Karl-Marx-Allee

The residential buildings in the typical Moscow 'gingerbread style' characterize Europe's only boulevard built after the war! Today, Karl-Marx-Allee, with the two striking towers of Frankfurter Tor, is a protected monument – it is Germany's longest contiguous architectural monument.

The history of the street is varied: On June 17, 1953, the GDR popular uprising took place here, which could only be stopped by the tanks of the Red Army. Tanks were also a common sight here during the GDR parades.

Historical places that still exist along the street today are the Café Sibylle, the Kino International and the Kosmos Cinema. The latter, with 3,400 seats, was the largest cinema in the entire GDR.
