At Rankestrasse 24, a plaque commemorates the pioneer of psychoanalysis, Karl Abraham, while another plaque at number 35 commemorates Hermine Heusler-Edenhuizen, women's rights activist and Germany's first practicing gynecologist, who had her practice here from 1911 to 1937. Like many of the surrounding streets, however, Rankestrasse in the 1920s and early 1930s was primarily characterized by the artistic bohemian scene.

Rankestrasse 4 was home to "Schwanneckes Weinstuben" by Viktor Schwanneke, an expensive artists' pub for the city's already established and established artists. Prominent guests included Egon Erwin Kisch, Ernst Rowohlt, Kurt Pinthus, Alfred Kerr, Willi Kollo and Joachim Ringelnatz, but also Fritz Kortner, Werner Krauss, Carl Zuckmayer, Elisabeth Bergner, Ernst Deutsch, Käthe Dorsch, Rudolf Forster, Ödön von Horváth (who celebrated his first successes as Schwannecke's protégé) and Friedrich Hollaender. Schwannecke's had been in existence since 1921 (actually under the name "Weinstuben Stephanie"), and since Schwannecke himself was an actor (with Max Reinhardt, among others, also a frequent guest) and came from a family of actors, he was quickly able to become a regular address in the theater circles he was familiar with. Especially at premieres, the atmosphere there was determined by the theater critics present; Eugen Szatmari described it with the words "Schwannecke turns into a courtroom. The Femegericht of the Berlin Theatres takes up its work and judges without trial rules and public prosecutor.
At the end of Rankestrasse was the Russian restaurant "Allaverdi", which was mainly aimed at the large group of exiled Russians in Berlin. Well-known visitors were Vladimir Nabokov, Maxim Gorky, Boris Pasternak, Konstantin Stanislawski, Sergei Eisenstein, but also Valeska Gert.
