Moabit: Emdener Straße

Emdener Straße lies in Moabit and is shaped by residential buildings and a dense urban environment. At Emdener Straße, the local character comes from the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. The everyday rhythm of Emdener Straße is shaped by the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Emdener Straße lies in the borough of Mitte, about 5.0 km west of central Berlin. From Emdener Straße toward Bremer Straße and Beusselkiez, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The immediate streets and open spaces give Emdener Straße a recognisable local identity of its own. The character of Emdener Straße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Emdener Straße a distinctive quality: the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
