Marzahn: Wittenberger Straße

Wittenberger Straße lies in a residential area with apartment buildings and a typical Berlin neighborhood layout. At Wittenberger Straße, the local character comes from the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. The everyday rhythm of Wittenberger Straße is shaped by the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Wittenberger Straße lies in the borough of Marzahn-Hellersdorf, about 12 km northeast of central Berlin. From Wittenberger Straße toward Golliner Straße and Wuhletalstraße, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The character of Wittenberger Straße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Wittenberger Straße a distinctive quality: the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
