Neukölln: Flughafenstraße

Flughafenstraße is a major street in Neukölln, characterized by dense housing, retail, multicultural life and strong urban activity. The defining local feature of Flughafenstraße is the street corridor itself, including building fronts, crossings, everyday movement and the transition into quieter side streets. How Flughafenstraße is used over the course of the day depends on small changes in traffic, ground-floor use, tree cover and the width of the public realm. Flughafenstraße lies in the borough of Neukölln, about 4.6 km south of central Berlin. From Flughafenstraße toward Donaustraße and Rollberg, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. Around Flughafenstraße, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. Together, these elements make the balance between an active address and the calmer housing behind it central to the identity of Flughafenstraße.
