Neukölln: Bouchéstraße

Bouchéstraße is a dense historic urban quarter in the borough of Neukölln. The local streetscape is chiefly defined by historic buildings and older street patterns; apartment buildings and compact residential blocks; local shops and everyday services; as well as cafés, restaurants and an active street-level scene. How Bouchéstraße is used over the course of the day depends on the overlap of historic fabric with present-day housing, shops and local institutions. Bouchéstraße lies about 4.5 km southeast of central Berlin. The transitions from Bouchéstraße toward Alt-Treptow and Weichselplatz are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. Around Bouchéstraße, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. Together, these elements make the continuity of the original settlement within modern Berlin central to the identity of Bouchéstraße.
