Pankow: Kissingenviertel

Kissingenviertel is a residential area with structured housing estates and green courtyards, reflecting planned development. Kissingenviertel is shaped above all by the deliberate relationship between housing blocks, pedestrian paths and clearly structured shared open space. In Kissingenviertel, the daily character emerges through repeated building types, green courtyards and the separation of through traffic from internal routes. Kissingenviertel lies in the borough of Pankow, about 5.3 km north of central Berlin. From Kissingenviertel toward Pankower Tor and Arnold-Zweig-Straße, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The character of Kissingenviertel is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Within Pankow, Kissingenviertel stands out through the smaller everyday zones that exist inside a large planned layout.
