The Harzburger Straße in Berlin branches into two locations. One resides in Pankow with the postal code 13187. This section stretches from Klaustaler Straße to Harzgeroder Straße. The other lies in Blankenburg with the postal code 13129. This part extends from Lautentaler Straße over Ahornallee.

The street’s name comes from Bad Harzburg. It was formerly known as Neustadt-Harzburg until 1892. This town sits at the northern edge of the Harz mountain range.
Heinrich IV ordered the construction of the Harzburg castle. It stood on the Burgberg. This occurred between 1065 and 1068. In 1074 Heinrich IV was forced to destroy parts of his fortresses. Some Harzburg buildings were rebuilt after 1208. But they were destroyed again after the Thirty Years’ War.
A settlement called “Neustadt unter der Harzburg” appeared in 1338. In 1569 a salt spring was discovered. This led to the founding of the Saline Juliushall. It transformed into a spa after 1849.
