Neukölln: Weiße Siedlung

Weiße Siedlung is a modernist housing estate characterized by uniform architecture and open green courtyards. At Weiße Siedlung, the local character comes from the deliberate relationship between housing blocks, pedestrian paths and clearly structured shared open space. The everyday rhythm of Weiße Siedlung is shaped by repeated building types, green courtyards and the separation of through traffic from internal routes. Weiße Siedlung lies in the borough of Neukölln, about 6.3 km southeast of central Berlin. Weiße Siedlung merges gradually into Plänterwald West and Schulenburgpark; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. Around Weiße Siedlung, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. This gives Weiße Siedlung a distinctive quality: the smaller everyday zones that exist inside a large planned layout.
