Pankow: Trelleborger Viertel

Trelleborger Viertel is a residential area in Prenzlauer Berg known for its historic buildings and quiet, structured layout. The defining local feature of Trelleborger Viertel is the surviving older street pattern, plot structure and building lines that remain legible beneath later development. How Trelleborger Viertel is used over the course of the day depends on the overlap of historic fabric with present-day housing, shops and local institutions. Trelleborger Viertel lies in the borough of Pankow, about 4.2 km north of central Berlin. The transitions from Trelleborger Viertel toward Spiekermann Straße and Rodenbergstraße are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. The immediate streets and open spaces give Trelleborger 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 Trelleborger Viertel.
