Frankfurter Allee

Frankfurter Allee extends for 3.6 kilometers through eastern Berlin, connecting multiple districts with its wide thoroughfare and architectural elements.

The street, established in 1705, underwent multiple name changes, including Stalinallee from 1949 to 1961 during the German Democratic Republic period.

The street features socialist classicism architecture with monumental eight-story buildings and twin towers at Frankfurter Tor designed by Hermann Henselmann.

The U5 subway line runs beneath the street with five stations, while both Frankfurter Allee and Lichtenberg stations provide S-Bahn connections.

A statue of Stalin stood along the street from 1951 until its removal during the de-Stalinization process in 1961.
