The Tiergartenstraße is a major route in the Berlin district of Tiergarten of the district center . It leads from Ben-Gurion-Straße (formerly: Entlastungsstraße ) to Hofjägerallee and from there is continued as Stülerstraße. It represents the southern boundary of the zoo along its entire length .
Course of the road
A route from Potsdamer Tor on the southern edge of the zoo to Lietzow is already shown on the map from 1698 . From the 18th century until the name was given on July 8, 1831, it was known as the Kanonenweg , which ran to what was then the Schafgraben . With the development of this area in the 1860s, the street was extended to Hitzigstrasse (today: Stülerstrasse). In 1938 the subsequent part of Stülerstraße was also renamed Tiergartenstraße, but in 1975 it was spun off again as Thomas-Dehler-Straße.
History of Tiergartenstrasse and the Tiergartenviertel
From 1685 French Huguenots settled between Tiergartenstrasse and Schafgraben and used this area for agriculture. On an early map of Old Berlin (Selter, 1809) numerous buildings are drawn south of Tiergartenstrasse, which were used by the French settlers for agricultural purposes. In addition to gardeners' houses and excursion restaurants that replaced the first farms, the first summer houses of the Berlin bourgeoisie were built here from 1790 . Such a house was the Landhaus Mölter, which Friedrich Gilly moved into in 1799 . The houses of Oberhofbaurat Friedrich Becherer from 1790 and the theater director August Wilhelm Iffland from 1800, built by Carl Gotthard Langhans , could already be inhabited all year round. With the development plan issued in 1828, this area, now known as the Tiergarten district, developed into a villa colony with spacious villas and apartment buildings.
All the important Prussian architects and builders worked here, including Friedrich Hitzig , Eduard Knoblauch , Ludwig Persius and Friedrich August Stüler . The area was incorporated into the city of Berlin as Lower Friedrichsvorstadt in 1841 . From 1900 onwards, several diplomatic missions settled in the Tiergarten district, the first of which was that of the Kingdom of Spain on Regentenstrasse (today: Hitzigallee). By 1930 there were already 30 foreign representations.
As part of the redesign of the Reich capital that had begun , the area between Bendlerstrasse and Lichtensteinallee was designated as the diplomatic quarter in 1938 by General Building Inspector Albert Speer . A further seven embassy buildings could be completed by 1943, some of them with monumental design, the designs of which had to be approved by Albert Speer. The bombing towards the end of the Second World War caused severe damage.
After the war, the buildings were poorly repaired or stood empty for years and fell into disrepair. It was not until the Bundestag decided to move to Berlin in 1991 that the diplomatic quarter was revitalized. The old embassy buildings were refurbished and occupied or new embassy buildings and state representations were built.
