One of my favourite streets in Berlin. Brilliant example of Stalinist architecture . Stroll down to Frankfurter Tor from Strausberger Platz and don't miss the information boards scattered along the way

Exciting walk, full of surprises in socialist germany. Former avenue of the GDR, the Kino International, Café Moskau, the old Tatra Motokov advertisement are definitely worth seeing.

One of the best straight line allees in Berlin, to walk in the fall or spring. Just feels right.

Superb examples of communist architecture on this street. Cafe sybille on same street holds a permanent exhibition about the renovation of the buildings into "wedding cake palaces ". Worth the walk!

Der Sozialismus lebt hier noch. Die Allee fühlt sich an wie ein Denkmal vergangener Zeiten.

zu seinem 70. Geburtstag 1949 erhielt Josef Stalin von der noch jungen DDR ein Geschenk : Die vormalige Große Frankfurter Straße wurde in Stalinallee umbenannt.
