Our Service > Info Berlin-Hansaviertel


History in brief:
The “New Hansaviertel”, a product of the International Builders Fair of 1957, is still famous around the world as a monument of modern architecture and urban development. The quarter as a whole, including the public park, is under a protection order.
With the “Old Hansaviertel”, founded 1872 – 1900, the area, initially a quiet, aristocratic quarter, has emerged as a highly favoured location right at the border of the Tiergarten, Berlin´s central park.
As a result of the events of World War II, 75% of the quarter was destroyed in November 1943. An impression of the manorial character of the Hansaviertel at that time can still be found at Claudiusstrasse, Flensburger Strasse and Holsteiner Ufer.
Due to its perfect location right between the Center-West and the Center-East of the city, neighbouring the Tiergarten, the government and the embassy district, the Hansaviertel has become even more popular and important after German Reunification in 1989.
