Hansastraße/Buschallee

Weißensee

Named after Hansastraße, recalling the Hanseatic League, and Buschallee, honouring Felix Busch.

Hansastraße was formed from existing roads by 1988 to link the new Hohenschönhausen estates with the city centre; its name refers to the housing construction combine from Rostock that built the flats. Buschallee (‘Allee’ = avenue), named in 1915, honours Felix Busch (1871–1938), district administrator (Landrat) of Niederbarnim. In 1933 the Nazis forced him to sell his estate.
