Moabit: Elberfelder Straße

Elberfelder Straße lies in a dense residential area with apartment buildings and local neighborhood structures. At Elberfelder Straße, the local character comes from the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. The everyday rhythm of Elberfelder Straße is shaped by the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Elberfelder Straße lies in the borough of Mitte, about 4.7 km west of central Berlin. From Elberfelder Straße toward Spreestadt and Hansaviertel, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The immediate streets and open spaces give Elberfelder Straße a recognisable local identity of its own. The character of Elberfelder Straße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Elberfelder Straße a distinctive quality: the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
