Charlottenburg-Nord: Jungfernheide/Plötzensee

This area combines the Jungfernheide park and Plötzensee lake, offering large green spaces, water access and recreational use within the city. The defining local feature of Jungfernheide/Plötzensee is the relationship between water, shorelines, access paths and the housing or open space immediately around them. How Jungfernheide/Plötzensee is used over the course of the day depends on views, recreational routes and abrupt transitions between built blocks and a more open waterside setting. Jungfernheide/Plötzensee lies in the borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, about 7.7 km west of central Berlin. From Jungfernheide/Plötzensee toward Paul-Hertz-Siedlung and TXL, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. Together, these elements make the stronger sense of space created by the water within the surrounding district central to the identity of Jungfernheide/Plötzensee.
