The Ostseestraße is approximately 1.1 kilometer road in the Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg of Pankow . It is a main street in the northern part of the C- ring route as an extension of the Berlin city ring and Seestrasse . This ring road is a bit outside of the S-Bahn ring .
In accordance with the urban structure, the areas between the S-Bahn ring and the border with the Weissensee district are also considered for Ostseestrasse . This article on Ostseestrasse describes the Pankower planning space 12-PB Nord ( lifeworld-oriented space LOR 28 - Erich-Weinert-Strasse ).
history
The development of the Ostseestrasse took place in the course of the 20th century in several intermittent phases. There are mainly residential buildings on the street. This development progress along the street and in the neighboring urban areas are clearly shown on the map "Building age 1992/93" from the national map series. War damage to the area is added to the map of building damage 1945 . In addition, with “HistoMapBerlin” the official map series “City Map of Berlin” (from approx. 1950 “Map of Berlin”) starting with the Straubeplan from 1910 in individual annual editions up to the present in covering excerpts was combined. For Ostseestrasse these are Straubeplan IL and IM, as well as the city maps 4228, 4235, 4324 and 4331.
Installation and inauguration in the 19th century
Ostseestrasse
The Ostseestrasse has its origin in the expansion plans of James Hobrecht . In the plan named after him , it was referred to as Street 31a , Section XII. Here, as a street on Berlin territory, but still far from the central development, it is already part of a ring road around the Prussian capital. The plans were made from 1862 because of the installation of a Berlin sewer system . It was given its current name on January 23, 1913. The name given to the Baltic Sea followed the Nordic Quarter with street names for Scandinavian cities , which had already been built west of Prenzlauer Allee .
The streets of Grellstrasse and today's Erich-Weinert-Strasse are entered on the city maps from 1893 and 1897, the community of Neu-Weißensee is already populated up to the city limits of Berlin, today's streets only appear on the city map from 1906. The street has been since 1905 in the revision of the original plan (from 1862) with a central promenade. Between Prenzlauer Promenade and Greifswalder Straße, the streets north of the Ringbahn are recorded as plan streets, as they were later laid out. In 1906, the route is included in the city map with Ostseeplatz to Greifswalder Straße, further on Kniprodestraße - another square on the east side - and to Lichtenberg via Hohenschönhauser Straße to Landsberger Straße, but as unnamed. For 1921, Ostseestrasse has been added to the east as far as Greifswalder Strasse and continues as the laid-out road 135 to Kniprodestrasse, the further course as place CII and road 40a is only drawn as a route across Oderbruch- to Hohenschönhauser Strasse. In 1926, the extension to the east is drawn as a laid road to Oderbruchstraße, it crosses two unnamed streets as well as Kniprodestraße (which is laid through the Jewish cemetery ) and a Beeskower Straße with the course to Metzer Straße coming over the railway line. From the map from 1932, the further course of the road is only marked by the high-voltage line that leads on the median of Ostseestrasse from Wisbyer Strasse to Weißenseer Weg and on to Landsberger Chaussee.
The extended Ostseestraße in Plan XIII as street 40a (temporarily projected as street 135 according to the development plan ) was renamed Michelangelostraße in honor of the 400th anniversary of the death of the Italian sculptor, painter and architect Michelangelo on February 18, 1964 . Until the 1980s, Michelangelostraße only had the northern lane with the complication of changing lanes at the Greifswalder Straße intersection. Until 1960, the street (as Ostseestrasse) ended on Greifswalder Strasse.
Ostseeplatz
In the route from 1910 (Straubeplan I M), the place F II is planned along the plan road 31 A XII . Which got its shape with the inauguration in 1913. At the inauguration of the street, the square laid out in the southeast on a widening of the streets on both sides was named at the same time and received its planting, which mostly consisted of chestnuts . It is around 10,000 square meters and has a rectangular shape.
First World War and time of need
In 1913, the “ Baugesellschaft Bellevue ” planned the development to move eastwards. But between 1914 and 1925 further work stalled because of the First World War and the inflation of 1920/1923 . In 1920 with the formation of Greater Berlin , Ostseestrasse had become the inner city area. In the north, the municipality of Weißensee was incorporated, which had already grown up to Berlin with its founding quarter. From the Berlin side, the character of the outskirts of Berlin with fields and gardens was still preserved. To the west, the Nordic Quarter had been built along the ring (Bornholmer Strasse) since 1900, also outside the ring road. Construction investments in the still empty Ostseestrasse and the surrounding area came with the boom of the " Golden Twenties ".
