THE ROAD(S) TO THE KING'S HEART
Today in Berlin: April 16, 1827
On this day in 1827 several streets in a new Berlin district - Friedrich-Wilhelm-Stadt - were given proper names. These were: Karlstraße, Albrechtstraße, Luisenstraße, Marienstraße and Schumannstraße. But for the first one they still bear those names. Karlstraße became Reinhardtstraße to honour the famous theatre director who owned and/or ran several great Berlin theatres in the area.
