After the intersection with Grenzallee and Dammweg, Sonnenallee passes several allotments (<i>Kleingartenanlagen)</i> and two large housing estates, leading to its south-easterly endpoint at Baumschulenstraße. </p><p>Several city squares lie along Sonnenallee, such as Hermannplatz, Hertzbergplatz, and Venusplatz. The entire length of the street originally had trees running down both sides and a <a href="/wiki/Road_verge" title="Road verge">verge</a> down the middle, which until 1965 housed a tram line. In the 1980s, this central strip was removed in places to make way for further lanes or parking spaces.

At the beginning the street was known simply as <i>Straße 84</i> (<i>Street No. 84</i>). In 1893, five years after the death of <a href="/wiki/Frederick_III,_German_Emperor" title="Frederick III, German Emperor">Kaiser Friedrich Wilhelm</a> the street was renamed in his honour. In the 1920s the street was extended to the south east and named <i>Sonnenallee</i>. </p><p>During the <a href="/wiki/East_Germany" title="East Germany">communist period</a> the street was intersected by the <a href="/wiki/Berlin_Wall" title="Berlin Wall">Berlin Wall</a> including a <a href="/wiki/Berlin_border_crossings" title="Berlin border crossings">border crossing</a>. </p><p>Nowadays, Sonnenallee is home to a large immigrant population of <a href="/wiki/Middle_East" title="Middle East">Middle Eastern</a> origin, particularly of <a href="/wiki/Syrians_in_Germany" title="Syrians in Germany">Syrian</a>, earning it the nickname of "Arab Street".<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The area has also gained a reputation for crime, an image which is possibly promoted by crime TV series such as <a href="/wiki/4_Blocks_(TV_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="4 Blocks (TV series)">4 Blocks</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cultural_references">Cultural references</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sonnenallee_(Berlin)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Cultural references"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The 1999 <a href="/wiki/Sonnenallee" title="Sonnenallee">film of the same name</a> and <a href="/wiki/Am_k%C3%BCrzeren_Ende_der_Sonnenallee" title="Am kürzeren Ende der Sonnenallee">its corresponding book</a> portrayed a <a href="/wiki/Ostalgie" title="Ostalgie">nostalgic</a> view of the <a href="/wiki/East_Germany" title="East Germany">GDR</a> in the 1970s, which earned it national notoriety in Germany.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sonnenallee_(Berlin)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Shahd Wari: Palestinian Berlin: Perception and Use of Public Space.
