location

The Ringstrasse is in the west of the Lichterfelde district. The 2300 meter long street begins as a further course of the Carstennstraße . First it runs about 150 meters in a northerly direction. Then it bends to the northeast and runs about 1100 meters in the same direction. After the Ringstrasse crosses Drakestrasse , it becomes narrower after a junction. From there it runs about 1000 meters in an easterly direction.

history

In 1865, the entrepreneur Johann Anton Wilhelm von Carstenn acquired the Lichterfelde and Giesensdorf estates near Berlin , with the aim of creating a villa colony for the upper class there. As the predecessor of the type known today as the Carstenn figure , Carstenn had road and rail systems built on the fields belonging to Lichterfelde. The ring road was a planned ring around the newly founded villa colony. Until 1899, the ring road reached from the Lichterfelde park cemetery to the old village center of Lichterfelde, which is located on today's Hindenburgdamm . The section from the cemetery to Finckensteinallee was renamed Carstennstrasse in 1899. The Realschule zu Lichterfelde (today: Lilienthal-Gymnasium ) was built on Ringstrasse in 1896, the Lichterfelde district court and prison in 1906 and the Johanneskirche in 1914 .

Buildings

There are a variety of listed on the ring road complete systems and individual monuments . Most of the listed buildings date from the years 1890 to 1910. In addition to individual architectural monuments, there are also several complexes on the Ringstrasse, such as the ensemble around Karlsplatz, which includes more than 25 properties.
