The Adlergestell in the Berlin district of Treptow-Köpenick is the longest road in Berlin at 11.9 kilometers. It runs from the district of Niederschöneweide to the district of Schmöckwitz on the southeastern outskirts of the city. The Berlin–Görlitz railway runs parallel to the Adlergestell.
The name has been handed down through the ages. It is known that the term "Gestell" was used for the forest roads cut out in the forest, through which felled timber was transported away. This word meaning lives on in the hunter-language still today.. Where the name-addition "Adler" comes from, is not known. Folk etymology refers to eagles on tree trunks that served as signposts for the Prussian king when he rode to the castle of Königs Wusterhausen. However, it may also refer to the same root as the name of the Adlershoff estate, which gave its name to the village of Adlershof, which is now a Berlin district of Adlergestell.
