Wilhelmstrasse ((ドイツ語:Wilhelmstraße), see ß〔For the spelling, see, ''inter alia'', Paul Seabury: ''The Wilhelmstrasse'', Joachim Joesten, ''The "New" Wilhelmstrasse'', and the works of George Frost Kennan. The ''Oxford Illustrated Dictionary'' gives only this spelling; so do the Second Edition of the ''Oxford English Dictionary'', and all five of its quotations. 〕) is a major thoroughfare in the central Mitte and Kreuzberg districts of Berlin, Germany. Until 1945, it was recognised as the centre of the government, first of the Kingdom of Prussia, later of the unified German Reich, housing in particular the Reich Chancellery and the Foreign Office. The street's name was thus also frequently used as a metonym for overall German governmental administration, much as the term "Whitehall" is often used to signify the British governmental administration as a whole; in English, "the Wilhelmstrasse" usually referred to the German Foreign Office.〔See ''Daisy, Princess of Pless'' by Herself, p. 63. ''OED'', "Wilhelmstrasse" 〕 ==Course== The Wilhelmstraße runs south from the Spree riverside through the historic Dorotheenstadt quarter to the Unter den Linden boulevard near Pariser Platz and Brandenburg Gate, where it takes on a line slightly east of south through adjacent Friedrichstadt, until its juncture with Stresemannstraße near Hallesches Tor in Kreuzberg, an overall distance of about . Further south of Unter den Linden it passes the nowadays built-over former Wilhelmplatz vis-à-vis Voss-Straße, it crosses Leipziger Straße near Leipziger and Potsdamer Platz, and Niederkirchnerstraße, known until after World War II as ''Prinz-Albrecht-Straße''. At its southern end, Wilhelmstraße originally met with Friedrichstraße, which runs roughly parallel to the east, on the Belle-Alliance circus, before the street course was westerly redirected to the Stresemannstraße junction about 1970. Between Unter den Linden and parallel Behrenstraße, the road is closed for motor vehicles as a protection of the Embassy of the United Kingdom.
