Johannisthal: West

Johannisthal West is defined by residential areas and former industrial sites, with ongoing redevelopment and proximity to Adlershof. Large functional spaces meet older urban fragments here, producing a rough-edged and historically layered setting. How Johannisthal West is used over the course of the day depends on surviving large-scale structures, successive construction phases and new everyday routes through formerly specialised sites. Johannisthal West lies in the borough of Treptow-Köpenick, about 10.0 km southeast of central Berlin. Johannisthal West merges gradually into Späthsfelde and Johannisthal Ost; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The immediate streets and open spaces give Johannisthal West a recognisable local identity of its own. Together, these elements make the continuity between an older working landscape and new urban life central to the identity of Johannisthal West.
