternative, intellectual or student Berlin because of its war-spared and high-quality refurbished old buildings and its lively neighborhood structure . Today it comprises 60 house numbers that were assigned in the shape of a horseshoe.
Street history
According to Section II development plan , the traffic route was laid out as road 25 . On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Ligny and Waterloo , the street was renamed Nostitzstraße after the Prussian general of the cavalry and later Second City Commandant of Berlin, August Ludwig von Nostitz , during his lifetime on July 4, 1865. At that time, 52 parcels belonged to the street - which was first written Nostizstraße , without the second “t” - and extensive development began. On February 19, 1879, the street name was expanded to include the extension street 21b and the house number count was added. Walter Schönstedt reports on the social and political situation in the street in the early 1930s in his book Kämpfende Jugend . The lesbian activist Selli Engler lived at Nostitzstrasse 61 from 1917 to 1945 , the building has no longer been preserved.
Development
A whole group of tenement houses, built between 1870 and around 1900 and not or only slightly destroyed in the Second World War , is a listed building . In the area of Nostitzstraße 6/7 and Zossener Straße, a housing project for homeless men, maintained by the Evangelical Holy Cross Passion Church, is worth mentioning. It is part of the parish hall, where music events are also offered.
