Puschkinpromenade, Historic promenade in Cottbus, Germany
Puschkinpromenade is an avenue in the northern section of Cottbus's old town, running from Zimmerstraße to Karl-Marx-Straße. The route passes through landscaped green areas with paved paths and open spaces.
The avenue took shape between 1874 and 1878 through major development work. The 1880s saw the construction of ten villas and three rental houses along the route.
The name honors Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. Bronze sculptures stand within the Ehrenhain memorial, a space dedicated to remembering World War II victims.
The site is easy to reach on foot and offers safe walking paths for visitors. Multiple entrance points are available from the streets at both ends of the avenue.
In 1744, two thousand mulberry trees were planted along walls, streets, and public squares. This early green initiative established the foundation for the tree-lined corridor seen today.
