Prenzlauer Berg: Anton-Saefkow-Park

Anton-Saefkow-Park is a planned residential area with substantial open space in the borough of Pankow. The local streetscape is chiefly defined by apartment buildings and compact residential blocks; planned housing, courtyards and clearly structured open spaces; parks, mature trees and everyday green space; as well as sports grounds and recreational facilities. How Anton-Saefkow-Park is used over the course of the day depends on seasonal change, longer sightlines and a noticeably quieter rhythm than on nearby built-up streets. Anton-Saefkow-Park lies about 3.0 km northeast of central Berlin. The transitions from Anton-Saefkow-Park toward Michelangelostraße and Bötzowstraße are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. Together, these elements make the everyday value of a green space that is more than a visual backdrop central to the identity of Anton-Saefkow-Park.