Construction boom of the "Golden Twenties"
Housing construction had almost come to a standstill, particularly due to inflation. More socially acceptable residential buildings were necessary than in the inner Prenzlauer Berg . The areas along Ostseestrasse were still undeveloped and therefore ideally suited for new construction.
In the 1920s, Carmen-Sylva-Straße (since 1954: Erich-Weinert-Straße ) was planned as the central boulevard street of the new district, named after the pseudonym of the Queen of Romania , Elisabeth zu Wied . The building continuity was interrupted by the First World War and the subsequent inflation . To the north of Ostseestrasse there were still allotment gardens and arable land up to the founding district in Weißensee, which had only just been incorporated into Greater Berlin in 1920 . The area north of the Ringbahn and on Ostseestrasse was on the outskirts of Berlin, the area following to the north on Langhansstrasse was on the edge of Weissensee with commercial settlement. The reference to the adjoining residential area to the west was established with the street names Kugler- and Zelterstraße and the continuous Carmen-Sylva- and Grellstraße, which are located on Prenzlauer Allee .
From 1926 to 1930, the residential town of Carl Legien, planned by Bruno Taut , was built on the area south of Ostseestrasse up to the Ringbahn . GEHAG acted as the primary client . The residential area was named in 1933 (after the " seizure of power " by the National Socialists ) in reference to the fighting in the Flanders settlement during the First World War . Some of the newly laid roads south of Ostseestrasse were named after Belgian towns that had become famous from the battles of Flanders from 1914 to 1918. The new regime defamed the existing ideas and concepts of the Bauhaus with open architecture as degenerate . However, the spacious inner courtyards gave the residents an impression of closeness to nature. The spaciousness of the apartment sections and the furnishings set them apart from the tenements of the Wilhelminian era in the inner city district. In July 2008, this residential area designed by the architect Bruno Taut was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List together with five other Berlin settlements .
The street Ostseestrasse ended in 1928 from Greifswalder Strasse with the southern carriageway in Ostseeplatz, which already had the quadrangular shape with the planting on the central area. Allotment gardens began on the western edge of the Ostseeplatz - on Hosemannstrasse. The north side of the square and the later northern carriageway were used by allotments. From the Greifswalder / Ostseestrasse intersection, a (plan) route leads diagonally to Weissensee and Lehderstrasse. The later route is planned and recognizable from Prenzlauer Allee. However, there are still allotment gardens on the later road within the side paths. These allotment gardens gained importance for self-sufficiency in the war and in the immediate post-war years .
From 1929 to 1931, the architect duo Fedler & Kraffert built a residential complex between Mandelstrasse and Greifswalder Strasse on behalf of a trade union building association without transverse buildings and side wings. With the creation of spacious green courtyards, building ideas were implemented that overcame the tightly built backyard district of the pre-war period. The complex extends around a school built by Ludwig Hoffmann in 1915–1923 on Mandelstraße from Mandelstraße over the Baltic Sea and Greifswalder, with one interruption, to Schieritzstraße.

The 1930s
Between 1934 and 1937, the residential ensemble was built on the south side of Ostseeplatz between Mandelstrasse and Hosemannstrasse according to plans by Wilhelm Lindow. Erected in brick, it has a floor height that decreases towards the Ostseeplatz. Bordering Erich-Weinert-Strasse to the south, which Bruno Taut had planned as the main thoroughfare , the number of floors facing Ostseeplatz rises to six. With the inserted green inner area and the allotment gardens across Ostseeplatz, a pleasant residential complex was created on the edge of the inner city district.
In the 1936 address book, Ostseestrasse is listed on the left-hand side from Prenzlauer Allee only with construction sites, and on the right-hand side also construction sites up to Hosemannstrasse, Ostseeplatz and Mandelstrasse. Then follow to Greifswalder Straße 116-124, which is owned by the Volksfürsorge Stadt Berlin (town house in Klosterstraße). No owner is named for house 126 with 14 tenants.
