Moabit: Zwinglistraße

Zwinglistraße lies in a residential area with apartment buildings and a calm neighborhood atmosphere. At Zwinglistraße, the local character comes from the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. The everyday rhythm of Zwinglistraße is shaped by the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Zwinglistraße lies in the borough of Mitte, about 5.0 km west of central Berlin. Zwinglistraße merges gradually into Elberfelder Straße and Emdener Straße; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. Around Zwinglistraße, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. The immediate streets and open spaces give Zwinglistraße a recognisable local identity of its own. This gives Zwinglistraße a distinctive quality: the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
