Marzahn: Marzahner Chaussee

Marzahner Chaussee is a major traffic and industrial corridor, lined with commercial sites and adjacent residential areas. At Marzahner Chaussee, the local character comes from large plots, workshops, production or logistics uses and the roads or rail infrastructure that support them. The everyday rhythm of Marzahner Chaussee is shaped by work-related traffic, functional buildings and sharp transitions to smaller residential streets. Marzahner Chaussee lies in the borough of Marzahn-Hellersdorf, about 8.5 km east of central Berlin. The transitions from Marzahner Chaussee toward Herzbergstraße and Springpfuhl are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. The character of Marzahner Chaussee is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Marzahner Chaussee a distinctive quality: Berlin’s working landscape and its close contact with ordinary neighbourhood life.