At the southeast corner of Ostseestrasse to Prenzlauer Allee is a meadow area that has the name Erich-Weinert-Park. It is an undeveloped area of around 9,000 square meters. In addition to the Erich Weinert bust, there are several art objects here. After 1940 a barrack camp for French prisoners of war was set up on this area. Here at Ostseestrasse 12 in NO 55 there was a camp for 350 men in 1942; occupied by 300 people, it was finished in 1943. There were three team barracks and a smaller one for the guards. The facility belonged to the manufacturing equipment building GmbH (formerly: Schwartzkopf), which in 1944 reported damage of 350,000 marks to the war damage office due to enemy action on May 19, 1955. The expert architect then estimated the damage at 210,000 marks.
In the 1943 address book, Ostseeplatz, bounded by Ostseestrasse between Hosemannstrasse and Mandelstrasse, is listed; its north side is undeveloped. There were allotment gardens here , and the area, like the one built, belonged to the south of the Platz of the Catholic People's Aid. After the fall of the Wall, these former ownership structures led to ownership irritations for the residential buildings built (here) in the 1950s due to membership of the MfS housing administration and the transition to the WIP, the state's own housing association in the district. In 1943 Ostseestrasse is on the left between Prenzlauer Allee and across Roelckestrasse with construction sites, but between Gubitzstrasse (1941 Goethestrasse is indicated) and Roelckestrasse with new buildings. On the right-hand side (from Flandernstrasse , since 1952: Sältstrasse) there are (straight) eight-party residential buildings of the Gemeinnützige Siedlungs- und Wohnungsbaugesellschaft mbH on plots 28–58. Construction sites are again indicated between Gubitzstrasse and Hosemannstrasse. Under construction sites are meant parceled land that has been assigned to owners but is undeveloped (as of 2014: no construction is taking place yet). The residential buildings to the east of Hosemannstrasse, each with eight tenants, number 84-106 (even), belong to the Katholische Volkshilfe Gemeinnützige Versicherungs A. G. Property Management. House 84 is connected to Hosemannstraße 21 and house 106 to Mandelstraße 9, the Ostseeplatz is listed as a cross street . Between Mandel- and Greifswalder Strasse, 108–114 owners, Dr. J. Seifert from Frohnau and G.Kley from Pankow as administrator. Followed by the residential buildings 116–126, each with nine to twelve tenants, whose owners are the non-profit settlement and housing construction companies. Bln. GmbH (SO 36, Kottbusser Straße 1) is. The city map from 1946 shows Ostseestrasse between Prenzlauer Allee and Greifswalder Strasse, across which allotment gardens follow. To the north of Ostseeplatz there is road 31 , east of Mandelstraße as Zillebekestraße (since 1952 Cohnstraße) to Greifswalder Straße. South of Ostseeplatz / -straße to Carmen-Sylva-Straße (since 1954 Erich-Weinert-Straße) is Döblinweg (the remaining eastern section of Kuglerstraße, since 1952 Schieritzstraße) between Hosemannstraße and Greifswalder Straße.
Post War and Socialist Classicism
The advance of the Red Army in April 1945 took place via Hosemannstrasse from Karow and Buch. According to statements made by residents at the time, there was an air raid shelter on the western edge of the Ostseeplatz , which was fought as the advance was made. There was also a bunker on the north side of the street east of Ostseeplatz, which remained unused until commercial buildings were built in the 1990s.
The character of the street was influenced in the post-war years by belonging to the East Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg and thus to the Soviet sector of Berlin. The effects of the architectural style of this epoch show the historical sequence of the architectural styles.
post war period
Some pre-war houses in Goethestrasse were destroyed by accidental bomb hits and a Red Army armored wedge in May 1945. This advance pushed south along Roelckestrasse and met the resistance of the Volkssturm, in particular defensive fire from the air raid shelter on the (western) corner of Ostseeplatz.
Because of the massive destruction of buildings in the inner areas of Berlin, building land was urgently needed after the Second World War . The town planners designated the allotment gardens north of Ostseestrasse as well as the area between Mandelstrasse and Goethestrasse to the north as far as the Weißensee industrial area in Lehderstrasse. The ruins in Goethestrasse were cleared of rubble , thus creating freedom to build.
housing
Between 1950 and 1955, three- to five-storey residential buildings with one to four-room apartments were built on the site, which were still individually designed by the architect. They were buildings in traditional brick construction - using the "one-lime one-stone method". With the buildings in Paul-Grasse-Straße, this quarter extends to the north as far as the suburb of Weißensee. In the early 1950s as a building material came abgeputzte brick ruins of the city center to use, also suitable material for installations of water / waste water supply from the rubble. Construction on Ostseestrasse began before the better-known Stalinallee (since the de-Stalinization in 1961, Karl-Marx-Allee). These new building blocks north of Ostseestrasse were completed in 1955.
