Hellersdorf: Neue Grottkauer Straße

Neue Grottkauer Straße is a central axis in Marzahn, characterized by large housing estates, retail and public infrastructure. Neue Grottkauer Straße is shaped above all by the street corridor itself, including building fronts, crossings, everyday movement and the transition into quieter side streets. In Neue Grottkauer Straße, the daily character emerges through small changes in traffic, ground-floor use, tree cover and the width of the public realm. Neue Grottkauer Straße lies in the borough of Marzahn-Hellersdorf, about 13 km east of central Berlin. From Neue Grottkauer Straße toward Am Kienberg and Boulevard Kastanienallee, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The immediate streets and open spaces give Neue Grottkauer Straße a recognisable local identity of its own. Within Hellersdorf, Neue Grottkauer Straße stands out through the balance between an active address and the calmer housing behind it.
