Lichtenrade: Wittelsbacherstraße

Wittelsbacherstraße is a green residential area with strong recreational qualities in the borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg. The local streetscape is chiefly defined by detached homes and quiet residential streets; parks, mature trees and everyday green space; as well as open fields, gardens and a broad suburban horizon. The everyday rhythm of Wittelsbacherstraße is shaped by the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Wittelsbacherstraße lies about 15 km south of central Berlin. Wittelsbacherstraße merges gradually into Horstwalder Straße and Nahariyastraße; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The immediate streets and open spaces give Wittelsbacherstraße a recognisable local identity of its own. This gives Wittelsbacherstraße a distinctive quality: the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