The construction was carried out under the direction of Hermann Henselmann in the architectural style of socialist classicism (colloquially " sugar baker's style "), a deliberate, politically motivated monumental architecture. The living comfort of the new era, based on the situation in the 1920s, was significant. Wide staircases, bathrooms with insulated floors and gimmicks such as laundry rolls, garbage chutes, washrooms in the basement brought improvements in the quality of living, while clear lines in the architecture corresponded to the availability of material and the spirit of the times.
On the one hand, ideas from Bruno Taut were taken up on how they were implemented in the residential complex opposite. On the other hand, the ideological orientation began in the building industry, as was used on Stalinallee. In contrast to the “capitalist building theses” in the not yet completely divided city, the goal was “comfort apartments for workers that were previously only accessible to the bourgeoisie”. There was an urgent need for housing in all districts of Berlin. Since the state organs of the GDR had to be strengthened after the uprising of June 17, 1953 in East Berlin , the influx of "reliable" citizens took place. The newly built block directly on Ostseeplatz was therefore claimed by the housing management of the MfS and used until 1990.
Reparations and settlement of industry
Until 1945 there were no industrial or commercial enterprises on the road. The 110 kV overhead line "Golpa-Berlin", which had existed since the 1930s, was dismantled and transported away at the end of the 1950s, which resulted in further construction freedom. Via this line from the central German area ( Zschornewitz power plant ) of the Golpa to the Moabit power plant (located in West Berlin in the 1950s ), a network was created to supply the (Reich) capital in addition to the Berlin power plants that should secure industries.
In 1959, a concrete plant was built on Ostseestrasse on Prenzlauer Promenade. It was the first of its kind in East Berlin and supplied concrete slabs for industrial type construction . Previously, large blocks of bricks had been used, which were built centrally from normal, mostly cleared bricks and then used on the construction site with a crane. This technology increased the pace of construction in order to replace the war losses in the housing stock conventionally but quickly. After the nearby construction sites could no longer be supplied from this concrete plant, it was demolished and a trading and supply company for pipelines and other construction services was set up on this area.
In the 1960s, the first type buildings were erected with the concrete blocks from the Ostseestrasse concrete plant . Residential houses of the type IW57 were built up to the border with what was then the Weissensee district. These buildings are located north of Ostseestrasse on Cohnstrasse, which, however, remained a dead end west of Greifswalder Strasse. The houses south of Erich-Weinert-Strasse opposite the ballet school are of the same type.
Housing program of the 1970s
The gap to the north of the ballet school between Hosemannstrasse and Gubitzstrasse, formerly KGA Ostsee , was made with five-storey Q3A residential buildings . This type was a further development of the panel type P2 . This was the beginning of the industrial construction for residential buildings on this street. To the west of Ostseeplatz, these buildings now stand as contemporary witnesses of the large-panel construction.
Housing construction with the newly developed type buildings was cheaper than the previous large block construction. However, in contrast to the previous generation, the Q3A type already had a smaller living space on average, internal bathrooms with toilets as wet rooms, and a kitchen area. The need for living space forced the socialist economy to use available resources more sparingly.
The Ostseestrasse concrete plant also supplied type buildings on the north side of Michelangelostrasse as an extension of Ostseestrasse. Residential buildings of the newly developed type QP64 were built here. The allotment gardens were initially preserved south of Ostseestrasse as far as Einsteinstrasse. The same residential buildings were built along Prenzlauer Allee towards the city west of the Taut settlement. The polyclinic in Prenzlauer Allee (Medical Center Greifswalder Straße 122) is a surviving representative of the intended ensemble formation . Until then, undeveloped areas on the outskirts of the residential town of Carl Legien were used for this medical facility. The existing infrastructure in Prenzlauer Berg-Nord prevented the sadness of a “dormitory city”, even when the next construction phase followed with the housing construction program. Other buildings of the same type are in the vicinity, for example on Wisbyer Straße . All of these buildings were on the outskirts of Prenzlauer Berg, as only gaps were possible in the interior of the district.
Another medical center was built northeast of the intersection behind the residential buildings. The housing shortage that still existed in 1970 led to further construction activities on the eastern side of Greifswalder Straße, here two residential buildings of the type QBP55 were built, each with four entrances on ten floors. Behind it, another polyclinic was built for medical care in the area, similar to the one 1.5 kilometers away on Prenzlauer Allee.
