Friedrichsfelde: Erieseering

Erieseering forms part of a planned residential estate with high-rise buildings and structured urban design. The defining local feature of Erieseering is the deliberate relationship between housing blocks, pedestrian paths and clearly structured shared open space. How Erieseering is used over the course of the day depends on repeated building types, green courtyards and the separation of through traffic from internal routes. Erieseering lies in the borough of Lichtenberg, about 8.1 km east of central Berlin. The transitions from Erieseering toward Tierpark and Volkradstraße are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. The character of Erieseering is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Together, these elements make the smaller everyday zones that exist inside a large planned layout central to the identity of Erieseering.
