Straße des 17. Juni

Straße des 17. Juni is part of the large east-west axis in Berlin and part of federal highways 2 and 5. The street is located in the districts of Tiergarten and Charlottenburg. It is dedicated to the commemoration of the popular uprising in the GDR in 1953. As a further memorial to German unity, a three meter long memorial was erected to the west of what was then the intersection of Straße des 17.June and Relief Street (today: Yitzhak-Rabin-Straße) near the Soviet Memorial immediately after the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 set up the Board of Trustees indivisible Germany.

Direct connection between Ernst-Reuther-Platz to the Brandenburg Gate. Although a busy road but there is in return also a useful bicycle strip. And last but not least, there are views of some of Berlin's most important sights, including the Victory Column and the Great Soviet War Memorial. Small detail: the row of lanterns left and right of the street dates back to the time of National Socialism and was designed by Albert Speer.

How beautiful this road actually is, you can see from the top of the Goldelse (Victory Column)!
