The street Unter den Eichen in the Berlin districts of Lichterfelde and Dahlem in the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district is an extension of Schloßstraße from Am Fichtenberg to the intersection with Dahlemer Weg / Thielallee , where it turns into Berliner Straße .

The busy street with a length of around 2340 meters is part of the inner-city connection between the centers of the districts of Steglitz and Zehlendorf and the federal highway 1 from Berlin to Potsdam . It runs in the area of ​​the Botanical Garden with two lanes in each direction plus a parallel residential street on the south side. To the west of Asternplatz it becomes much wider, has a wide median and more lanes. In the area of ​​the intersection with Habelschwerdter Allee / Drakestrasse , the main carriageway has four lanes as an under tunnel, with two lanes above ground leading to the intersection in each direction of travel.

Development

The north side of the street to the west of Habelschwerdter Allee belongs to Dahlem, properties 1–63, 84e – 96 (continuous) and 97–135 (backward) belong to the district.

The street is partially built on with closed apartment blocks. The Botanical Garden and the Federal Institute for Materials Testing are also located on it .

history

The street is part of Berlin-Potsdamer Chaussee , which was completed in 1792 and was the first paved art street in the Kingdom of Prussia . On January 6, 1911, this section of Potsdamer Chaussee was named after the oaks with which the street was planted on both sides. When trunk roads were numbered for the first time in Germany in 1932, the road was part of trunk road 1 . From 1934 it was part of Reichsstrasse 1 and since 1949 it has belonged to Bundesstrasse 1

In 1934 the road was expanded to four lanes, and the mighty old avenue trees had to be felled.

At the end of the 1960s, the section between Asternplatz and Thielallee began to widen this street again significantly. The northern edge development was almost completely demolished. Among others, the house at Kamillenstrasse 6 in 1968, in which Federal President Theodor Heuss and his wife Elly Heuss-Knapp lived, in 1965 a porter's house and a servants' house of the listed, former Imperial Health Office, as well as five houses in the Dahlem II rental housing complex by Erich Köhn (between Rudeloffweg and Von -Laue-Straße), which is now a listed building. In the area of ​​the intersection with Habelschwerdter Allee / Drakestrasse, an under tunnel was built that takes up the main carriageway of the street in four lanes.

A widening of the street in the section of the botanical garden was also planned, with the loss of all buildings of the southern entrance area as well as parts of the garden. In the course of the 1970s, however, the transport policy specifications changed, so that this was no longer carried out.

traffic

Former tram route

The West Berlin suburban railway opened on 26 April 1913, the tram connection from the castle street corner lights Chaussee (now Hindenburgdamm ) to the intersection of Unter den Eichen corner Drakestraße. The route was extended to Dahlemer Weg on June 20, 1926 under the leadership of the Berlin tram . A planned extension to Glienicke Bridge and the link with the Potsdam tram network never came about.

As a result of road construction work, the line was closed on January 15, 1934 and the tracks laid on the side of the road were subsequently removed.

Transportation

The entire length of the Unter den Eichen street is served by the M48 bus line with six stops. It is also affected by the M11 and 101 bus routes. South parallel guided runs in about 200 meters over the entire length train-line S1 on the route of Wannseebahn .
