Friedrichsfelde (German pronunciation: [fʁiːdʁɪçsˈfɛldə] ⓘ) is a German locality (Ortsteil) within the borough (Bezirk) of Lichtenberg, Berlin.
The locality was first mentioned in a document of 1265 with the name of Rosenfelde. In 1699 it was renamed Friedrichsfelde after the Prince-Elector Frederick III of Brandenburg. [2] It was an autonomous municipality of the former Niederbarnim district until 1920, when it merged into Berlin under the " Greater Berlin Act". [3]
Located in eastern suburb of Berlin, Friedrichsfelde borders with the localities of Lichtenberg, Rummelsburg, Karlshorst, Marzahn and Biesdorf (both in Marzahn-Hellersdorf district). In its south-eastern corner is situated the " Tierpark Berlin", the second zoo of the city.
As urban rail, Friedrichsfelde is crossed both by S-Bahn and U-Bahn. The stations serving the locality are Friedrichsfelde Ost (lines S5, S7, S75), Friedrichsfelde ( U5), Tierpark (U5) and partly Rummelsburg ( S3). The quarter is also served by the tramway lines M17, 27 and 37 and traversed by the federal highways B1 and B5.
