Adlergestell

Folk etymology refers to eagles on tree trunks that served as signposts for the Prussian king when he rode to the castle of Königs Wusterhausen.

The street began at that time in Berlin at the Alte Jakobstraße, continued along the Köpenicker Straße, through the middle of the Cöllnische Heide and past today's Berlin-Grünau station.

[2] Today's Adlergestell begins as a continuation of the Michael-Brückner-Straße (formerly: Grünauer Straße) in Niederschöneweide at the overpass of the S-Bahn line to Spindlersfeld with the property number 73.

Until 1962, it ran from Adlershof via Köpenicker Straße and the Altglienicke district, then over the expressway (today: Am Seegraben), which was opened in April 1962, along the Bundesstraße 96a.

[11] According to the answer to a written question by the member of parliament Maik Penn (CDU) from 2019, traffic accidents on the Adlergestell have been particularly frequent in the years before, in which cyclists were injured, some of them severely.

[12] On June 30, 2020, the Bezirksamt of Treptow-Köpenick established a pop-up cycle path on the right of the three lanes on a 2.5-kilometer stretch between Sterndamm and Rudower Chaussee out of town.
