Van groot historisch belang bij het ontstaan van de DDR. De Frankfurter allee werd, na de bezetting van de Russen, de Stalinallee. Later werd en is nu nog altijd Karl Marxallee. Deze allee moest visitekaartje worden voor de nieuwe DDR worden en zijn. Langs beide zijden prachtige, imposante gebouwen in typische architectuur. Desondanks opvallend weinig interesse van toeristen, wat op zich helemaal niet erg is. Prima en interessante rondleiding per voet van Tobias. Enthousiaste gids die veel achtergrondinformatie geeft. Echte aanrader voor geïnteresseerden van de DDR-geschiedenis.
