Guided Story

Here you are at a historical intersection in the heart of the Tiergarten, where Straße des 17. Juni meets Bellevueallee. This crossing is known as the Kleiner Stern, a lesser-known counterpart to the nearby Großer Stern. Before 1945, Bellevueallee was a drivable road. Since then, its significance has diminished with the closure of the avenue to traffic. If you look around, you'll notice the proximity to the expansive Tiergarten, just 195 meters to the west. It's always worth taking a stroll through this beautiful park.
