Prenzlauer Allee

It starts at Prenzlauer Tor, formerly the site of a historic city gate on the road to Prenzlau, leading uphill northwards to the border with the Pankow district, where it continues as Prenzlauer Promenade.

In between the dual carriageway run the tracks of the Berlin tram M2 line.

The road was used early on as a long-distance trade route to Prenzlau, hence its later name.

With the design and planning by Salomo Sachs and the approval of a new building on 3 December 1824, it was named Prenzlauer Chaussee and from 1878 was finally elevated to Allee.

A newly founded stock corporation and the Prussian government implemented Sachs' plans.
