The Sterndamm is a main road in the Berlin district of Treptow-Koepenick . It runs through the districts of Niederschöneweide and Johannisthal . The development along the traffic route was created in several sections between the last quarter of the 19th century and the 1990s.
Location and course
The smaller section of the Sterndamm (plots 1 and 2) is assigned to the Niederschöneweide district. It runs southwards from Michael-Brückner-Straße ( B 96a ) under the railway bridges. The much larger section, at 2,380 meters, is in the Johannisthal district between the bus turning loop at Schöneweide station and Stubenrauchstraße in the south. This includes plots 4–256 (even) and 7–257 (odd) in zigzag house number counting .
The Sterndamm is laid out in four lanes from the station forecourt. From the confluence with Südostallee, the tram route lies on a green median strip. There are residential buildings from the 1950s and 1960s on both sides. In the southern part from Albineaplatz, Sterndamm runs through the old building area of the district as a four-lane street to Winckelmannstrasse. Here the tram tracks are in the middle of the street, between Winckelmannstraße and Johannes-Werner-Straße as a single track as part of the tram end loop in Haeckelstraße. To calm the traffic, parking is permitted in the right-hand lane.
Shortly before and at the east swing of the Sterndamm towards Stubenrauchstraße there is another median strip. The eastern branch to Stubenrauchstrasse is a wide asphalt road, some with green areas and parking spaces in front of the residential buildings from the 1960s and (north) the 1970s.
Naming and history
19th century to 1945
In connection with the first permanent residential buildings, a north-south traffic route was laid out from the former station Neuer Krug - Johannisthal of the Görlitzer Bahn . It touched the historic town center and was generously designed as a parade . Appropriate concretized route planning is known from 1908, but no official name.
The name Sterndamm was named after the star-shaped square that used to lead to various forest and footpaths that had been laid out by the colonists in Johannisthal. At the beginning of the 20th century, the streets Im Brombeerwinkel, Breiter Weg, Ecksteinweg, Groß-Berliner Damm and Sterndamm flowed here.
The place very close to the train station was named Sternplatz around 1914 and thus also marked the location of a former forester's house called "Stern". In 1916 the "Terrain-Aktiengesellschaft am Flugplatz Johannisthal" owned the properties at Sternplatz 4 to 6.
Around 1916 the street area between the district of Niederschöneweide / Sternplatz and Stubenrauchstraße (now: Königsheideweg, not identical to the route of today's Stubenrauchstraße) was given the name “Sterndamm”; However, it initially comprised a few developed plots: Sterndamm 3 "Eisenbahn-Beamtenhaus", "Villa Bortz" and the restaurant "Einsiedler". The southern continuation of the traffic route was Kaiser-Wilhelm-Strasse .
By 1918 you raised -way street on which the then Grünauerstraße (now Michael-Brückner-Straße) with the Sterndamm through to 1906 built the embankment of the Görlitz line was connected directly to the train station and moved into it in 1922 in Sternplatz one. Here was u. a. a road house owned by the Teltow district , from 1920 owned by the city of Berlin.
With the formation of the community of Greater Berlin , Johannisthal came to the Treptow administrative district .
In 1930 the parcels of the Sterndamm were numbered for the first time. At the same time, the star site was renumbered (now: 1–18). At this time, Josef Bachem , who became known as a church architect, had his studio at Sternplatz 4. In 1940 more house numbers for new buildings were added (19-27).
From 1945
In 1950 and 1951, when numerous streets reminiscent of monarchs or the military were given new names during the GDR era, Kaiser-Wilhelm-Strasse , which continued southwards between Königsheideweg and Lindhorstweg, was incorporated into Sterndamm. Simultaneously with this street, Sternplatz , Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz (since 2003 Albineaplatz) and Königsplatz disappeared from the street directory.
At the beginning of the 1960s, the Johannisthal-Süd residential complex was built on the site of what was then the bush colony allotment garden . For its development, the Sterndamm was extended to Stubenrauchstrasse.
