Pankow: Arnold-Zweig-Straße

Arnold-Zweig-Straße forms part of a planned residential area in eastern Berlin, with structured housing and local infrastructure. The defining local feature of Arnold-Zweig-Straße is the deliberate relationship between housing blocks, pedestrian paths and clearly structured shared open space. How Arnold-Zweig-Straße is used over the course of the day depends on repeated building types, green courtyards and the separation of through traffic from internal routes. Arnold-Zweig-Straße lies in the borough of Pankow, about 4.8 km north of central Berlin. Arnold-Zweig-Straße merges gradually into Kissingenviertel and Trelleborger Viertel; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The immediate streets and open spaces give Arnold-Zweig-Straße a recognisable local identity of its own. Together, these elements make the smaller everyday zones that exist inside a large planned layout central to the identity of Arnold-Zweig-Straße.
