Voßstraße

Voßstraße (also sometimes: Voss Strasse or Vossstrasse[3] (see also ß[4]); German pronunciation: [ˈfɔsˌʃtʁaːsə]) is a street in central Berlin, the capital of Germany.

It runs east–west from Ebertstraße to Wilhelmstraße in the borough of Mitte, one street north of Leipziger Straße and very close to Potsdamer Platz.

Incorporating the Borsig Palais within its structure, the Chancellery extended back along the whole length of the Voßstrasse, a distance of 430 metres: its official address was Voßstraße 6.

The building was severely damaged by Allied bombs in February 1945, and the ruins later demolished by the Soviet occupying forces.

On the south (right) side of Voßstrasse, the sole-surviving pre-war building, part of the German Reich Railway Co. offices (Voßstraße 33), can be seen, mostly surrounded by the empty sites of the Wertheim department store and the rest of the Transport Ministry.
