The Teufelsseechaussee is a street in the Berlin district of Grunewald . It is a dead end street in the west of the German capital in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district and runs completely through the Grunewald forest .
History of the road
The traffic route follows the course of previous forestry routes that led from the former Grunewald marshalling yard to the Teufelsfenn area . In 1922, the first part of Heerstraße going southwards was developed, which was named Teufelsseestraße . The street was extended for the first time between 1930 and 1932; it now ran from Heerstraße via Lyckallee , Insterburgallee and Tannenbergallee to Soldauer Platz .
The Teufelsseechaussee appears in the address book for the first time in 1938 with the course from Teufelsseestrasse, past the Charlottenburg waterworks, via a connecting street to Waldschulallee .
When the transformation of Berlin into the “ World Capital Germania ” began in 1937 , Adolf Hitler personally laid the foundation stone for a defense technology faculty at Teufelsseechaussee , which was to be the beginning of a completely new university town. Due to the war that soon began and the redistribution of funds, this building was not completed, instead it was covered with millions of tons of building rubble when the war rubble was cleared away, creating the Teufelsberg .
course
The Teufelsseechaussee is the extension of the Teufelsseestraße , which goes from the Heerstraße - where the S-Bahn station of the same name is located (route towards Spandau and to the Westkreuz to the Ring - and Stadtbahn ) - to the edge of the forest.
The Teufelsseechaussee initially leads in a south-southwest direction in a slight left curve through the Grunewald. On the right, between the trees, almost immediately next to the road, the Drachenberg (approx. 99 meters) and the Teufelsberg (120.1 meters) rise up. The slightly lower Drachenberg is largely ungrown on its plateau and is used as a destination for excursions in the Grunewald. A large parking lot connects to the Teufelsseechaussee on the right, further south there are some driveways to the parking lot and to the Teufelsberg, some of which date from the time when trucks transported the rubble and rubble up the mountain. In this northern section there is still a wooded area on the left (i.e. to the east) between the street and the adjacent Eichkamp settlement and the sports fields that are also available there.
As in the entire course, pines dominate the picture, with some deciduous trees scattered in between.
The Teufelsberg is relatively densely overgrown and is bypassed by the Teufelsseechaussee in a subsequent wide right-hand bend. Other paths lead steeply up there, and depending on the season of the year, you can sometimes see the serpentines winding up the mountain.
The first significant difference in altitude can be seen in another slight left curve, where the direction changes from west-southwest to southwest. The course of the road adapts to the relief conditions and leads into the depression of the Teufelssee chain of lakes, a trace of the last ice age . Several lakes have formed here, of which the Teufelssee is the largest. Some other former lakes - further south - such as the Barssee and the Pechsee have largely silted up .
Adjacent streets and facilities
The 'Grunewald' colony is located in the forest on the left . It is connected to the Teufelsseechaussee and thus to the roads by a paved path - the connecting street, which leads further south. Behind the garden colony, after a few hundred meters on foot, you come to a former gravel pit , which is also a destination today.
Another road leads right up to the higher summit of the Teufelsberg. It is lined with parking spaces and has serpentines and inclines that are relatively unusual for Berlin, which is appreciated by cyclists, among others.
The Teufelssee is a popular excursion destination and has a swimming area with a view of the Teufelsberg. At the end of the Chaussee there are additional spacious parking spaces. The Teufelssee Ökowerk , a former waterworks, is easy to reach, as is the gravel pit mentioned above. The area around the Teufelssee and the surrounding moor, the Teufelsfenn, are under nature protection .
particularities
- The entire Teufelsseechaussee is designated as a bicycle road.

The Luisenstädtischer Bildungsverein specifies 1914 as the year it was named; However, this does not have to have been linked to a structural measure, but would only be the administrative dedication act.
