Course of the road
The Seestrasse is a section of the open road ring around the Berlin city center, which starts in Neukölln as the A 100 and leads to Friedrichshain . The road begins at the Seestraße exit on the border between the Plötzensee and Moabit districts . After 500 meters it crosses the Hohenzollern Canal and thus reaches the district of Wedding. It leads south past the Plötzensee , from which it owes its name, towards the intersection with the African and Amrumer Strasse.
On the north side of this section are the St. Pauls, Nazareth and St. Johannis Kirchhöfe and opposite the area of the Rudolf Virchow Clinic . Furthermore, the campus for the fermentation industry with the experimental and training institute for brewing and the Prussian spirits factory are located here .
At the intersection with Müllerstraße are the Seestraße underground station, planned by Heinrich Jennen and opened in 1923, and the main entrance to the Seestraße municipal urn cemetery .
The street continues south of the St. Philip and the municipal urn cemetery as well as the Apostle Cemetery to Louise-Schroeder-Platz , where it merges into Osloer Straße at the border with Gesundbrunnen .
House number system
From the construction of the road to the end of the 19th century, the parcels were numbered in a horseshoe shape . The count started west on the north bank, went from number 1 to number 40 on Reinickendorfer Straße, on the other side of the street back to number 84. Around 1930, the administration assigned new house numbers that have been used continuously since then. They range from numbers 1 and 2 (belong to Charlottenburg-Nord), through 3 to 126 - still in a horseshoe shape - to number 131 (belongs to Moabit).
history
Emergence
The road runs through the area of the former Kämmereiheide . You already emerged before the parcelling of this forest area; it is already mentioned by name on a map from 1827. It became part of a plan conceived by Peter Joseph Lenné in 1841 to enclose the entire Berlin area with a ring (a belt road ). It was built at the beginning of the 20th century. When the city motorway was not yet available, the Seestrasse began further south-west, running along the northern bank of the New Connection Canal to the Habsburg bank. The Berlin city motorway A 100 has been on this route since the 1960s and begins at the southern Seestrasse bridge.
At its eastern end, today's Louise-Schroeder-Platz - initially: Oskarplatz - Seestrasse originally ran diagonally to Letteallee. However, this end was renamed Reginhardstrasse on November 15, 1957. The direct connection between Oskarplatz and today's Reginhardstraße was dissolved in favor of a clearer crossing.
Development and establishment of various facilities
At the southern end of Seestrasse is the sewage pumping station Seestrasse . From 1886 onwards the wastewater was pumped to the sewage fields north of Berlin in Schenkendorf , Müllersfelde , Lindenhof and Schönerlinde . The plant, which was modernized in 1997, is currently transporting the wastewater to the Ruhleben sewage treatment plant .
On the other side of the street is the former Plötzensee correctional facility ( known locally as "The Plötze" in Berlin ) with the nearby military bathing facility . The Plötzensee Memorial is also located on the premises of the prison .
The former military bathing facility at Plötzensee has become an open-air swimming pool with boat rental. This is where the shoemaker Wilhelm Voigt acted , who on October 16, 1906, wearing the uniform of a captain, placed the team of the swimming school guard from Plötzensee under his command, drove with them to Köpenick and took over the council box there. Through Carl Zuckmayer's 1931 novel Der Hauptmann von Köpenick. The prank went down in literary history as a German fairy tale .
At the end of the 19th century, businesses set up shop in quick succession on the plots along this street. In 1905, the Berlin address book shows, for example, a bar in the Berlin Bock brewery and a grave monument factory (number 3), a test field for the Royal Agricultural University , the institute for fermentation and starch production with numerous experimental and teaching institutions ( alcohol production , yeast, brewery with the university brewery , agricultural machinery technology, ... all number 13) and for sugar production on Amrumer Strasse, which opens into Seestrasse.
The experimental institute for grain processing, founded in 1907 by the union of the research institute of the Association of German Millers and the State Experimental Corn House, was established on plot 11 .
The Seestraße site of the Robert Koch Institute was built on the property at Seestraße 10 and opened on February 3, 2015 in the presence of Chancellor Angela Merkel , Health Minister Hermann Gröhe and Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks . The majority of the research laboratories are located here, including the newly established Biosafety Level 4 laboratory. Central facilities such as the IT department now have their branches here.
The miner Electricitäts-Werke Aktiengesellschaft (numbers 32c-32e; since the end of the 20th century Osram Carree ), a nurses' home of the community Capernaum (number 66) and military shooting ranges (number 72) can also be found in this street area. At the beginning of the 20th century there were mostly multi-family houses on the plots between 18 and 68m.
Traffic development
From the beginning, Seestrasse was laid out relatively wide with a green median. From Beusselstrasse at the southern end of the street via what was then Oskarplatz to Prenzlauer Berg , trams have been running on the median strip since the early 1930s.
On January 15, 1953, the joint tram operation between East and West Berlin ended . The West Berlin section of tram line 3 on Seestrasse was shut down on August 1, 1964, and the tracks were then dismantled. The fall of the Berlin Wall made it possible to extend the tram from Bornholmer Strasse back to Seestrasse. Operation began on October 25, 1997 as an extension of the lines 23 and 24 (which ran continuously in East Berlin) on Seestrasse, initially to Louise-Schroeder-Platz, and later to the Virchow Clinic. Later line renaming meant that lines M13 and 50 now operate on Seestrasse.
At the intersection with Müllerstraße is the Seestraße subway station , which is part of the U6 line of the Berlin subway .

In the years 1900–1902 the church building was erected in an area that was still undeveloped at that time according to plans by Karl Siebold from Bethel ( Bielefeld ). The land and the money for the construction of the church were donated to the church in order to improve the value of the surrounding building land, which belonged to the founder, Count Eduard Karl von Oppersdorf . Between 1909 and 1911, the parish hall was added to the church, which is connected to a block to the west.

The Berliner Ecke and the shops on the ground floor that protrude into both streets are particularly noticeable . The facades are plastered, have a square and ornamental Art Nouveau reliefs. Tower bay windows with delicate skylights and balconies, arranged between the bay windows, reinforce the splendid appearance appropriate to a boulevard.
