Friedrichsfelde: Massower Straße

Massower Straße lies in a residential area with compact housing and a structured, everyday urban environment. The defining local feature of Massower Straße is the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. How Massower Straße 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. Massower Straße lies in the borough of Lichtenberg, about 7.4 km east of central Berlin. From Massower Straße toward Rosenfelder Ring and Zachertstraße, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The immediate streets and open spaces give Massower Straße a recognisable local identity of its own. Together, these elements make the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark central to the identity of Massower Straße.
