The Torstrasse in Berlin districts of Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg is a two-kilometer main road that the minor road to the east with the Hanover Street connects the west. It developed from a path in front of the former Berlin excise wall . The street runs in an east-west direction between Prenzlauer Tor ( Karl-Liebknecht-Straße / Prenzlauer Allee ) and Oranienburger Tor ( Chausseestraße / Friedrichstraße ). There are numerous architectural monuments on it.

Location and naming

Torstrasse is located between Prenzlauer Allee / Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse and the Oranienburger Tor ( Friedrichstrasse / Chausseestrasse ) and leads over the intersection with Schönhauser Allee / Alten Schönhauser Strasse ( Schönhauser Tor ) and Rosenthaler Platz . The orientation numbering of the buildings on the street begins at Prenzlauer Tor and counts on both sides upwards to the west to house number 231. On the north side there are all odd numbers, on the south side all properties with even numbers. The geo-coordinate refers to the intersection of Torstrasse and Rosenthaler Strasse. The course of the road, which curves slightly to the north in the course, is located with the entire road area, the entire southern development and the western part of the northern development in Berlin's Mitte district of the same name . The north building (east of Gormannstraße) with the house numbers 1-89 (odd) is part of the district of Prenzlauer Berg , Pankow district . In the middle there are lots 6–234 (even) and 93–231 (odd). The buildings on Torstrasse survived the decades, and even at the end of the Second World War, there was hardly any damage. The merging of Elsässer and Lothringer Strasse in 1951 made it necessary to renumber the parcels. For example, house numbers other than those currently assigned can be specified in historical documents.

The street has the number 16988 in the Berlin street directory and is integrated into the Berlin road network as a higher-level road connection (category II, comparable to a state road). It has the Okstra class G and is listed in the regional system (RBS) as "STRA". These data stand for the degree of expansion and construction and renovation responsibilities. Torstraße has two different designs, which may be due to the different street names between 1873 and 1951. To the east of Rosenthaler Platz it is 40 meters wide between the buildings, through which tram tracks run on their own track, and two separate lanes, each with three lanes, the outer one of which serves as a parking lane outside the intersection areas. The approximately 30 meters wide western section without tram traffic also has three lanes, one of which is designated as a parking lane in each direction.

In 1873 the section east of Rosenthaler Platz was named Lothringer Strasse , and the area to the west was named Elsässer Strasse . Both name changes were made with regard to after 1871 took place annexation of Alsace and Lorraine to the German Reich . On January 3, 1951, the two streets were named after Wilhelm Pieck , the first President of the GDR founded on October 7, 1949 . On July 25, 1994, the entire length of Wilhelm-Pieck-Strasse was renamed to Torstrasse, which refers to the older, original street name made up of “Thor” and, on the other hand, the names of the square of the former city ​​gates still in use .

history

The Torstrasse traffic train on the plan of the residential cities of Berlin , 1789 (location on the northern edge of the map)

The traffic route was built around 1735 with the Berlin customs wall and ran outside along the wall. These “ communications ” connecting the city gates were at the same time the northern limit of the buildings in Berlin. Around 1800, this tariff wall formed the border around the Spandauer Vorstadt and at the Hamburgerthor to the Neu-Voigtland settlement , which was outside the tariff wall, running eastward from the Oranienburgerthor . The Communicationsweg opened up the Rosenthalerthor , the Schönhauserthor and the Prenzlauerthor in the route of today's Torstraße . The inner-city route was supplemented by the Linienstraße running parallel to the south . Straße vor den Goren was also used as the name for these connections between 1826 and 1872 .

On the map from 1760 there is no traffic route at the Berlin excise wall. On the map from 1789, however, the connection (communication) is a continuous path from the Spree from the Oranienburger Tor eastwards to the Schönhauser and Prenzlauer Tor and around the burial place of the Marienkloster and Nikolai parish to the Bernauer Tor or Königstor. The street between the Oranienburger Tor and the Rosenthaler Tor is shown on a map from 1786 as an unmarked route. Thorstrasse is shown on the map of Berlin from 1801, drawn by J. C. Selter . It runs between Hamburger Tor and Ackerstraße that crosses the route . On J. C. Selters map from 1804 the Thorstrasse between Oranienburger Tor and Rosenthaler Tor is indicated by name. In the 18th century, a communication between the gates led in the extension of Thorstraße “along the outer side of the city wall between Rosenthaler and Schönhauser Thor”, the name of which was given in 1790 as Schönhauser Communication . On June 11, 1832, the street running from the Rosenthaler Tor to the west was named Wollankstraße . The Wollank family were landowners in the north of Berlin; the vineyards in front of the Rosenthaler Tor were probably decisive for the naming .

With the removal of the municipal excise in 1860, the tariff wall became meaningless and only hindered traffic. It was demolished with the gates between 1867 and 1870, making the communications regular city streets. The annexation of Alsace-Lorraine after 1871 gave rise to naming the already extensively built-up streets. The Thor road was including the hamburger Communication and Oranienburger Communication as Elsasser Street entered in the Berlin street index. The subsequent Wollankstrasse and the communication at Schönhauser Thor were named Lothringer Strasse . For Elsasser Straße (ss is long S and round-s) the spelling Elsaßer Straße was also common and from 1926 the spelling with umlaut-A was officially added as Elsäßer Straße .

The road C, Div. XII of the development plan as eastern continuation of Lothringerstraße received on 24 April 1890, the name Jostystraße , named after the brothers Johann Josty (1773-1826) and Daniel Josty (1777-1845) consisting of Switzerland Coming worked in Berlin as confectioners and brewery owners. The street was between Prenzlauer Strasse and Neuer Königstrasse (since 1995 Otto-Braun-Strasse). The name Jostystraße was deleted in 1969 when its route was added to the wider Mollstraße when it was extended. The western continuation of Elsasser Straße was named Hannoversche Straße in 1891 . With the establishment of the excise wall around 1735, this connection to the Charité outside the city was named Charitéstraße . With the New Gate , which was created in 1836 as an additional passage through the excise wall, the name Communication at the New Gate arose .

Most of the tenement houses on Torstrasse were built at the end of the 19th century. Their construction and equipment were based on the ideas and needs of the upper class of society in the imperial capital, not on the architecture of the petty-bourgeois old suburb. Well-known architects left their built traces on this street, in which there are more than 50 listed buildings. In the list of monuments, a total of 70 objects related to Torstrasse are listed.
