Haselhorst: Haveleck

Haveleck is a small riverside area along the Havel, known for its natural setting and limited development. Haveleck is shaped above all by the relationship between water, shorelines, access paths and the housing or open space immediately around them. In Haveleck, the daily character emerges through views, recreational routes and abrupt transitions between built blocks and a more open waterside setting. Haveleck lies in the borough of Spandau, about 13 km west of central Berlin. The transitions from Haveleck toward Zitadellenweg and Eiswerder are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. Around Haveleck, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. The immediate streets and open spaces give Haveleck a recognisable local identity of its own. Within Haselhorst, Haveleck stands out through the stronger sense of space created by the water within the surrounding district.
