Lichterfelde: Süd

Lichterfelde Süd is undergoing major redevelopment, transforming former border and industrial land into new residential districts. Industrial scale and surviving historical elements create an atmosphere shaped equally by production and memory. In Lichterfelde Süd, the daily character emerges through surviving large-scale structures, successive construction phases and new everyday routes through formerly specialised sites. Lichterfelde Süd lies in the borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf, about 13 km southwest of central Berlin. The transitions from Lichterfelde Süd toward Goerzwerke and Königsberger Straße are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. Around Lichterfelde Süd, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. Within Lichterfelde, Lichterfelde Süd stands out through the continuity between an older working landscape and new urban life.
