Karl-Marx-Allee is a street named after the philosopher and social theorist Karl Marx in the Berlin districts of Mitte and Friedrichshain.

The longer, Friedrichshain section is characterized by apartment blocks and towers in a style mix of Socialist Classicism and Prussian Schinkel School, which was built in the 1950s as Stalinallee. The tower buildings at Frankfurter Tor and Strausberger Platz by architect Hermann Henselmann are the urban highlights of the complex. The section in Mitte is dominated by prefabricated buildings from the 1960s.

The street was originally called Große Frankfurter Straße west of the Frankfurt Gate of the Berlin Customs Wall (about intersection with the street of the Paris Commune) and was renamed Stalinallee on 21 December 1949 on the occasion of the celebrations of Josef Stalin's 70th birthday together with the Frankfurter Allee to the east.
Since 13 November 1961 it has been called Karl-Marx-Allee. At the same time, Frankfurter Allee was separated again under its old name, but since then it no longer begins at the original Frankfurter Tor, but at the square named of the same name in 1957 further east.
The residential buildings, which extend from Strausberger Platz to beyond the Frankfurter Tor into Frankfurter Allee, were designed as "workers' palaces" and were intended to represent the strength and engineering skills of the GDR.
