Gesundbrunnen

Gesundbrunnen is a densely built inner-city district with strong transport connections, shopping centers and a mix of residential and commercial uses. The defining local feature of Gesundbrunnen is the concentration of shops, services, public space and pedestrian routes around a recognizable local focal point. How Gesundbrunnen is used over the course of the day depends on the higher level of everyday activity near the centre and the quick shift toward quieter residential streets. Gesundbrunnen lies in the borough of Mitte, about 3.8 km north of central Berlin. From Gesundbrunnen toward Soldiner Straße and Brunnenstraße, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. Around Gesundbrunnen, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. Together, these elements make its role as a compact local hub serving a much wider part of the surrounding district central to the identity of Gesundbrunnen.
