Marienfelde: Kirchstraße

Kirchstraße is a green residential area with strong recreational qualities in the borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg. The local streetscape is chiefly defined by historic buildings and older street patterns; detached homes and quiet residential streets; major roads, traffic flows and visible transport infrastructure; as well as parks, mature trees and everyday green space. In Kirchstraße, the daily character emerges through the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Kirchstraße lies about 12 km south of central Berlin. Kirchstraße merges gradually into Marienfelde Nordost and Marienfelder Allee Nordwest; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The character of Kirchstraße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Within Marienfelde, Kirchstraße stands out through the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
