Marzahn: Golliner Straße

Golliner Straße lies in a peripheral residential zone with low-density housing and direct access to surrounding open landscapes. The defining local feature of Golliner Straße is lower building density, detached homes, private gardens and comparatively little through traffic. How Golliner Straße is used over the course of the day depends on larger plots, mature planting and a slower rhythm than in Berlin’s inner-city blocks. Golliner Straße lies in the borough of Marzahn-Hellersdorf, about 13 km east of central Berlin. From Golliner Straße toward Wittenberger Straße and Rosenbecker Straße, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The character of Golliner Straße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Together, these elements make the sense of privacy and local continuity found at the metropolitan edge central to the identity of Golliner Straße.
