The Otto-Braun-Strasse in Berlin is one of the main roads around the Alexanderplatz and part of the Bundesstraße 2 . As an extension of the street Gruner- and Alexanderstraße , it runs north of the intersection with Mollstraße on the border between the districts of Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain in a northeast direction. At the intersection with the two streets Prenzlauer Berg / Am Friedrichshain it turns into Greifswalder Straße .
Course and location in the urban space
The street begins on the eastern edge of Alexanderplatz on Alexanderstraße / Karl-Marx-Allee , crosses Mollstraße and, not far from Volkspark Friedrichshain, merges into Greifswalder Straße at the site of the former royal gate of the excise wall. The course of Grunerstraße, Alexanderstraße, Otto-Braun-Straße and Greifswalder Straße forms one of the radial arterial roads of the historical center of Berlin .
Including the intersection of Mollstrasse, Otto-Braun-Strasse in the Mitte district is 390 meters long, plus 420 meters north of Mollstrasse . The information in the street directory of 740 meters only reflects the actual length of the lane without the intersection area. The route width including the median between the sidewalks is 42 meters south of Mollstrasse and 47 meters north. Each direction of travel is divided into three lanes.
The street bears the number 5749 in the Berlin street directory. It belongs to StEP class I ( road development plan , supraregional), the street name is "B2" and accordingly it belongs to OKSTRA class B (federal highway). The length of the street is given as 280 m for one-way lanes (Wadzeckstraße to Alexanderstraße / Karl-Marx-Allee) and 377 m (Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg / Friedrichshain).
Otto-Braun-Straße is located in three districts that belong to three different districts . According to the urban planning division into living environment-oriented spaces , it belongs to the following planning spaces :
- District Mitte (01): House numbers 65–69, 70–72 in postcode 10178: 01 01 13 03: District region 13 Alexanderplatz, planning room 3 Alexanderplatzviertel
- Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district (02): House number 78–90 (even) in postcode 10249: 02 04 05 01: District region 5 Karl-Marx-Allee Nord, planning area 1 Barnimkiez
- District Pankow (03): House number 77-87 (odd) in postcode 10405: 03 07 16 38: District region 16 Prenzlauer Berg Süd, planning area 38 Winsstrasse
The war damage in World War II had badly affected the development of what was then Neue Königsstrasse. This gave the opportunity to restructure for a new building.
In the Mitte district, on the west side of the street, in the immediate vicinity of Alexanderplatz, is the Haus des Reisens , which was inaugurated in 1971 at Alexanderstraße 7 (until June 2006: Alexanderplatz 5). From 1945 to 1990 the East Berlin Police Headquarters was at number 27/37 . In the square Otto-Braun-Strasse / Wadzeckstrasse / Bernhard-Weiß-Strasse, at Theanolte-Bähnisch-Strasse 2, there is a new four-star hotel belonging to the Holiday Inn chain . To the north of this, a building with apartments was built in 2012 on a former parking lot in the Keibelstrasse / Wadzeckstrasse area.
On the eastern side of the street is the House of Statistics, built between 1968 and 1970 (No. 70/72). The Mercure Hotel Alexanderplatz is at the intersection with Mollstrasse (Mollstrasse 4).
At the intersection of Mollstrasse, the border between the districts of Pankow (Prenzlauer Berg district) and Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg (Friedrichshain district) runs diagonally across the road from the western corner on Mollstrasse to the northeast corner in the area of the roadway to the southern edge of the former square at Königstor . The properties on the west side (77–87 odd) are in Prenzlauer Berg, those on the east side (78–90 even) in Friedrichshain. Ten-story apartment blocks are located on both sides of the street: on the west side No. 77/79, 81/83, 85/87, on the east side 82/84, 86/88.
The 21-storey high-rise on the west side is listed as Prenzlauer Berg 18. On the east side there is the Königstadt-Carrée (Otto-Braun-Straße 78/80, Mollstraße 30/32) an architecturally striking building at the entrance to the Königstadt location. In addition to an Ibis hotel , other service providers are also located there. This is followed by the four-star Leonardo Royal Hotel, which was converted from a farm building in 2008/2009, on the property at Otto-Braun-Strasse 90 (Georgenkirchstrasse 2), completing the front of modern buildings. On the same side, in front of the intersection with the streets Prenzlauer Berg / Am Friedrichshain (formerly: Königstor ), on the edge of the former Königsplatz is the St. Bartholomäus Church . In the small park next to the church there is a memorial to Alexander Freiherr von Blomberg , who was fatally wounded in a battle there during the wars of liberation .
The plot numbering between the numbers 1 and 64 is missing, with the development change to the northeast of Alexanderplatz and through the broad Mollstrasse, the previous cadastral areas were canceled. The numbering of the Neue Königstrasse was done in horseshoe numbering . In the address book of 1943, the numbers 1-45 were shown on the west side and 46-94 on the east.
history
The street has been an important connection from Alexanderplatz to the north since the Middle Ages and was initially called Rennweg (also: Rönnweg; Rönne is a network for catching birds of prey in the hunter's language ). The street led from the Georgentor (demolished in the 18th century) in the direction of Bernau . In the 17th century the street was named Bernauische Straße . Before 1784 the street was also entered on maps as Bernauer Straße . When King Friedrich Wilhelm III. In 1809, after the Napoleonic occupation, it moved back into the royal seat, the Bernauer Tor was renamed Königstor and the street was renamed Neue Königstraße on April 10, 1810 . It was the main artery of the royal city .
During the Second World War , the buildings in the Königstadt were so badly destroyed that the structural remains were removed, so that none of the houses on the former Neue Königstrasse exist anymore. During the GDR era, row buildings were built alongside the street , the facades of which were energetically renovated after German reunification .
After the Second World War, the traffic route was initially still called Neue Königstrasse , although naming with reference to the ruler was changed elsewhere in the early 1950s. The renaming took place with the total renovation of Alexanderplatz. Since 1966, her name was Hans-Beimler Street , named after the Reichstag of the KPD and fighters in the Spanish Civil War Hans Beimler . The course of the street was swiveled with the developments in the years 1967 to 1972 in its southern part in such a way that it only touches Alexanderplatz. In a road tunnel , the crossing traffic was temporarily driven under, but parts of the road remained to turn. Part of the former road course before today's Senate Department for Education, Youth and Family (Bernhard and white street 6), on which the route of the tram runs, is still understandable and in 2011 after the persecuted by the Nazis remains of the Berlin Police Vice President White Bernhard named .
The new name in Otto-Braun-Straße took place on November 1, 1995. Otto Braun was Prime Minister of the Free State of Prussia between 1920 and 1932 with only a brief interruption during the Weimar Republic .
traffic
On the southeast side of Alexanderplatz, a car tunnel leads traffic in four lanes under the Alexanderstraße / Karl-Marx-Allee. As a result, Otto-Braun-Strasse begins above ground on Alexanderstrasse, while it continues on Grunerstrasse in the tunnel .
The "Mollknoten", as the intersection of Moll- and Otto-Braun-Strasse is also called, is one of the busiest points in the Berlin tram network. The M4 tram runs between Wadzeckstraße and Königstor; Lines M5 and M6 also run between Wadzeckstrasse and Mollstrasse. Until 1966 trams ran along the entire length of what was then Neue Königstrasse.
