Prenzlauer Berg: Malmöer Straße

Malmöer Straße lies in Prenzlauer Berg and reflects dense Gründerzeit development with cafés and neighborhood life. The defining local feature of Malmöer Straße is the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. How Malmöer Straße is used over the course of the day depends on the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Malmöer Straße lies in the borough of Pankow, about 3.6 km north of central Berlin. Malmöer Straße merges gradually into Norweger Viertel and Arnimplatz; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The character of Malmöer Straße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Together, these elements make the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark central to the identity of Malmöer Straße.
