Mahlsdorf: Pilgramer Straße

Pilgramer Straße is a green residential area with strong recreational qualities in the borough of Marzahn-Hellersdorf. The local streetscape is chiefly defined by detached homes and quiet residential streets; major roads, traffic flows and visible transport infrastructure; parks, mature trees and everyday green space; as well as open fields, gardens and a broad suburban horizon. How Pilgramer Straße is used over the course of the day depends on the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Pilgramer Straße lies about 15 km east of central Berlin. From Pilgramer Straße toward Elsensee and Mittelheide, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The character of Pilgramer Straße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Together, these elements make the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark central to the identity of Pilgramer Straße.
