Grazer Damm, Cultural heritage street in Schöneberg, Germany
Grazer Damm is a busy street in Schöneberg that stretches across multiple kilometers and is lined with residential complexes on both sides. The six lanes are separated by landscaped median strips that give the route a structured appearance.
The street and its residential complexes were built between 1938 and 1940 and represent among the few surviving large-scale housing projects from that era. The project reflects the urban planning and architectural practice of that time with its systematic block design.
The street name references Graz in Austria and marks the neighborhood as part of a planned residential development. The architecture displays a characteristic pre-war style with several building blocks spread along the route.
The street connects with major transport routes at the Schöneberg highway intersection, where key connections are made. It is easy to reach the route by public transport that departs from this well-connected location.
The spacing between buildings follows regulations from 1935 intended to limit damage from aerial bombardment. The space allowed blast pressure to be absorbed in a controlled manner.
