Moabit: Lüneburger Straße

Lüneburger Straße lies in a central residential area with apartment buildings and proximity to government and office districts. The defining local feature of Lüneburger Straße is the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. How Lüneburger Straße is used over the course of the day depends on the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Lüneburger Straße lies in the borough of Mitte, about 2.9 km west of central Berlin. The transitions from Lüneburger Straße toward Großer Tiergarten and Thomasiusstraße are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. The character of Lüneburger Straße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Together, these elements make the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark central to the identity of Lüneburger Straße.
