Lankwitz: Süd

Lankwitz Süd is shaped by quieter residential streets, detached houses and a suburban atmosphere. The defining local feature of Lankwitz Süd is lower building density, detached homes, private gardens and comparatively little through traffic. How Lankwitz Süd 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. Lankwitz Süd lies in the borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf, about 11 km south of central Berlin. Lankwitz Süd merges gradually into Marienfelder Allee Nordwest and Belßstraße; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The character of Lankwitz Süd is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Together, these elements make the sense of privacy and local continuity found at the metropolitan edge central to the identity of Lankwitz Süd.
