The Storkower Straße in Berlin is a more long four kilometers Road, the various pre-existing by merging or laying roads was formed in the 1960s and 1970s. It runs in a gentle curve through the Prenzlauer Berg district in the Pankow district and the Fennpfuhl and Lichtenberg districts in the Lichtenberg district .
history
The traffic route was named before 1919 after the town of Storkow (Mark), southeast of Berlin. The street name can be traced for the first time in the Berlin address books from 1919 in the area of the district court Berlin-Weißensee , district court III. The vacant Storkower Strasse initially ran between Greifswalder Strasse and Kniprodestrasse, the only cross street was Beeskower Strasse.
Residential buildings in the north-western area up to Kniprodestrasse were then built and occupied from the mid-1920s to the early 1940s. Now Storkower Strasse ran from house number 1 (the odd numbers on the right-hand side) via Kniprodestrasse to Maiglöckchenstrasse (house number 95), further cross streets had been added. The southern section ran through an allotment garden until the mid-1950s. Most of the new houses or land (25–95) were owned by the non-profit settlement and housing association Berlin .
Between 1962 and 1966, the East Berlin magistrate had an extensive industrial complex built in the northeast section of what was then Leninallee (today: Landsberger Allee ), which amounted to another extension of the street.
The building on the right in the background was the former Lichtenberg wheelhouse , it was demolished in the 1980s.
With the establishment of the then new building district Lichtenberg Nord (from 2001 district Fennpfuhl ) in the 1970s, Storkower Straße was extended from Leninallee over the allotment area to Möllendorffstraße. The previously rather insignificant Storkower Strasse became an important traffic artery. In its present leadership and length of the road was new on April 2, 1975 dedicated . On this occasion, the house number count was completely redefined.
description
The busy Storkower Straße runs parallel to the Ringbahn . It crosses the districts of Pankow (with the district Prenzlauer Berg) and Lichtenberg (with the district Fennpfuhl). The south side of the street belongs between Rudolf-Seiffert- and Möllendorffstraße to the district Lichtenberg. The number management is performed by Berlin way, d. H. the odd numbers were assigned for the southwest side, the even numbers for the northeast side.
The hotel building at the south-west corner of the intersection with Landsberger Allee (at the Landsberger Allee S-Bahn station) bears house number 106, and together with the Landsberger Forum, which was built later, it dominates the west side of the intersection.
On the south-west side of the street, a petrol station and a discounter ( Aldi ) are located on lots 174 and 176 on the area facing the Ringbahn to Thaerstraßenbrücke . On the south side, the trench follows without any further land to the Storkower Straße S-Bahn station . The further southern area of the street east of Rudolf-Seiffert-Straße to Möllendorffstraße belongs to the district of Lichtenberg.
The north side of Storkower Straße includes in the Fennpfuhler section the plots 175–225, mainly separated from the street course behind tree strips. Loosened development (Storkower Strasse 175, 177–185, 187–195 and 197–205) defines the street section. There are green areas about 500 meters from Landsberger Allee; here the road is widened to over 30 meters, so there are four lanes in each direction of travel on all approaching roads.
The Gustavo-Haus is visible from afar , a 21-storey point high-rise building , but assigned to Franz-Jacob-Straße 1/3. The 'Storkower Bogen' building complex (207, 207a, 207b), built by an investor as a commercial and industrial center after the political change , is striking . Upstream there is a bus turning point at the S-Bahn station . The Olof-Palme-Oberschule with sports hall and sports field is located on plot 209a . The four renovated WBS-70 blocks 211/213, 215/217, 219/221, 223/225 are on the street front between Paul-Junius- and Alfred-Jung-Straße. Behind them is the Am Fennpfuhl elementary school.

Development
In the Lichtenberg district, the street forms the border between the districts of Fennpfuhl and (Alt-) Lichtenberg.
In the south-eastern area of the Prenzlauer Berg district, in the industrial complex, the TT-Bahnen companies and the Institute for Control Engineering and Process Automation (IRP) settled. After the political change, numerous buildings were cleared, some of them torn down. One company spin-off, the AUCO team, remained in the house of the IRP .
Most of the flat and prefabricated buildings established in the northeast found new users. These range from small service providers such as car repair shops, furniture stores or building cleaners to larger companies and institutions such as a branch of Sparda-Bank (No. 101a), the Pankow Employment Agency (No. 120) or Kaufland (No. 139).
On the northwest corner of the intersection with Landsberger Allee, another commercial building was erected while the renovation work was being carried out on Andels's . A sporting goods supplier, a bakery, a grocery store and a Burger King found sales areas there. Medical practices, service providers and a hostel can be found on the upper floors.
Hotel Andel’s , which started in 1997, is located directly at the southwest corner of the intersection with Landsberger Allee (number 106) . However, the plans still envisaged the construction of the Landsberger Arkaden , a dominant urban development designed by the architect Aldo Rossi , the "entrance gate to Lichtenberg". After the shell was completed, the real estate company ran out of money and construction ceased. The search for a solution took several years. a. even once provided for the Lichtenberg district administration to move in here. Finally, the Austrian entrepreneur Andel found himself , who was finally able to open a hotel here through structural modifications. The animal store Zoologica , which had previously existed at this point and was well known in East Berlin , was demolished for this purpose.
In the south-western area - between Landsberger Allee and Möllendorffstraße - more residential buildings were gradually built.
The pedestrian bridge over the Ringbahn and the former central cattle and slaughterhouse at the Storkower Straße S-Bahn station, formerly the longest pedestrian bridge in Europe, is remarkable .
