After the 30-year war, Elector Friedrich Wilhelm I built the baroque fortress Dorotheenstadt in 1674. Friedrichstra\u00dfe became the most important connecting street between Dorotheenstadt and the other districts of Berlin. In the course of this, the intersection Unter den Linden\/Friedrichstra\u00dfe became one of the most important intersections and a reflection of the heyday of the Prussian state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to increase tax revenues, the \"soldier king\" Friedrich Wilhelm I ordered the development of Friedrichstra\u00dfe to be accelerated. His son \"Frederick the Great\" ordered the construction of representative street fronts and financed show facades of town houses. The Friedrichstadt was further expanded to North and South.
Northern customs border became the Oranienburger Tor, southern customs border the Hallesche Tor. While the trades settled here, in the middle part of Friedrichstra\u00dfe it was the royal officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, there were three urban highlights: the Karree \u2013 the later Pariser Platz, the Oktogon \u2013 the later Leipziger Platz and, based on the model of the \"Piazza del Poppolo\", the rondell at hallesches Tor. In 1815, after the wars of liberation, it was given the name Belle-Alliance-Platz and in 1947 the name Mehringplatz. In 1843, the Peace Column was erected on it by Cantian and C. D. Rauch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the extension of friedrichstadt and construction of the roundabout, Friedrichstra\u00dfe was the most important north-south axis of Berlin and the only main line of the royal residence city, which was bordered by 2 city gates. When King Louis XIV expelled the Huguenots from France in 1685, the Elector offered \"a safe and free retreat to all our lands and provincies\", giving them money and passports. They inspired trade and industry, integrated themselves into court under Frederick the Great and shaped Prussian virtues for more than a century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nach 1840 verschlechterten sich, infolge der Bev\u00f6lkerungsexplosion, die Lebensbedingungen derart, dass das B\u00fcrgertum gegen die Willk\u00fcr der Obrigkeit aufbegehrte. Forderungen nach Rede- und Pressefreiheit, Amnestie f\u00fcr politisch Verfolgte, politische Gleichstellung ohne Ber\u00fccksichtigung des Verm\u00f6gens, Standes oder der Konfession wurden in den Volksversammlungen laut. K\u00f6nig Friedrich Wilhelm IV. lie\u00df jedoch auf der Friedrichstra\u00dfe auf seine Untertanen schie\u00dfen und beendete damit das Volksbegehren der M\u00e4rzrevolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Wilhelminian period, Friedrichstra\u00dfe, together with Leipziger Stra\u00dfe and Unter den Linden, became the heart of Berlin. It became the legendary shopping street. Banks and insurance companies came, and the \"Zeitungsviertel\" was built in the southern part of Friedrichstra\u00dfe. Around 1900, 36 political newspapers were published there every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1882, Friedrichstra\u00dfe station was inaugurated as a magnificent architectural complex. It became the elixir of life on Friedrichstra\u00dfe, the central hub with amusements, hotels, cafes, night bathing establishments, varieties and concerts, bars, restaurants and cinemas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the Wiener Cafe, the coffee house tradition found its way into the Kaisergalerie, Cafe Burger and Cafe Kranzler. Many Tingeltangel restaurants were built, and the beauties of the night could be found on the sidewalks. In the Apollo Theater and the Metropoltheater the revues experienced their heyday until the 20s. The Komische Oper, the Admiralspalast and the Schauspielhaus \u2013 later the Friedrichstadtpalast \u2013 became the epitome of the light muse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the Emperor abdicated at the end of 1918 and Karl Liebknecht proclaimed the \"R\u00e4terepublik\" (the German Soviet Republic), life in Friedrichstra\u00dfe proceeded in the usual way despite the imposition of the state of siege.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of the 20s, 70% of all Berlin film manufacturing companies settled in Friedrichstra\u00dfe, among them the German branch of Metro Goldwyn Mayer Produktion. In 1936, cinemas showed films from all over the world at Friedrichstra\u00dfe 36. Among them, the \"Scala\" as the second oldest cinema in Berlin. (In 2002\/2003, KUNSTWELT e.V. BERLIN invited international artists to deal with the urban space of Friedrichstra\u00dfe as part of the exhibition \"KunstWinter-Berlin\" organized by the association).KunstWinter-Berlin<\/a>\u201d internationale K\u00fcnstler ein, sich mit dem Stadtraum der Friedrichstra\u00dfe auseinander zu setzen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the 30s, the Nazi movement began with the expulsion of the Jews. They had settled in Friedrichstra\u00dfe as doctors, lawyers, civil servants and traders and accounted for 10% of the population. Among them is the wine and delicatessen Kempinski & Co.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Second World War tore deep aisles into Friedrichstra\u00dfe. Since 1949, the GDR functionaries celebrated themselves in Friedrichstra\u00dfe. The Admiralspalast became the political stage of Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel. Friedrichstra\u00dfe station became a transit station and with the \"Tr\u00e4nenpalast\" \u2013 where East Berliners said goodbye to their visit to the West \u2013 the epitome of the division of Berlin and Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the course of the workers' uprising in the GDR on 17 June 1953, Soviet and American tanks faced each other in a threatening backdrop at the former Allied sector border (Checkpoint Charlie) on Friedrichstra\u00dfe. Since then, Checkpoint Charlie has become the border crossing between two world systems and, with the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the epitome of the Cold War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the Mehringplatz in the western part of the 70s was rebuilt by Hans Scharoun and Werner D\u00fcttmann as a residential and business quarter, the eastern part planned a sophisticated prefabricated shopping street in the 80s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the barely completed buildings were replaced by department stores such as Galeries Lafayette and Quartier 206 in the course of the construction boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, Friedrichstra\u00dfe has long since returned to the heart of the capital and is one of the most important shopping streets. The southern Friedrichstadt has once again grown into a media and cultural centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Im Geiste seiner bewegten Geschichte w\u00fcrde die Friedrichstra\u00dfe in ihrer G\u00e4nze durch den PFAD DER VISION\u00c4RE DER WELT (m\/w\/d) und das Engagement aller Mitgliedstaaten der UNESCO eine kosmopolitische, verbindende Idee bekommen. 121 Staaten haben bereits ihren inhaltlichen Beitrag geleistet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Der PFAD DER VISION\u00c4RE (m\/w\/d) w\u00e4chst als Symbol f\u00fcr die Werte und Kulturen der europ\u00e4ischen Gemeinschaft zu einem weltumfassenden Projekt, dem PFAD DER VISION\u00c4RE DER WELT...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ub_ctt_via":"","pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-463","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"featured_image_src":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pfaddervisionaere.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pfaddervisionaere.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pfaddervisionaere.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pfaddervisionaere.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pfaddervisionaere.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=463"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/pfaddervisionaere.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/463\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1157,"href":"https:\/\/pfaddervisionaere.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/463\/revisions\/1157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pfaddervisionaere.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/pfaddervisionaere.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Plan-Friedrichstrasse-deutsch-336x1024.png\")
