Charlottenburg: Amtsgerichtsplatz

Amtsgerichtsplatz is a central square in Charlottenburg, surrounded by residential buildings, shops and judicial institutions. Amtsgerichtsplatz is shaped above all by the relationship between the open square, its surrounding façades, paths and the streets that feed into it. In Amtsgerichtsplatz, the daily character emerges through changes in seating, greenery, pedestrian movement and the uses at the edges of the space. Amtsgerichtsplatz lies in the borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, about 7.4 km west of central Berlin. Amtsgerichtsplatz merges gradually into Lietzensee and Karl-August-Platz; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The immediate streets and open spaces give Amtsgerichtsplatz a recognisable local identity of its own. Within Charlottenburg, Amtsgerichtsplatz stands out through a clear public focus for the surrounding streets.
