Neukölln: Ganghoferstraße

Ganghoferstraße lies in Neukölln and reflects the district’s dense structure, multicultural population and active street life. At Ganghoferstraße, the local character comes from the overlap of dense housing, shops, services, active ground floors and strong transport routes. The everyday rhythm of Ganghoferstraße is shaped by frequent pedestrian movement and the quick change between busy main streets and quieter courtyards. Ganghoferstraße lies in the borough of Neukölln, about 5.3 km southeast of central Berlin. From Ganghoferstraße toward Alt-Rixdorf and Hertzbergplatz, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The immediate streets and open spaces give Ganghoferstraße a recognisable local identity of its own. The character of Ganghoferstraße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Ganghoferstraße a distinctive quality: the intensity of everyday city life at a distinctly local scale.
