Fennpfuhl: Ost

Fennpfuhl Ost forms part of a large residential estate in Lichtenberg, characterized by high-rise buildings, green spaces and planned urban structures. The defining local feature of Fennpfuhl Ost is the deliberate relationship between housing blocks, pedestrian paths and clearly structured shared open space. How Fennpfuhl Ost is used over the course of the day depends on repeated building types, green courtyards and the separation of through traffic from internal routes. Fennpfuhl Ost lies in the borough of Lichtenberg, about 5.3 km east of central Berlin. Fennpfuhl Ost merges gradually into Herzbergstraße and Fennpfuhlpark; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The immediate streets and open spaces give Fennpfuhl Ost a recognisable local identity of its own. Together, these elements make the smaller everyday zones that exist inside a large planned layout central to the identity of Fennpfuhl Ost.
