Hauptstraße 155 in Berlin, a seemingly ordinary building flanked by commercial establishments, holds historical significance as David Bowie's former residence. Bowie lived in a seven-room apartment on the first floor from 1976 to 1978, a period of immense creative output. During his time there, he produced the iconic "Berlin Trilogy" albums: Low, “Heroes”, and Lodger. Bowie moved to Berlin seeking refuge from drug addiction and personal struggles, drawn to the city's unique atmosphere and artistic scene. He chose this apartment after a previous tenant was evicted for painting the rooms black. Bowie famously repainted the apartment white at his own expense, marking his arrival as a Berliner. He also brought Iggy Pop, who lived with him briefly before moving to a separate dwelling, with whom Bowie later produced influential albums. Bowie’s anonymity in Berlin allowed him to evade the public eye, though his fame grew with the music created there. He often cycled to Hansa Studios, inspired by views of the Berlin Wall, including a kiss witnessed prompting the song “Heroes”. Other local spots he frequented included various bars and cafes. A Ziggy Stardust-era graffiti and a commemorative plaque mark the building, though a proposal to rename the street David-Bowie-Straße has stalled.
