Köpenick: Kietzer Feld/Nachtheide

Kietzer Feld/Nachtheide forms a transition between residential development and open natural landscapes on Berlin’s edge. At Kietzer Feld/Nachtheide, the local character comes from the open landscape of paths, mature vegetation and spaces used for walking, play and informal recreation. The everyday rhythm of Kietzer Feld/Nachtheide is shaped by seasonal change, longer sightlines and a noticeably quieter rhythm than on nearby built-up streets. Kietzer Feld/Nachtheide lies in the borough of Treptow-Köpenick, about 18 km southeast of central Berlin. The transitions from Kietzer Feld/Nachtheide toward Müggelheim and Wendenschloß are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. The immediate streets and open spaces give Kietzer Feld/Nachtheide a recognisable local identity of its own. This gives Kietzer Feld/Nachtheide a distinctive quality: the everyday value of a green space that is more than a visual backdrop.
