Can you imagine a street named after an empire? Right here on Reichsstraße, that’s exactly what we have. Reichsstraße, the main shopping street of Neu-Westend, stretches from Theodor-Heuss-Platz to Spandauer Damm. Its name, bestowed on December 8, 1906, commemorates the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871. Before this grand title, it was simply Straße 7a on the Westend development plan. The name Reichsstraße reflects the pride and ambition of a newly unified nation. It’s a link to the past, when Wilhelm I became German Emperor. This act established the German Empire as a constitutional monarchy. This empire included 22 monarchies, three republics, and Alsace-Lorraine. Interestingly, the surrounding streets in Neu-Westend carry the names of the various states of the German Empire. You’ll find Preußenallee, Hessenallee, and Württembergallee, all echoing the era’s national sentiment. Reichsstraße has weathered the storms of history, its name remaining constant through dramatic political shifts. Today, it thrives as a bustling hub of activity. It retains a unique character.
