Hellersdorf: Am Kienberg

Am Kienberg is located near the Gardens of the World in Marzahn, combining residential areas with landscaped parks and elevated viewpoints. The defining local feature of Am Kienberg is the open landscape of paths, mature vegetation and spaces used for walking, play and informal recreation. How Am Kienberg is used over the course of the day depends on seasonal change, longer sightlines and a noticeably quieter rhythm than on nearby built-up streets. Am Kienberg lies in the borough of Marzahn-Hellersdorf, about 12 km east of central Berlin. The transitions from Am Kienberg toward Neue Grottkauer Straße and Teterower Ring are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. Around Am Kienberg, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. Together, these elements make the everyday value of a green space that is more than a visual backdrop central to the identity of Am Kienberg.
