Pankow: Tiroler Viertel

Tiroler Viertel is a dense historic urban quarter in the borough of Pankow. The local streetscape is chiefly defined by historic buildings and older street patterns; apartment buildings and compact residential blocks; planned housing, courtyards and clearly structured open spaces; as well as parks, mature trees and everyday green space. How Tiroler Viertel is used over the course of the day depends on the overlap of historic fabric with present-day housing, shops and local institutions. Tiroler Viertel lies about 4.6 km north of central Berlin. Tiroler Viertel merges gradually into Norweger Viertel and Florakiez; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The immediate streets and open spaces give Tiroler Viertel a recognisable local identity of its own. Together, these elements make the continuity of the original settlement within modern Berlin central to the identity of Tiroler Viertel.
