The Sredzkistraße (formerly Franseckystraße or Frans Ecki street ) is located in the Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg of Pankow . The street near Kollwitzplatz was named in 1952 after the resistance fighter against the Nazi regime Siegmund Sredzki (1892-1944).

location

Sredzkistraße in the middle of the map section

The street in Kollwitzkiez runs south parallel to Danziger Straße in a west-east direction from Schönhauser Allee to Prenzlauer Allee . It is crossed by five residential streets in a north-south direction. Together with Kollwitzstrasse and Knaackstrasse , Sredzkistrasse is one of the main streets in the district and, like the surrounding area, is characterized by numerous cafes and bars. At the western end of Sredzkistraße is the listed former Schultheiss brewery complex , which has served as the Kulturbrauerei cultural center since the late 1990s .

The reciprocal house number counting of the street begins at Schönhauser Allee and ends at Prenzlauer Allee with the numbers 66 and 67.

Street history

The traffic route was planned and laid out as Straße 9, Section XII of the development plan from 1862 ( Hobrecht plan ). From July 15, 1875 until it was renamed, it was named Franseckystraße after the former governor of Berlin Eduard von Fransecky . The street, also recorded as Franseckistrasse in address books and city maps, is located in a district in which streets were named after people, places and battles during the Franco-Prussian War and the annexation of Alsace and Lorraine . General Fransecky had been highly decorated in that war. A considerable part of the houses in this street were built on behalf of the German-Dutch Actien-Bauverein . From August 9, 1893, the extension, Plan- Strasse 29 , became part of Franseckystrasse .

After the Second World War , the responsible city administration renamed numerous streets that were named after the military, rulers or events of the war. Since January 31, 1952, the traffic route has been named after the anti-fascist Siegmund Sredzki, who was murdered in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp .

In the GDR era , the long-term plan was to demolish most of the old residential buildings in this area and replace them with new buildings. But since there was also a lack of capacity for the demolition, the buildings increasingly fell into disrepair. Only in connection with the preparations for the 750th anniversary of Berlin did renovations and modernizations begin in selected areas like here around Kollwitzplatz.

Start of renovation measures in 1991

After the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification , further reconstructions gradually began in this area. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the Kollwitzkietz, together with other quarters in the Prenzlauer Berg district, has been one of the coveted residential addresses in Berlin.

Architectural monuments and other noteworthy facilities

Residential house Sredzkistraße 40, cultural monument

In addition to the grounds of the Kulturbrauerei in the north-west of the street, the apartment buildings No. 32, 34 and 40 built in the 1880s are under monument protection. Other houses from the Wilhelminian era at the junction with Kollwitzstrasse (Sredzkistrasse 46/48, 51 and 53) also belong to the monument protection area around Kollwitzplatz . The Martin Luther King School is located inside the block, enclosed by Sredzkistraße in the south, Kollwitzstraße in the east, Danziger Straße in the north and Husemannstraße in the west .

A double gymnasium measuring 22 meters × 44 meters was built in Sredzkistraße 8 from 1998-2003 for around eight million euros . The two-story hall, clad with red clinker bricks, is used for physical education at the neighboring elementary school on Kollwitzplatz, as well as for sports clubs such as the SG Rotation Prenzlauer Berg , which could play hockey and volleyball here . However, the upper of the two floors had to be closed in December 2010 due to damage to the hall ceiling. As the culprit could not yet be determined (as of 2014), only the lower hall is available for sports.
