The Pflugstrasse in the Oranienburger Vorstadt in the Berlin district of Mitte is a north-eastern parallel street to Chausseestrasse . It connects Schwartzkopffstrasse with Wöhlertstrasse . The street, which was laid out in 1888, was named on March 12, 1889 after the Berlin entrepreneur Friedrich Adolf Pflug , who had been running his engineering company for railway wagons on Chausseestrasse since 1839 . Until 2013 the Pflugstrasse with Schwartzkopffstrasse and Wöhlertstrasse formed the turning loop of several tram lines.

Between the houses is the access to the north at the Liesenstraße nearby cemeteries of Hedwig, the cathedral and the French community ; they are garden monuments . During the GDR era, Pflugstrasse 10 was also the address of the cemetery caretaker's house for these three cemeteries, the parts of which belonged to the Mitte district lay on the wall strip and could not be entered from Liesenstrasse, which belongs to West Berlin .

House number 12 is the rector's building of the former 111th and 186th community dual school. It was built in 1889/1890 according to plans by Hermann Blankenstein . In the monument database in Berlin, “the typified construction in the late classicist forms customary for Blankenstein ” is described: “The simple and clearly structured three-storey building with a square floor plan is determined by the regular row of the segmented arched windows, which are integrated into the horizontal, colored brick strips separate basement, the simple brick ornament bands under the main cornice and cornice as well as a protruding cornice as the building closure. "

The school buildings were destroyed in the Second World War and then demolished . The areas remained undeveloped and were used as a playground. The Rector's House was a day-care center until 2004. The Jenny de la Torre Castro Foundation has been running a health center for the homeless here since 2006 .
