Friedrichsfelde: Zachertstraße

Zachertstraße lies in Lichtenberg and is defined by residential buildings and proximity to industrial and commercial zones. Zachertstraße is shaped above all by the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. In Zachertstraße, the daily character emerges through the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Zachertstraße lies in the borough of Lichtenberg, about 7.1 km east of central Berlin. Zachertstraße merges gradually into Volkradstraße and Weitlingkiez; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The immediate streets and open spaces give Zachertstraße a recognisable local identity of its own. The character of Zachertstraße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Within Friedrichsfelde, Zachertstraße stands out through the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
