The Warschauer Platz in Berlin district of Friedrichshain is a place which is situated east of the underground to the station Berlin Warschauer Straße between Stralauer Allee and Rudolfstraße located. The square was listed in the city's development plan as L space of Department XIV. On June 7, 1896, it was named after the Polish capital of Warsaw , just like the existing road to the west of the station . Before it was renamed Warschauer Platz in 1946, it was called Am Warschauer Platz .

history

The square was laid out as part of the construction of the underground station from 1906. Since the Hobrecht Plan in 1862 the area was called Platz L ; when it was first built in 1906, it was named Warschauer Platz . Since a separate connection to the freight station was possible and, on the other hand, the Osthafen on the Spree was close, a new company complex was built here on the site of the waterworks in front of the Stralauer Tor, which was closed in 1893. This gave access to the newly built Rudolfkiez , which at that time consisted of tenement barracks , and the former Narva site. The Max-Koch-Passage, named after the building materials dealer Maximilian Koch , created direct access to Warschauer Strasse through the elevated railway viaduct.
