Rigaer Straße

Rigaer Straße is a street in Friedrichshain, Berlin.

The street, named after the Latvian capital Riga, runs from Bersarinplatz in the west to Frankfurter Allee in the east.

Many of the houses stand under historic preservation, although, some of the older houses on the street have turned into squats.

Famous residents of Rigaer Straße include German author Theodor Plievier, who, around 1924, lived at number 68.
