Friedenau: Taunusstraße

Taunusstraße lies in a dense urban residential area, characterized by apartment buildings and local infrastructure. The defining local feature of Taunusstraße is the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. How Taunusstraße is used over the course of the day depends on the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Taunusstraße lies in the borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg, about 7.5 km southwest of central Berlin. Taunusstraße merges gradually into Perelsplatz and Rüdesheimer Platz; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. Around Taunusstraße, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. Together, these elements make the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark central to the identity of Taunusstraße.
