Charlottenburg: Klausenerplatz

Klausenerplatz is a well-known neighborhood in Charlottenburg, valued for its dense Gründerzeit buildings and strong local identity. At Klausenerplatz, the local character comes from the relationship between the open square, its surrounding façades, paths and the streets that feed into it. The everyday rhythm of Klausenerplatz is shaped by changes in seating, greenery, pedestrian movement and the uses at the edges of the space. Klausenerplatz lies in the borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, about 7.8 km west of central Berlin. From Klausenerplatz toward Schlossgarten and Königin-Elisabeth-Straße, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The character of Klausenerplatz is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Klausenerplatz a distinctive quality: a clear public focus for the surrounding streets.
