Oranienburger Straße and the nearby New Synagogue were the center of Jewish culture before 1933.

The original Jewish Museum in Berlin was founded on Oranienburger Straße in 1933, but was closed soon thereafter, in 1938, by the Nazi regime.

The Kunsthaus Tacheles ( Art House Tacheles ), was an art center in Berlin, Germany, a large ( 9000 square meter ) building on Oranienburger Straße in the district known as Mitte.

The building complex stretched from Friedrichstraße to Oranienburger Straße.

A new street was planned on the site and would have created a shortcut between Oranienburger Straße and Friedrichstraße.

One week later, the sequestrator ordered an almost 3 m tall wall to be built, separating the Oranienburger Straße from the building's courtyard.

On 2 July 1990, Oranienburger Straße was the first ghost station on the Nord-Süd-S-Bahn to reopen.

The Neue Synagoge (" New Synagogue ") was built 1859 – 1866 as the main synagogue of the Berlin Jewish community, on Oranienburger Straße.

The front of the building, facing Oranienburger Straße, is richly ornamented with shaped bricks and terracotta, accented by coloured glazed bricks.

The left building and the second right building of the New Synagogue, also property of Berlin's Jewish Community, survived the war intact and it was in one of them, in Oranienburger Straße 28, that surviving Jews formally reconstituted Jüdische Gemeinde zu Berlin, Berlin's mainstream Jewish congregation in 1946.

Most of the scenes were shot at Tegel Airport, Karl-Marx-Allee, Alexanderplatz, Oranienburger Straße and the Jewish Cemetery Weißensee in Berlin.

Although the New Synagogue is still an anchor for Jewish history and culture, Oranienburger straße and surrounding areas are increasingly known for the shopping and nightlife.
