Hakenfelde: Am Forstacker

Am Forstacker is a residential area with a quieter setting, characterized by housing developments and nearby green spaces. At Am Forstacker, the local character comes from the open landscape of paths, mature vegetation and spaces used for walking, play and informal recreation. The everyday rhythm of Am Forstacker is shaped by seasonal change, longer sightlines and a noticeably quieter rhythm than on nearby built-up streets. Am Forstacker lies in the borough of Spandau, about 15 km west of central Berlin. Am Forstacker merges gradually into Hakenfelde Nord and Amorbacher Weg; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The immediate streets and open spaces give Am Forstacker a recognisable local identity of its own. The character of Am Forstacker is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Am Forstacker a distinctive quality: the everyday value of a green space that is more than a visual backdrop.
