In the News (Wed 3 Dec 08)

  
  Friedrichstrasse, Berlin
Friedrichstrasse in Berlin is some 3.5km/2.2mi long, extending from Oranienburger Tor in the north to the Hallesches Tor on Mehringplatz in the south.
In the time of Frederick William I, Friedrichstrasse was used as the direct line of approach to the parade ground on Tempelhofer Feld, and under William II it was still used by the troops on their way back to the castle from maneuvers.
To the south of the railroad station, Friedrichstrasse meets Unter den Linden, which during Berlin's heyday was one of the city's liveliest spots.

 Checkpoint Charlie and Friedrichstrasse
The Berlin wall fell in 1989 and Germany was reunified in 1990.
Friedrichstrasse (strasse = street), on which the checkpoint is located, is the most legendary street in the whole city.
It combines the architecture of the New Berlin with the tradition of the "Golden Twenties." In the Twenties, the 3.5 km long street was the location for pleasure palaces, cafés, theatres and variety theatres such as the famous "Wintergarten." After the division of the city, the Wall also cut through this street.

 Friedrichstrasse-Passagen Berlin by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners
Providing an underground shopping connection between the Galeries Lafayette and a third Friedrichstrasse building with retail space, this mixed-use (retail, residential, and office) building playfully announces itself on the predominantly staid Friedrichstrasse, once the most important shopping street in Berlin.
Quartier 206 is one among a large number of parcels along Friedrichstrasse which have been redeveloped in a concerted effort to return the street to its former glory.
The atrium’s intricately patterned floor, free-standing curved stair and escalators, and fine detailing are signature Pei Cobb Freed.

 Galeries Lafayette Berlin by Jean Nouvel
Nouvel is well known for his slick-sensuous glass surfaces.
Here, he combined his familiar explorations of transparent and translucent surfaces with attempts to interpret the historic department store building type—of which the Paris Galeries is a commonly-cited example—and to provide a unique face to Friedrichstrasse, historically (and attempting to regain its former glory as) Berlin’s fanciest shopping street.
Nouvel’s interpretation of the department store building type replaces the famous atrium of the Paris Galeries with a number of glass cone-shaped volumes.
