overview

Location

The Hansaviertel was built in the 1870s and 1880s on an arch of the Spree as a bourgeois residential area with closed perimeter block development, primarily with villas and better townhouses. Some of the streets were given names related to northern Germany, while other streets were named after composers and poets. The Hansa district belonged to 1920 to the Tiergarten district, then in the formation of Greater Berlin to Tiergarten district . During the Second World War , the Hansaviertel was one of the most severely damaged districts in Berlin. The part of the Hansaviertel to the south of the tram viaduct was rebuilt as part of the 1957 Interbau International Building Exhibition , partially abandoning the old street grid in the classic modern style. Many of these buildings are listed. With the district reform in 2001, the Hansaviertel became a separate official district in Berlin's Mitte district .
