Niederschönhausen: Parkstraße

Parkstraße typically runs through residential areas and is shaped by apartment buildings and proximity to green spaces. Parkstraße is shaped above all by the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. In Parkstraße, the daily character emerges through the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Parkstraße lies in the borough of Pankow, about 6.0 km north of central Berlin. The transitions from Parkstraße toward Pastor-Niemöller-Platz and Schlosspark are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. The character of Parkstraße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Around Parkstraße, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. Within Niederschönhausen, Parkstraße stands out through the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
