Biesdorf: Buckower Ring

Buckower Ring forms part of a large residential area with high-rise buildings and planned housing structures in southern Berlin. At Buckower Ring, the local character comes from the deliberate relationship between housing blocks, pedestrian paths and clearly structured shared open space. The everyday rhythm of Buckower Ring is shaped by repeated building types, green courtyards and the separation of through traffic from internal routes. Buckower Ring lies in the borough of Marzahn-Hellersdorf, about 11 km east of central Berlin. The transitions from Buckower Ring toward Oberfeldstraße and Teterower Ring are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. The character of Buckower Ring is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Buckower Ring a distinctive quality: the smaller everyday zones that exist inside a large planned layout.
