Charlottenburg: Hindemithplatz

Hindemithplatz is a dense historic urban quarter in the borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. The local streetscape is chiefly defined by historic buildings and older street patterns; apartment buildings and compact residential blocks; local shops and everyday services; as well as cafés, restaurants and an active street-level scene. The everyday rhythm of Hindemithplatz is shaped by changes in seating, greenery, pedestrian movement and the uses at the edges of the space. Hindemithplatz lies about 6.8 km west of central Berlin. Hindemithplatz merges gradually into Karl-August-Platz and George-Grosz-Platz; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The character of Hindemithplatz is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Hindemithplatz a distinctive quality: a clear public focus for the surrounding streets.