Private nightclub in the 1980s
The only privately operated discotheque existed in GDR times in Roelckestrasse near Ostseestrasse, in the commercial buildings south of the Weißensee founding district. This "private-sector institution in the real existing German socialism" was housed in an empty commercial building. Streustraße was included in the premises of this company. There was a need for such a cultural institution and it was well received. Visiting officials and young diplomats made it a playground for the intelligence services to initiate contacts through the MfS .
With the fall of the Wall , there was a drop in sales for the Harmonie Bar due to the urban peripheral location and a different economy oriented towards the planned economy , but not the end of the facility.
Post-turnaround time
Change in traffic flows to the east-west tangent and the consequences
Until 1990, Ostseestrasse was the main thoroughfare for traffic between Pankow and the north-eastern districts. In the mid-1970s, Prenzlauer Allee was connected to the Berlin motorway ring via the north feeder road . This brought only a slight increase in traffic density through the cross traffic to Lichtenberg . With the fall of the Berlin Wall , Ostseestrasse became part of the ring road again.
On the night of the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, and for a long time afterwards, the queue of cars of East Berliners pushing westward reached in the backwater from the Bornholmer Strasse border crossing over the four kilometers distant end of Ostseestrasse.
The east-west traffic, which has increased sharply since then, leads to a lot of street noise. The street is entered as “noisy” in the noise register and downgraded in the rent index. The green interiors of the WP70 blocks east of Greifswalder Straße offer a quieter city location. Michelangelostraße leads all of the ring traffic to the east via Storkower Straße. Due to the road location, it is quieter here, according to the noise register. Due to the failure of the closure of the ring north of the Oderbruchkippe in 1987 , the cross traffic on this route gives way to the outbound traffic through the district center of Weißensee.
Ostseestrasse, which was last provided with a new asphalt pavement on the eastern section up to Roelckestrasse in 1980, was at the same time defused in the angular street layout in the area of Ostseeplatz and the lawn edges on the square itself changed. The increased traffic volume since 1990 made an urgent complete renovation of this ring road necessary. The junction Ostseestraße / Greifswalder Straße experienced an improved street layout in 1976 with new buildings through a second lane to Kniprodestraße. Around 2000 this intersection received a new asphalt surface in connection with the renewal of the tram route to Weißensee. In 2008 the junction Ostseestrasse / Prenzlauer Allee was redesigned to ease the increasing traffic to and from the autobahn. Further renovation projects that have been tackled will have to be suspended in the 2010s due to a lack of funding. Only the Wisbyer Straße adjoining to the west, which partly still had pavement as a road surface, was renovated between 2007 and 2009 including the substructure.
In 2009, the further east ring expansion of the federal motorway 100 between Neukölln and Lichtenberger Frankfurter Allee was in the preparatory construction phase. The redesign of the route between Seestrasse , via Ostseestrasse, past the Volkspark to Frankfurter Allee to a defined motorway remains under discussion. The central promenades are bordered on both sides by two- to three-lane lanes and offer a street width of 50 meters.
The central promenade planned by Hobrecht over 100 years ago was intended to enhance the park character of a boulevard . Street noise and space for stationary traffic created parking areas with plants through bushes and hedges and paved storage areas for building materials. Between Ostseeplatz and Greifswalder Straße there are still two rows of plane trees and the Ostseeplatz has a population of chestnut trees that is now 50 years old. There are no recreational or even promenade paths.
Closure of the remaining vacant lots
In the 1990s, the remaining building areas were used for the post-reunification building boom. Residential houses on the corner of Sältstrasse completed the southern development on Prenzlauer Allee and complemented the changes in the residential style of the 20th century. Adjacent to Prenzlauer Allee, there was a recreational area and green area named Erich-Weinert-Park.
From 2000 to 2002, a commercial building with a supermarket, hardware store and office space was built on the north side of the street between Mandelstrasse and Greifswalder Strasse. The industrial company established in the 1980s to produce carburetors for the entire RGW was taken over by a filter and engine component manufacturer from Münster in Westphalia after the fall of the Berlin Wall and is still operated as a branch. Most of the existing buildings were dismantled in 2000. According to the zoning plan 2004, a mixed building area M2 remained. During the new construction of the commercial building, an underground bunker from the war period was demolished, which had been built over in 1982 during the previous industrial building project.
