Berlin South

Speers Schwerbelastungskörper was ment to test if the Berlin grounds could carry the large buildings that were planned. (pictures: the Hitlerpages, 2017)

Germania, Triumphal Arch and South Station (22-23)

Location: Arch: Bridge between the Dudenstrasse and the Kolonnenstraße. Station: At the end of the road, somewhere in the area of the General-Pape-Strasse

Today: Never realised

Adolf Hitler and Albert Speer had great plans with Berlin. An impressive road with large buildings had to run from the Platz der Republik to the General-Pape-Strasse. On the Platz der Republik a very large building, the Great Hall, was to be built. At the location where a bridge between the Dudenstrasse and the Kolonnenstraße is today an Arc de Triomphe was to be built. At the end of the road, somewhere in the area of the General-Pape-Strasse, a large station (South Station) had to arise. Although building had begun, for instance in the Reichstag-area, and families were already forced to leave their houses, not much of the plan was realised. Today for instance the changed location of the Siegessäule and the heavy load testing body on the corner of the General-Pape-Straße and the Löwenhardtdamm are among the few leftovers of the plans to build Germania.

After 1935 it was located at the Königliches Wilhelms-Gymnasium on the Bellevuestrasse 15 (near the Potsdammer Platz). From August 1944 until January 1945 the trials of the Volksgericht took place in the plenary chamber of the Kammergericht. The conspirators of 20 July 1944 were put on trial here. Roland Freisler was one of the presidents of the Volksgerichtshof (from August 1942 until February 1945).

Bendlerblock/Reichswehrministerium (15)

Location: Stauffenbergstraße (originally named Bendlerstrasse), south of the Tiergarten

The Bendlerblock was erected between 1911 and 1914 and used by the Reich Navy Office. During the Weimar Republic the building served as the seat of the Reichswehr Command. The building serves as secondary office of the German Federal Ministry of Defence. It also is a major memorial for the plot against Hitler's life on July 20, 1944. In the courtyard of the building the conspirators (including Graf von Stauffenberg) were executed. On March 13, 1937 Hitler held a speech for Generalfeldmaschall von Blomberg, who served the army 40 years.

Haus des Deutschen Fremdenverkehrs (Runde Platz, Germania) (16)

Location: Potsdammer Straße, right across the road from the Sigismundstraße. On the location of the Staatbibliotheek.

Today: Not longer there. The Staatsbibliotheek is there now. The building was ruined in the war. The ruïnes were taken away in the 50’s.

The house of German tourism was part of the plans for the new Germania Hitler was going to built. In fact it was one of the few parts of Germania that was almost finished.On June 14, 1938 Hitler layed the first stone of the German House of Tourisme on the Runde Platz. More information about Germania can be found here: kunst.gymszbad.de.

Hotel Sanssouci (17)
Location: Linkstrasse 37, corner Reichpietschufer/Linkstrasse
Today: Modern buildings
On October 14, 1930 Hitler held a speech at the hotel Sanssouci. Earlier that year (on May 21-22) Hitler had a fight with Otto Strasser at this hotel. Strasser belonged to the ‘Sozialrevolutionären Flügel’ (social revolutionairy wing) of the NSDAP that stood opposite to Hitler's NSDAP from South-Germanys. Strasser wanted the NSDAP to become more of an anti-kapitalistic movement. On July 4, 1930 Strasser left the NSDAP (or was kicked out by Goebbels...).
Hitler must have stayed at this hotel on a few other occasions too. It is said that when William Patrick Hitler talked to the English press about Adolf Hitler and family-bussinness, he was invited to Berlin. In presence of his father, Alois, and his ant Hitler met him in a hotel in the Linkstrasse to strongly advise him not to talk to the press again.

Hotel Excelsior (18)
Location: Askanischer Platz, across the street from the Anhalter Bahnhof
Today: Gone
The Hotel Excelsior was one of the biggest and most modern hotels in the world. Here the Nazi Party wanted to go on the eve of their assumption of power. The owner of the hotel must have turned down the honour. The hotel Kaiserhof was their second choice for that event.

