How Komponistenviertel Lankwitz is used over the course of the day depends on larger plots, mature planting and a slower rhythm than in Berlin’s inner-city blocks. Komponistenviertel Lankwitz lies in the borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf, about 10.0 km southwest of central Berlin. From Komponistenviertel Lankwitz toward Königsberger Straße and Stadtpark, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge.

Together, these elements make the sense of privacy and local continuity found at the metropolitan edge central to the identity of Komponistenviertel Lankwitz.
