The Littenstraße is a street in the Berlin district of Mitte, in the same-named borough, and is one of the oldest transport routes in the capital. It is named after the lawyer Hans Litten, who died by suicide in February 1938 in the Dachau concentration camp after years of imprisonment and torture. Along the Littenstraße, there are numerous historical cultural monuments.
Around 1746, when the fortifications of Berlin were removed, the street emerged as the new Friedrichstraße from the merging of individual alleyways. At that time, it formed a curve from the Waisenbrücke to the Pomeranzenbrücke at Museum Island and crossed through the neighborhoods of Klosterviertel, Marienviertel, and Heilig-Geist-Viertel in Old Berlin. It thus followed the development along the medieval city wall and the King's ditch in front of it. The first buildings constructed along this transport route primarily served military purposes, such as the Garnisonkirche.
