Dahlem: Thielallee

Thielallee lies in Dahlem and is shaped by university buildings, research institutions and a green campus-like environment. At Thielallee, the local character comes from the campus-like arrangement of major public or specialised buildings and their surrounding open spaces. The everyday rhythm of Thielallee is shaped by daily flows of employees, users and visitors alongside the routines of nearby residents. Thielallee lies in the borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf, about 11 km southwest of central Berlin. Thielallee merges gradually into Dahlem and Botanischer Garten; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The immediate streets and open spaces give Thielallee a recognisable local identity of its own. The character of Thielallee is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Thielallee a distinctive quality: a rhythm shaped by a destination of citywide importance rather than housing alone.
