0\\ I am starting a new, possibly never-ending, thread on history of mostly-economic thought places in Berlin. I also created a map which will link to this thread and which I’ll continually update: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1u3Eby4e3_cYk5sa1s7C5PlhB7-5AlQsv&usp=sharing. (There will be no systematic order of new places though.)
History of Mostly-Economic Thought Places in Berlin - Google My Maps

This is a map of places which have some relevance to the history of (mostly-)economic thought in Berlin, Germany. For further information, see https://twitter.com/_RSchumacher/status/10631005201209...

2\\ Berlin’s boulevard Unter den Linden played a crucial role in the development of trade theory according to Bertil Ohlin. Presumably, there was less construction, less traffic, fewer people. Unlikely anyone would come up with an inspiration there today (except for solitary life)

5\\ Houses that would fit in this thread were often destroyed, especially in WWII. But you can get a commemorative plaque at the adjacent house, at least if your name is Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel: his home from 1828 until 1831 at Am Kupfergraben, opposite the Museum Island.

6\\ Nearby, a quotation from Hegel’s most famous “student” adorns the lobby of the main building of the Humboldt University: “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it.” The 11th and last thesis of Karl Marx’s theses on Feuerbach.

7\\ Statue of Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels, double life-sized. Marx’s lap is all shiny from tourists touching and sitting on it. Once located opposite the now demolished Palace of the Republic in East Berlin, it has been moved due to subway construction to a less noticeable spot.
8\\ Samuel von Pufendorf (1632-1694) is buried in Berlin’s oldest surviving (though largely reconstructed) church, St. Nicholas’ Church (Nikolaikriche). The inscription says roughly: “His remains rest here, his soul is received in heaven, his glory flies over the whole globe.”

9\\ Friedrich Engels lived in 1841/2 in this house (Dorotheenstraße 43, no. 56 at the time). He moved to Berlin to perform a one-year voluntary military service, in order to get away from his family and to attend lectures at the university (actually not allowed for a soldier).

10\\ Location of the artillery barracks, where Friedrich Engels was based in 1841/2. New buildings (1898-1901) replaced the ones from Engels’ time. In the former GDR, the barracks were named Friedrich-Engels-Kaserne. Today, the buildings have no military use anymore.

11 \\ Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) lived from 1743-1766 in a two-story house with a large garden standing at Behrenstraße 21. As my Twitter feed in the last days shows, Euler’s name is much discussed by economists these days. Today, the Bavarian “embassy” in Berlin is located here.

60a\\ Some more on Rosa Luxemburg: She came to Berlin in May 1898. The picture shows her in 1900. After a few days of (exhausting) apartment hunting, she found an apartment in a garden house at Cuxhavener Straße 2, in an "aristocratic district", just next to the Tiergarten.

61a\\ In May 1899, after Luxemburg had lived nearly a year on Cuxhavener Straße, her landlady threw a tantrum and made Luxemburg a scene. Luxemburg packed and moved out the same day, feeling lousy as she reported to Leo Jogisches. The picture shows her between 1895 and 1900.

61b\\ The next day, Luxemburg found a new apartment, moving from the northern to the southern edge of Tiergarten park, to Lützowstraße 51. The house is long gone. Today, there is a modern apartment complex on its location. Luxemburg stayed here only for four weeks.

62a\\ After three months mostly outside Berlin, in August 1899 Rosa Luxemburg needed a new apartment. She didn’t find any close to Tiergarten Park. Finding the air in the rest of Berlin too unbearable, she ended up at Hauff-Straße 4 in Friedenau, just outside Berlin at the time.
62b\\ Luxemburg stayed here for two months. She reported to Leo Jogisches that she enjoyed the view of trees, forests, and fields from her windows and the tranquillity. It seems the house was replaced a few years later by a newer building, which stand on the site today.

64a\\ In late 1901, Luxemburg moved to an apartment at Cranachstraße 58 (2nd floor). She lived here for nearly 10 years, cohabiting with her cat Mimi. She initially moved here with Leo Jogisches. She had a maid, who slept in the kitchen. Picture: Luxemburg in her apartment (1907)

64b\\ After Luxemburg and Jogisches had parted privately, Kostja Zetkin became a frequent guest. Lenin supposedly visited her here. Picture: Luxemburg with Kostja Zetkin in 1907 reportedly on her apartment's balcony (which apparently does not exist anymore).
64c\\ Since the owner of the house objected to a commemorative plaque at the house front, a parking space in front of the house was converted into a green space to install a memorial plaque.

65a\\ In August 1911, Luxemburg moved to Lindenstraße 2 (today Biberacher Weg 2) in Südende. Südende had only been founded in 1872 as a suburb outside of Berlin (at the time). She would live here until her death in 1919. The pictures shows here in 1915.

67a\\ Another memorial related to Rosa Luxemburg is the “Spartakus Stele”, located where Karl Liebknecht’s law office stood. Here, on January 1, 1916, the first (illegal) Reichskonferenz of the Gruppe Internationale took place, which afterwards became known as Spartakusgruppe.

67b\\ Luxemburg was imprisoned at the time, but her principles about the tasks of an international social democracy were adopted by the group. Later that year, this group started publishing the so-called Spartakusbriefe, to which Luxemburg was a central contributor.

67c\\ Funny story about the history of this memorial: The GDR wanted to have a memorial for the Spartakusbund (Spartakus league), which emerged out of the Spartakusgruppe in 1918, for its 40th anniversairy at the place where it was founded. But this place was in West Berlin…
67d\\ Thus, the GDR chose this spot instead, wrongly claiming that this was the spot where the Spartakusbund was founded (as is written on the monument). After the German reunification, the building next to the memorial was demolished and the memorial was put under a wooden panel.
67e\\ New buildings were built next to the memorial, which ended up next to a children’s playground and the wooden panel was taken off. Today, the memorial is a bit hard to spot, since it is in the backyard of a new building…

67f\\ You have to press the memorial button at the entrance (basically a door opener) and walk to the backyard. Not sure many people pass by or are even aware of this memorial. But it is still accessible and stands, as far as I know, on a public green space.

68a\\ After the Spartacist uprising in early January 1919 was defeated, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht were hiding, fearing for their lives. They did not leave Berlin, but changed hideouts regularly. Their last hideout was at Mannheimer Str. 43 (today no. 27).
