Prenzlauer Berg: Senefelderstraße

Senefelderstraße in Prenzlauer Berg is shaped by historic buildings, cafés and a lively neighborhood atmosphere. At Senefelderstraße, the local character comes from the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. The everyday rhythm of Senefelderstraße is shaped by the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Senefelderstraße lies in the borough of Pankow, about 2.7 km northeast of central Berlin. Senefelderstraße merges gradually into Helmholtzplatz and Thälmannpark; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The immediate streets and open spaces give Senefelderstraße a recognisable local identity of its own. The character of Senefelderstraße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Senefelderstraße a distinctive quality: the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
