Britz: Jahnstraße

Jahnstraße lies in a dense residential area with apartment buildings and typical inner-city neighborhood structures. Jahnstraße is shaped above all by the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. In Jahnstraße, the daily character emerges through the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Jahnstraße lies in the borough of Neukölln, about 7.0 km south of central Berlin. The transitions from Jahnstraße toward Park am Buschkrug and Glasower Straße are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. The character of Jahnstraße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Around Jahnstraße, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. Within Britz, Jahnstraße stands out through the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
