Spremberger Straße

Spremberger Straße is a heritage street in central Cottbus that runs between Brandenburger Platz and Altmarkt with historic buildings lining both sides. It functions as a lively mixed-use thoroughfare with shops, cafes, and residential properties throughout its length.

The street originated in 1724 as Spremberger Gasse and served as part of an important trade route. It connected Bohemia and Saxony to Frankfurt an der Oder and remained a key commercial passage for generations.

The street displays buildings from different periods with architectural elements spanning neoclassical, neo-baroque, and art nouveau styles. These diverse architectural influences shape how the street looks and feels when you walk through it.

The street is easy to navigate and provides access to Spremberger Tower with an observation platform. Plan time to explore the various shops and cafes while taking in the architectural details along the way.

Local residents affectionately call this central thoroughfare 'Sprem' in everyday conversation. The Lower Sorbian name Grodkojska droga reflects the area's historical connection to its Slavic heritage.
