The Zossener street in Berlin's Marzahn-Hellersdorf is an approximately 1,600 meter long main road in the district of Berlin-Hellersdorf . It connects Landsberger Allee / Landsberger Chaussee in the north with Stendaler Strasse in the east.

history

Zossener Straße was part of the second construction phase in the newly created district of Hellersdorf . The name was given on July 2, 1987 at the same time as neighboring streets. In this residential area, it was based on place names from the Potsdam district , because the construction site was built by construction companies in this district. Zossen is a town in the former Potsdam district, now in the Teltow-Fläming district in Brandenburg .

course

The route of the Zossener Straße lies on former sewage fields . It initially runs in a north-south direction. After about a quarter, at the confluence with Luckenwalder Straße, it makes an almost right-angled swivel to the east and at the confluence with Kastanienallee again a slight curve. The street has an average width of 30 meters and is separated by a green median .

Zossener Straße initially has access roads of the same name running parallel to the east and, after changing direction, on both sides. For the residential area to the east and north / south there are some cross branches, which are also called Zossener Strasse. A green pedestrian path was laid out parallel to Landsberger Chaussee along a cross arm of Zossener Straße , which also contains play and climbing elements.

Zossener Straße continues at the intersection with Stendaler Straße as Tangermünder Straße .

The geographic coordinate points roughly to the middle of the street.

Development

The city planners designed multi-storey residential buildings for the new development of the "residential areas Kaulsdorf I and II or Kaulsdorf / Hellersdorf", as this area was first called, which could be built inexpensively from prefabricated panels. These prefabricated buildings were built by construction workers from all districts of the GDR and form continuous rows of streets.

The north-south section of the street is only built on with residential buildings on the east side, the west side is reserved for the green belt around the Wuhle river . The west-east section of the street (the "Südliche Zossener Straße") has elongated residential buildings on both sides that are between five and eleven floors high. Some of the gaps that were built after the fall of the Wall adapt to the existing development. The reconstruction and renovation of the residential buildings resulted in a more colorful and varied facade.

Also in the southern area, the section between Zossener Straße and Havelländer Ring was prepared as part of the “Green Belt” with around 183,000 euros from the Urban Redevelopment East program. It was completed in September 2009 and opened to the public.

The residential area on Zossener Strasse includes a day-care center , the Jugendwerk Aufbau Ost JAO gGmbH (Zossener Strasse 53-55: Children's integration facility Kita “Taffy”) and two schools, including the “Jean Piaget Secondary School”, which were dismantled in 2008 Areas received a newly laid out sports field. Another school building from GDR times was demolished in 2009 on the basis of a zoning plan for the southern Zossener Strasse drawn up by the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district office and decided by the Senate Department for Urban Development - and the area was rededicated as building land. The measure described as " rounding off the surrounding residential use in the area of ​​Zossener Straße" initially led to fallow land , which is then gradually condensed with new rented residential buildings.

At the intersection of Zossener Strasse and Alten Hellersdorfer Strasse, a “district center” was established as part of the Urban Redevelopment East program , which led to better use of existing fallow or green areas.

traffic

Zossener Straße has been used by trams for its entire length since May 1, 1991 , currently (as of 2012) by lines M6 and 18. When the street was named, the tram lines did not exist here yet. The residents were able to use the bus lines on Alte Hellersdorfer Strasse (line 75) and on Eisenacher Strasse (line 91) as well as the trams that ran on Landsberger Allee (lines 6 and 10).

Each main direction of travel for private traffic is divided into two lanes, in some places additional parking bays have been developed in front of the residential buildings or in the median.

Art in the street

Art on the roofs

At its northern beginning, art objects were installed on the roofs of house numbers 9–17 (and Teupitzer Strasse 34–44) on behalf of the Hellersdorf housing association (WoGeHe) in 1997/1998: steel skeleton sculptures with colored trapezoidal sheets (between 5 and 11 meters high) Lithuanian artist Mindaugas Navakas entitled Reconnaissance . The individual objects are a vase, a lightning bolt and an obelisk , which are repeated in variations. The art in construction is the result of a workshop for artists from the Baltic states .

House sign

In front of houses 70–84 there are house signs - stylized representations made of sandstone on square concrete bases. The authors are the sculptor Marguerite Blume-Cárdenas and the artist Karl Günter Möpert . The almost one meter high sculptures depict stylized flowers and variations on the sphere theme.
