Eberswalder Straße in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg district is a relatively short street. At only about 500m, it would hardly be worth mentioning – but it is still a very special part of Berlin.
At its western end, Eberswalder Straße joins Bernauer Straße – at its eastern end, it joins Danziger Straße, or first the large intersection of Schönhauser Allee, Kastanienalle and Eberswalder Straße.
The subway station at this junction is named after Eberswalder Straße. This already shows that this street deserves at least a little attention.
If we start by walking west from the intersection or Eberswalder Straße subway station, the first thing we notice is how relatively busy this intersection is. This is where the subway line U2 meets the tram line M1, but you can also change to the M10 or tram line 12 around the corner.
There is a wide range of snack options right at the junction, including in the subway station – several kebab stands and Asian snack bars compete for customers. On the corner of Schönhauser Alle and Eberswalder is the bakery Zeit für Brot.
A little further on is a well-stocked board game store. The term “board game store” is perhaps a bit of a misnomer on the one hand, but on the other it is very accurate: there is an incredibly large selection of board games to be found here. And it’s also the name of the store in German language: Brettspielgeschäft. Further information can be found on the homepage at brettspielgeschaeft.berlin.
On the opposite side is one of the few remaining old original Berlin pubs. Behind it is the Tipsy Bear, which used to be the Ping Pong Club. Here you could play table tennis late into the night while enjoying good music and a drink or two. The Tipsy Bear is also a good place to enjoy a drink or two, but as far as I know there is no longer a table table tennis table (tipsybearberlin.com).
There are a few smaller late-night stores ‘Späti’ and kiosks around it. A little further on is the St. Elisabeth-Stift retirement home run by Stephanus gGmbH.
On the right-hand side you will find two small, fine restaurants. One is the Schust (www.restaurant-schust.de) with predominantly German cuisine, and just behind it is the Chay35 with vegan cuisine.
Here we are almost at the end of Eberswalder Straße. On the right is the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark, behind which is a turning loop for the M10 streetcar line. On the left is the kindergarten at Hirschhof, behind it the building of Police Headquarters 1 – Section 15.
Eberswalder Straße then becomes Bernauer Straße directly at Mauerpark.
