Lichtenberg: Herzbergstraße

Herzbergstraße is a mixed-use corridor in Lichtenberg, combining industrial sites, services and adjacent residential areas. The defining local feature of Herzbergstraße is large plots, workshops, production or logistics uses and the roads or rail infrastructure that support them. How Herzbergstraße is used over the course of the day depends on work-related traffic, functional buildings and sharp transitions to smaller residential streets. Herzbergstraße lies in the borough of Lichtenberg, about 6.8 km east of central Berlin. Herzbergstraße merges gradually into Marzahner Chaussee and Bornitzstraße; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The character of Herzbergstraße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Together, these elements make Berlin’s working landscape and its close contact with ordinary neighbourhood life central to the identity of Herzbergstraße.
