Alt-Hohenschönhausen: Große-Leege-Straße

Große-Leege-Straße lies in a residential area in Lichtenberg, defined by apartment buildings and everyday local infrastructure. At Große-Leege-Straße, the local character comes from the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. The everyday rhythm of Große-Leege-Straße is shaped by the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Große-Leege-Straße lies in the borough of Lichtenberg, about 6.3 km east of central Berlin. From Große-Leege-Straße toward Landsberger Allee and Orankesee, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The character of Große-Leege-Straße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Große-Leege-Straße a distinctive quality: the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