Other areas along the street are marked by the zoning plan for residential areas as W2, with a floor area of GFZ up to 1.5. Insofar as a change restricts the development or, depending on the perspective, the existing structure is protected - also by the monument status.
In 2000, the commercial area of 320 hectares at the western end of the street between Prenzlauer Promenade and Goethestrasse, including the allotment garden, was designated for residential development by the Prenzlauer Berg district office. Until then, the last shutdown site of PGH Pipeline Construction was located here . Changes in the funding guidelines in 2000 reduced the "willingness to use" investors for this area. After 100 years of street history, this last building reserve has been occupied by buildings by trading companies since 1913, so changes of use are still possible.
Finally, in 2013 there was still a vacant lot. On the south side of Ostseeplatz there was a green area next to residential house 100 with access to the inner courtyard of the residential development. A new three-story residential building was built on the open space in 2013/2014. This new building 98 on a previously undeveloped area symmetrically complements the house 92/94 already existing at number 90 with two entrances.
Signpost and street naming
Parallel and cross streets
For orientation of the above, the intersecting and branching streets are listed in the course of the Ostseestrasse from west to east.
- On Bornholmer Strasse , the ring runs from Seestrasse .
- Wisbyer Straße follows from the intersection of Schönhauser Allee
- Starting with Prenzlauer Allee (S) / Prenzlauer Promenade (N) is the name of the street of the Ring
- Ostseestrasse. This is crossed by
- Sultstrasse (to the south),
- Goethestrasse (to the north),
- Gubitzstrasse ,
- Hosemannstrasse ,
- Almond Street
- Greifswalder Straße on the B2 crosses the route and the ring continues with the
- Michelangelostrasse away. The ring currently ends with the crossing
- Kniprodestrasse , a continuation of the ring would be possible on Plantrasse through the allotment gardens 'Neues Heim', 'Grönland' and 'Am Volkspark Prenzlauer Berg' south of the Jewish cemetery and north of Volkspark Prenzlauer Berg .
The keeping of the route clear through the allotment areas is not specified. A " superordinate main road " is drawn in the land use plan (FNP status: May 2014) in the continuation of Ostsee- / Michelangelostraße on the (BSR) commercial area to the east as an "area with a commercial character (waste, sewage)", i.e. on the (KGA-) main route north of the KGA 'Neues Heim'. From the end of this the route goes diagonally to the edge of the Jewish cemetery and in the Lichtenberg district around the KGA 'Langes Höhe' further to Weißenseer Weg opposite the "public needs area with a high proportion of green (sport, university) [and] green area (sport)" ( Sportforum Hohenschönhausen ). The allotment gardens were protected as existing, so that, for the foreseeable future, the southern traffic flow around Weißensee will give way to the Prenzlauer Berg park in addition to Grellstraße and the Baltic Sea to Michelangelostraße to Landsberger Allee via Kniprodestraße .
Land use plan and statistical area
The subway planning (F III ) on Greifswalder Strasse and the school location ( OSZ ) on Mandelstrasse are specified in the FNP . A special area ( world cultural heritage ) with Ostseestrasse (road area included) between Sältstrasse and Hosemannstrasse is the Carl-Legien settlement . This area extends south of Erich-Weinert-Straße to Prenzlauer Allee, which is a school and sports location near Hosemannstraße ( ballet school ). Ostseestrasse is surrounded by residential building space ( GFZ up to 1.5), with the exception of the north side between Mandelstrasse and Greifswalder Strasse as a mixed building area (M2).

The two streets adjoining to the west belong to the Nordic Quarter with street names of Scandinavian cities.
It should be noted the origin of the already mentioned Zillebekestrasse in the course of the Cohnstrasse . Zillebeke is a place in West Flanders that was on the Western Front in the battle area of the Battle of Ypres during the First World War . The Carmen Sylva Street named after the pseudonym of the Romanian Queen in 1954 in Erich-Weinert-Straße named. The proposed on the 1946er Map Name of Schieritz road as Döblinweg - well after the trade unionists Emil Doblin - was for Zeebrüggestraße but not taken. The Döblinweg is the remaining eastern section of the Kuglerstraße, which is planned throughout. Zeebrugge is a Belgian location that played a role in the Battle of Flanders in World War I.

Since the end of 1945 there have been proposals for renaming the name of the Flanders settlement, but not all of them were confirmed in 1952.

