Kreuzberg: Reichenberger Straße West

Reichenberger Straße West continues the Kreuzberg atmosphere with cafés, bars and a vibrant street culture. At Reichenberger Straße West, the local character comes from the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. The everyday rhythm of Reichenberger Straße West is shaped by the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Reichenberger Straße West lies in the borough of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, about 2.9 km southeast of central Berlin. The transitions from Reichenberger Straße West toward Reichenberger Straße Ost and Lausitzer Platz are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. The immediate streets and open spaces give Reichenberger Straße West a recognisable local identity of its own. This gives Reichenberger Straße West a distinctive quality: the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
