Torstraße

Torstraße is a two-kilometer-long street that runs north of the Platz. Its original line corresponds to the course of the Berlin custom wall. It owes its name to several gateways on the Berlin customs wall, including the Schönhauser Tor, which is directly adjacent to the square.
The following buildings are located on it:
* No. 6-8: Roter Stiefel
*No. 10-34: "Grauer Frachter", front part of the Nazi-Bauten
*No. 40: Emil Haus
*No. 44: Suhrkamp Verlagshaus
=== history ===
All the parcels on the south side of the street were connected to properties on Linienstraße at the turn of the century. Due to urban planning requirements, the buildings on Linienstraße were no higher than four storeys, while the buildings on Lothringer Straße (how the Street was called by that time), partly directly connected to the buildings on Linienstraße, were a lot higher. In the course of the first phase of the demolition of the Scheunenviertel some houses were demolished, the road regulation dragged on for several years and was still a topic in the city council in 1913. https://digital.zlb.de/viewer/image/16046606_1913/83/
