The Rankestraße is in the Berlin City West location, residential and commercial street. In the 1920s and early 1930s in particular, it was a place of modern art and culture with the surrounding streets. In World War II, many buildings in the street were destroyed.
Plant and New West
Rankestrasse was designated in the first Berlin development plan , the Hobrecht Plan of 1862, which outlined the planning basis of the entire “ New West ”, as street no. 33 of Section IV. It was laid out on March 16, 1888 and named after the historian Leopold von Ranke . The street is around 600 meters long and runs from the transition point between Kurfürstendamm and Tauentzienstrasse along Los-Angeles-Platz over Augsburger Strasse before Eislebener Strasse branches off to the east . After crossing Lietzenburger Straße , it flows into Joachimstaler Straße immediately behind Friedrich-Hollaender-Platz (which was called Rankeplatz until 2012 ) .
In administrative terms, it belongs to the districts of Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district .
Between 1896 and 1897, a fire station was built in Rankestrasse 10–12 by the architect Paul Bratring , which still serves this purpose today. In 1915 the " Haus Kaisereck " or "Kurfürsteneck" opened according to plans by Johann Emil Schaudt , the architect of Kadewe , in Rankestrasse 1.
The Roaring Twenties

At Rankestrasse 24, a memorial plaque commemorates the pioneer of psychoanalysis, Karl Abraham , and another plaque at number 35 commemorates Hermine Heusler-Edenhuizen , women's rights activist and first practicing gynecologist in Germany, who had her practice here from 1911 to 1937. Like many of the other streets around, Rankestrasse was primarily characterized by bohemian art in the 1920s and early 1930s .
At Rankestraße 4, Viktor Schwanneke's “Schwanneckes Weinstuben” was an expensive artist's bar for the city's already established and established artists. Prominent guests included Egon Erwin Kisch , Ernst Rowohlt , Kurt Pinthus , Alfred Kerr , Willi Kollo and Joachim Ringelnatz , but also Fritz Kortner , Werner Krauss , Carl Zuckmayer , Elisabeth Bergner , Ernst Deutsch , Käthe Dorsch , Rudolf Forster , Ödön von Horváth (who celebrated his first successes as the protégé of Schwannecke) and Friedrich Hollaender . Schwanneckes had existed since 1921 (actually under the name "Weinstuben Stephanie") and since Schwannecke was an actor himself (including Max Reinhardt's , also a frequent guest) and came from a family of actors, he quickly became a permanent address in the theater circles he was familiar with. Especially at premieres, the atmosphere there was determined by the theater critics who were present. Eugen Szatmari described it with the words “Schwannecke is being transformed into a courtroom. The kangaroo court of Berlin's stages starts work and judge without trial order and prosecutor [...] ".
At the end of Rankestrasse was the Russian eatery “Allaverdi”, which was aimed primarily at the large group of exiled Russians in Berlin. Well-known visitors were Vladimir Nabokov , Maxim Gorki , Boris Pasternak , Konstantin Stanislawski , Sergei Eisenstein , but also Valeska Gert .
In 1923 , Hans Winterstein built a box office kiosk directly in front of house number 1 , which is now a listed building.
Rankestrasse 34 was also the seat of the "Wegweiser Verlag" from the Volksverband der Bücherfreunde in the 1920s .
National Socialism and World War II
The Holocaust reached Rankestrasse in 1942. In that year Martin Salomonski , who had lived for many years at number 33 and one of the last rabbis in National Socialist Berlin, was deported with his children to the Theresienstadt ghetto . The entire family was killed between September 1944 and April 1945.
Two stumbling blocks remember the couple Siegfried and Alice Peltesohn, who were deported to Theresienstadt in 1943. Their fate is extraordinary: both were among the 1,200 Jewish prisoners who were allowed to leave Theresienstadt for Switzerland on February 5, 1945 through an agreement between Heinrich Himmler and Jean-Marie Musy and a payment of 1.25 million dollars and thus the Holocaust survived.
In World War II Rankestrasse severe damage experienced by bombing . At the end of the war, in particular the section at today's Los-Angeles-Platz on both sides and the southern part behind the confluence of Eislebener Strasse were completely destroyed.
Post-war and present
From 1951 to 1965 Rankestrasse 9 was the home of the Berlin cabaret “ Die Stachelschweine ”, after which the cabaret group “ The Ironing Board ” followed. In the 1980s there was a temporary offshoot of the well-known jazz club " Eierschale " on the corner of Kurfürstendamm .
Today the Rankestrasse is a comparatively inconspicuous side street of the Tauentzienstrasse, there mainly characterized by restorations and small businesses. To the south, however, it is much more of a residential street.
In 2005 and again in 2009, the Cafe King, located at 23 Rankestrasse at the corner of Eislebener Strasse, was the center of media attention because the operators, the Croatian Sapina brothers, in particular Ante Šapina and their surroundings, first played a leading role in the 2005 soccer betting scandal surrounding referee Robert Hoyzer were involved and several years later also in the soccer betting scandal in 2009 , in which over 200 soccer matches in European soccer were manipulated.