Today: Not sure.
Alois Hitler, the half brother of Adolf Hitler, had a wineshop/bar at the Leonhardstrasse.

House of Victoria von Dirksen
Location: Margarethenstraße 11. Bezirk W10.
Today: Scharounstrasse, Tiergarten. Near the Matthäikirche. The house is not there anymore. The area was severly damaged at the end of the war.
In this street Hitler sometimes met with his ‘mütterliche Freundin’ Victoria von Dirksen. She used to organise political gatherings. The NSDAP gathered at her house too.

On this picture the Margarethenstrasse is in the background, left from the church. As seen from here, the street ran about a hundred meters behind the Matthäikirche. The picture was taken facing the area were the Sony Centre is today. (picture: copyrights unknown)

There was not much left of the buildings and houses in the area after the war. (picture: copyrights unknown)

The Matthäikirche was rebuilt after the war. (picture: the Hitlerpages, 2014)

Tailor Wilhelm Holters

Location: Tauentzienstrasse 16

Today: Shops (Douglas a.o.)

Wilhelm Holters made Hitler’s uniforms.  His shop was located at the Tauentzienstrasse 16, in Berlin-West. He must have had an office at Wilhelmstrasse 49. Because that address was part of Goebbels Ministry of Propaganda, he probably had room inside the ministry.

Today: Gone. There’s a park (the Görlizer Park) and a swimming pool now. The Spreewaldplatz used to be the Bahnhofsvorplatz. The U-bahnhof in the area is still called Görlitzer Bahnhof.

This station was the beginning of the track through Cottbus to Görlizt. Hitler used this Bahnhof for instance for his trip to Czechoslovakia. A picture below shows him returning from there.

Bahnhof Grunewald (38)
Location: Am Bahnhof Grunewald
Today: Station with monument for the Jewish people who got transported to concentration camps from this station, called Gleis 17 (Track 17)

On December 6, 1944 Adolf Hitler took his train from this station to an unknown station in the Werra area, on his way to his Führerheadquarters Adlerhorst.

The head building of Bahnhof Grunewald is still there.

Practice Dr. Karl Friedrich Dermietzel (39)
Location: Berliner Straße 97
Today: Unknown

Hitler went to doctor Dermietzel at least once, most likely during the political campaign in 1932. There are documents that prove that Hitler saw him, but it is unclear if Hitler went to his practice or if the doctor came to see him. On April 4, 1932 Hitler was in Berlin for speeches. This could be the date he saw the dotor.

Berliner Alte Philharmonie (40)
Location: Bernburger Straße 22/Köthener Strasse
Today: The first Philharmonie in Berlin was located at the Bernburger Straße 22. In 1898 the Beethovensaal on the Köthener Straße was added to the Philharmonie. After the war the area was ruined. Today apartment buildings are on the grounds of the former Philharmonie. A new Philharmonie was built on the Kemperplatz between 1960 an 1963.

In November 1936 Adolf Hitler saw a concert here of the Londoner Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Thomas Beecham. On February 10, 1937 Hitler saw Wilhelm Furtwangler’s return to the concert platform here.

Location: Lützowstraße 75/76

Today: The J.S.Bach-Saal and the Schumann-Saal were located here. On the ground-floor of a restaurant a third hall was made, the Feurich Saal. The location was bombed and only the Schumann-Saal survived. It is hidden after the modern facade of Lützowstraße 76. The Feurich-Saal must have been where the so called ‘Abholtrese’ (hard to translate, but it is a location where you pick up things) is now.

Adolf Hitler held a speech at the Feurich-Saal on May 2, 1927.

Victoria-Speicher-Block 1/Depot Entartete Kunst (42)

Location: Köpenicker Strasse 24a

Today: The warehouse was destroyed, a memorial plaque is placed at the entrance of the property.

The Victoria-Speicher-Block 1 was once used as a storage for 17000 pieces of what the nazi’s called ‘degenarated art’. Adolf Hitler visited the warehouse on January 13, 1938 together with Joseph Goebbels and Heinrich Hoffmann.
