The Schwartzkopffstraße is a residential street in the Oranienburger suburb in Berlin district of Mitte . It is an eastern cross street to Chausseestrasse .
Surname
The street was named in 1889 after the entrepreneur Louis Schwartzkopff (1825-1892) who ran the Berliner Maschinenbau AG from 1851 to 1867 in the neighboring Chausseestrasse . Unlike the namesake of the neighboring Pflugstrasse and Wöhlertstrasse , also heavy industrialists, Schwartzkopff was still alive at the time of the name.
History, course and traffic structures
Originally, on March 12, 1889, only the street section from Chausseestraße to Pflugstraße and what was then Heringsdorfer Straße was named. The section from this intersection to the area of the Szczecin train station was included on February 12, 1898. A short, still recognizable section of Heringsdorfer Straße now belongs to Schwartzkopffstraße and serves as access to house number 7 with its side entrance as well as a passage to the rear part of the property at Chausseestraße 40.
At the end of Schwartzkopffstrasse was the entrance to the Stettiner Tunnel , opened in 1896 , a pedestrian tunnel to Gartenstrasse in the Gesundbrunnen district . It is no longer accessible. In order to create a connection to Caroline-Michaelis-Straße, which opened in 2005, Schwartzkopffstraße was extended by a further 23 meters to the east. The passage is closed for vehicles to calm the traffic.
Until 2013, Schwartzkopffstrasse formed the turning loop of several tram lines with Pflugstrasse and Wöhlertstrasse . The Schwartzkopffstraße underground station on the U6 line is on Chausseestraße .

building
As early as 1891 the 16 pieces of land up to Pflugstrasse were built on or under construction. With the extension from 1898 four more properties with the house numbers 8-11 were added. Therefore it was necessary to renumber houses 8–16 to 12–20.
During the Second World War, about a third of the buildings with house numbers 1, 11-14 and 20 and the adjacent Pflugstrasse 1 were destroyed and later replaced with new buildings except for number 11.
The Lithuanian poet August Paulukat resided in No. 1, who published his wartime lyric volume Iron Poetry in his Vaya publishing house, which was also located there . The house was destroyed in World War II. During the GDR era, there was a low-rise building here that was used by industrial companies. In 2015/16 the Sapphire house by architect Daniel Libeskind was built with a facade that is based on the structure of a precious stone. A penthouse on the top floor, one of the most luxurious apartments in Berlin, was offered for sale in 2019 for four million euros.
In No. 2 lived the student Otto Tauschwitz, who had already obtained a diploma for the interpreting career in Morocco at the seminar for oriental studies when he fell in France in 1916 . Tauschwitz was a student of the Arabist Georg Kampffmeyer , who published the obituary in the journal Die Welt des Islams .
The writer Karl Döring lived in No. 4 , who between 1896 and 1902 published sketches, short stories and novels about the Berlin metropolitan area.
The square in front of the Szczecin Tunnel was the scene of fights between two rival youth groups in the 1920s, whose members lived at the respective exits of the tunnel.
The property of house no.11, which was destroyed in the war, was lined with trees and was cleared in 2020. The house number is used for an office building that was created from a former signal box next door. A piece of the hinterland wall, which is a listed building, begins between these two properties.
In 1932, a “brown shop” opened in No. 14 to propagate National Socialism . Shortly afterwards there was a clash in and in front of the Szczecin tunnel between around 50 National Socialists and workers from the houses on the street, which were politically dominated by the KPD . Shots are said to have been fired. At a tenant council meeting, a “unified committee of the working people in Schwartzkopff-, Pflug- and Wöhlertstrasse to fight the swastika terror” was formed, which demanded the closure of the “brown shop” on leaflets.
