Köpenick: Friedrichshagener Straße

Friedrichshagener Straße forms part of a residential area with local infrastructure and proximity to green and water landscapes in eastern Berlin. The defining local feature of Friedrichshagener Straße is the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. How Friedrichshagener Straße is used over the course of the day depends on the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Friedrichshagener Straße lies in the borough of Treptow-Köpenick, about 14 km southeast of central Berlin. From Friedrichshagener Straße toward Güterbahnhof Köpenick and Allende I, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. Together, these elements make the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark central to the identity of Friedrichshagener Straße.
