history

The street was named after the Berlin merchant Philipp Andreas Schilling (around 1650–1714), whose family owned land in the area. Until 1858 it was called Schillinggasse and was then elevated to a street, "because the street was widened and then embellished."

The Schillingstrasse underground station on today's U 5 line was opened on December 21, 1930. Since the rebuilding of Karl-Marx-Allee in the early 1960s, the south-eastern subway entrance has been incorporated into a corner building on Schillingstrasse.

In 1962 an outpatient clinic was opened in the street , in 1966 the 17-storey high-rise building with 240 one-room apartments at the confluence with Singerstraße was completed. In the same year came consumption - Market Hall and the club restaurant "dots". With the new development, pedestrian promenades and raised beds were created.

Until the early 1960s, Schillingstrasse ended at Blumenstrasse . This was abandoned and its last section up to Alexanderstrasse was included in Schillingstrasse. A footpath connects the southern Schillingstrasse with the S-Bahn station Jannowitzbrücke on the Stadtbahn .