Monument status
- Buildings that represent the entire 20th century stand side by side in Ostseestrasse. For the area of Ostseestrasse, including the area adjoining to the south up to the S-Bahn-Ring (Grellstrasse), BVV Pankow passed a conservation ordinance on September 17, 2003 in accordance with Section 172 Paragraph 1, Clause 1 No. 1 of the Building Code : Preservation of the urban character of the Ostseestraße / Grellstraße area .
- The residential complex in the north of the street from the 1950s is listed as an architectural monument in Berlin's list of monuments. This includes the houses on Paul-Grasse-Straße up to the border with the Weissensee district. The overall impression of the exterior is protected. These buildings were built under the direction of the city architect Hermann Henselmann, who was also the construction manager for Stalinallee . The green exterior facade of the houses in Ostseestrasse 20 to 59, which was built around 2000, was a violation of this monument status. During the renovation in Paul-Grasse-Straße, plaster tones in beige were chosen for the exterior facades . The renovation of the houses on the north side of Ostseeplatz was delayed by Gewobag , as private previous owners had been raising claims for repayment on the land since 2005 . The property rights had been passed over when the residential buildings were built in the early 1950s. In 2014, the renovation was finally carried out in accordance with the listed buildings. It was carried out. The stove heating, which was not included in the monument status, was replaced.
- Another entry in this list applies to the above-mentioned residential complex by Fedler & Kraffert with the school by Hoffmann.
Art in the street space
- A memorial stone is located in the middle of the buildings from the 1930s south of the Ostseeplatz in the green area. The boulder was found in 1935 when excavating the construction pits for the residential buildings. In 1985, on the 40th anniversary of the liberation, a bronze relief was put on it and it was rededicated in memory of the advance of the Red Army . The move into Berlin took place at the end of April 1945 coming from the northeast via Heinersdorf . A flak position was taken on the west side of the Ostseeplatz, which last offered resistance against ground troops. On the bronze plate by Günter Schütz there is a relief of a Red Army soldier, a flower tendril and the inscriptions "1941" and "1945", donated by the district committee of anti-fascist resistance fighters . After the replicas were added to the south side of the square around 2015, the memorial stone was given its new location on the eastern roundabout of the square. The place where the entrance to the military facility was.
- Under the old chestnut trees from 1913 and some newly planted plane trees in the middle of the Ostseeplatz, Anna Franziska Schwarzbach 's female figure Kneeling Lady with Shell (also called Naked from Ostseeplatz ) has been standing since 1990 . The approximately 1.5 meter high bronze statue takes the ideal image of a female nude from the beginning of the 20th century and creates a connection to the time when the Ostseeplatz was built before the First World War . A step-shaped plinth forms an art space that underlines the effect of the traffic flowing past in the middle of a green oasis.
- In Erich-Weinert-Park , corner of Prenzlauer Allee , there is another sculpture by A. F. Schwarzenbach. The portrait bust of Erich Weinert was erected in the early 1980s and repaired and supplemented in the mid-1990s. The writer's shoulder sculpture stands on a 1.5 meter high base and offers sprayers and advertising sign stickers the opportunity to "creatively" redesign it.
- The life-size bronze sculpture Lesender Knabe by Hans-Peter Goettsche from 1968 lies on the lawn of Erich Weinert Park . The young man has a book in his hand and feels at home in all seasons, while park visitors are only in the warm Join him on the meadow at the season.
- Two sculptures are remarkable on the corner houses south of Ostseeplatz (built in 1935) at upper floor level. Facing Hosemannstrasse is a young man with a square face and a ball in his left hand. With his right hand he leans on a suggested railing. A girl is standing on Mandelstrasse with a book under her left arm. They were created around 1935 using the typical clinker ceramic of that time.
- On the lawn in front of the Baltic Sea at the corner of Gubitzstrasse - hidden within a group of bushes - there is a bronze statue of a standing couple by Sabina Grzimek. The sculptural group of a 1.2 meter tall man next to a slightly smaller woman on a 40 cm high plinth was set up in 1967/1968. The couple may have a connection to the State Ballet School on Erich-Weinert-Straße, which is adjacent to Gubitzstraße.
- Behind house 112 you can find the sculpture Tangled in polished metal by Gabor Török from 1999.
Trivia
The naming of roads to the Baltic Sea is common in the coastal area of the body of water. There is the Ostseestrasse, in Anklam, which was relieved by a western bypass of the B 110 / B 109 . Another example is the Hansische Ostseestrasse , which established the so-called streets in Baltic cities.
