Originally, the Schonhauser Allee was a wide driveway that led from Berlin to the Schonhausen Palace. This explains the origin of its name. However, it has changed several times: the Pankovskaya country road, the Schonshaus road, the Schonhaus tract, the highway from the Schonhaus gate, the highway to Pankow, the highway to Niederschenhausen. The modern name was fixed at the beginning of the 19th century. The road, laid in the Middle Ages, stretched through the forest. It was cut down, freeing up the territory for agriculture. The road becomes especially important in 1691. The nearby Niederschenhausen estate was bought by King Frederick I for the Brandenburg general Joachim Ernst von Grumbkov. Linden trees were planted along the edges of the road to make it pleasant for dignitaries to ride on it. In 1708, at the beginning of the Schonhauser Allee, at the Schonhaus Gate, the Royal Folwark was erected and the first buildings were built. Gradually, both sides of the street began to build up. Along the Schonhauser Allee, one can find wonderful examples of architecture and sculptures from different eras. A striking example is the Gethsemane church, built in 1891-1893. designed by August Horta. In front of its western portal there is a sculpture Christ, brought here from the Church of Reconciliation, demolished in 1985.
