Marzahn: Marzahner Promenade

Marzahner Promenade is a central pedestrian zone with shops, services and surrounding high-rise housing estates. Marzahner Promenade is shaped above all by the concentration of shops, services, public space and pedestrian routes around a recognizable local focal point. In Marzahner Promenade, the daily character emerges through the higher level of everyday activity near the centre and the quick shift toward quieter residential streets. Marzahner Promenade lies in the borough of Marzahn-Hellersdorf, about 10 km east of central Berlin. The transitions from Marzahner Promenade toward Alt-Marzahn and Gewerbegebiet Bitterfelder Straße are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. The character of Marzahner Promenade is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Within Marzahn, Marzahner Promenade stands out through its role as a compact local hub serving a much wider part of the surrounding district.
