The Zossener street in Berlin's district Kreuzberg running from Waterloo-Ufer on Landwehrkanal in the north to Bergmannstraße on Marheinekeplatz in the south. Since December 26, 1874, it has been named after the Brandenburg town of Zossen . Its residential and commercial buildings are predominantly built in the Wilhelminian style and could be restored after the destruction in the Second World War .

history

According to the Hobrecht Plan , Division II, streets 6 and 32 were built in the 1860s. The urban territory became the property of the construction company Belle Alliance , which applied for the street name in 1874 and began building residential buildings. Up to 30 families found accommodation in the multi-storey rental houses, often with transverse and side wings , sometimes also with two back courtyards. The residents were craftsmen, small merchants or employees. The front side facing the street often received decorative facades in the style of the time. The address book for 1900 shows the following street layout: “from Blücherstrasse (number 1), via Baruther Strasse, Fürbringerstrasse, Gneisenaustrasse, Mariendorfer Strasse to Bergmannstrasse (number 27) and back”. A total of 61 street numbers were in a horseshoe shape forgiven.

On December 19, 1912, the extension of Zossener Straße between Plan- and Waterloo-Ufer, which was laid out around 1905, was also given this name. Even before Blücherstrasse existed, cemeteries for nearby parishes were gradually being built in this area .

From 1960 to 1977, house number 1 was the Leierkasten , an artists' pub that Kurt Mühlenhaupt ran together with his brother Willi. The pub was a popular meeting place for the Berlin painter-poets . The house was demolished in 1977 and the property was rebuilt.

The Jewess Jeanette Jaffé (relative of the tailor Martin Jaffé) lived in house number 29 . During the Nazi era, she was taken out of her apartment and deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp , where she died. A stumbling block laid in the 2000s commemorates their fate.

At the beginning of the 20th century, house number 31 housed the Belle Alliance brewery , whose employees lived in the front building. Numerous doctors who were already practicing as a polyclinic had settled in house 55 . House no. 48 was acquired and renovated in 2019 by a tenant initiative as a house GmbH .

From 1949 to 1969 there was a so-called corner shop in house 52 and the artist Artur Märchen lived in the side wing of the house for a long time from 1964 .

Buildings and land

The Holy Cross Church with the nearby churchyard

The Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche of the Protestant parish Heilig Kreuz-Passion, Zossener Straße 65, is a listed building . Opposite it is an entrance to the four cemeteries in front of Hallesches Tor , a burial place for many prominent personalities who died in Berlin. The resting place of Joachim Ritzkowsky , a former pastor of the Heilig Kreuz-Passion parish, is located near this entrance . Since he wanted to find his final resting place near his long-standing place of activity, he was buried in the cemetery adjacent to the Holy Cross Church ( Jerusalem and New Church Cemetery I ). As a legacy of his homeless work, the burial of deceased homeless people from the homeless dormitory of the parish that he founded takes place on his grave, a hereditary burial in Department 1/1 . All four cemeteries are garden monuments.

In the 2000s and 2010s, most of the houses on the street were extensively renovated. The house at Zossener Strasse at the corner of Fürbringerstrasse 6 was completed in 1878 and is on the Berlin list of monuments. Together with buildings number 18 and number 31, it was also adapted to the earlier architectural style in terms of the facade during the renovation in the late 1990s. Some of the former stable buildings located there are still used as commercial and business premises.

The street ends in the south at the Marheineke market hall . This hall was almost completely destroyed in World War II. However, some traders in the basement of the ruin kept their shops open until the reconstruction in 1952. The illegal trade flourished around the hall in the post-war period (see picture), against which the police often acted. In 2007 the hall was extensively renovated and, in particular, its south facade facing Bergmannstrasse and Friesenstrasse was architecturally redesigned.

Commercial and gastronomy

From 1901, Gustav Demmler's luxury and lace paper factory, which was founded in 1867, was located at the former address of Zossener Straße 31 . The son of the company founder was the future architect, soccer player and sports official Georg Demmler .

In 1905, the soap manufacturer Rudolf Herrmann built a commercial building on the property at Zossener Strasse 55–58. In 1911 the trading company Hentschel & Co. had its five-storey company representative built on the property at 55 Zossener Strasse. In 1975 the Gewerbesiedlungs-Gesellschaft acquired both properties and combined them into one large commercial complex. The buildings were erected between 1905 and 1911 as reinforced concrete industrial buildings and extensively renovated in the early 2000s with co-financing from EU funds. Today, printers, lawyers, architects, visual artists, designers and photographers have settled in the industrial estate.

Until the reconstruction of the Holy Cross Church, which was completely destroyed in the Second World War, the parish had rented rooms in the building complex on the first floor for church services , church official acts, for the sexton and for the youth work of the young community .

The Elefanten Press Galerie , which was founded in 1972 by students from the cultural studies department of the TU Berlin, including Tom Fecht and was initially located in Dresdener Strasse on Oranienplatz, was located at Zossener Str. 32 .

A branch of the comic bookstore Grober Unfug   at Zossener Straße 33 has been of supraregional importance since 1990. In addition to various boutiques for clothing and shoes, as well as the traditional button Paul company for buttons and fashion accessories, which has existed since 1987 at Zossener Straße 10, you can find them in the southern part of the street is home to numerous restaurants .

traffic

Zossener Straße is connected to public transport by bus line 248 ( Ostbahnhof - Breitenbachplatz via Südkreuz ) in the southern part and by underground line U7 , whose Gneisenaustraße station with its exit to Zossener Straße is in the middle of the street. In the north, Hallesches Tor station can be reached in a few minutes on foot with the U1 and U6 underground lines .

Horses used to run on Zossener Strasse , later trams . In 1904 tram line 14 turned into Zossener Strasse between Moabit and Marheinekeplatz on Gneisenaustrasse and ended at the market hall . In 1947 a line from the intersection with Blücherstraße via Marheinekeplatz up Friesenstraße was closed. Since October 2, 1950, tram line 21 has been running from Moabit / Wiebestrasse to Friesenstrasse / Schwiebusser Strasse. In the course of the street there were the stops Zossener Brücke , Zossener Straße and Marheinekeplatz . Line 21 was shut down on January 22, 1953 and replaced by a bus line.
