Friedrichshain: Revaler Straße

Revaler Straße in Friedrichshain is a hotspot for nightlife and culture, with clubs, bars and creative spaces in former industrial sites. The defining local feature of Revaler Straße is large plots, workshops, production or logistics uses and the roads or rail infrastructure that support them. How Revaler Straße is used over the course of the day depends on work-related traffic, functional buildings and sharp transitions to smaller residential streets. Revaler Straße lies in the borough of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, about 4.0 km east of central Berlin. From Revaler Straße toward Stralauer Kiez and Boxhagener Platz, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The character of Revaler Straße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Together, these elements make Berlin’s working landscape and its close contact with ordinary neighbourhood life central to the identity of Revaler Straße.
