Spreeweg

Spreeweg, formerly known as Spreeallee, is a historic street in Berlin's Tiergarten district. It runs from the Großer Stern through the Großer Tiergarten to the Spree River. The route was laid out around 1700 as part of the design of the Großer Stern and already appears on city maps from 1832. The path originally continued along the banks of the Spree, but the construction of the Lutherbrücke in 1892 and later renamings in the 20th century shortened Spreeweg to its present length. Notable sights along the way include Schloss Bellevue, built in 1786, and the Bundespräsidialamt (Office of the Federal President), completed in 1998, which make the area an important political and historical center of Berlin.
