Reinickendorf: Meller Bogen

Meller Bogen forms part of a residential estate with structured housing blocks and green open spaces. Meller Bogen is shaped above all by the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. In Meller Bogen, the daily character emerges through the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Meller Bogen lies in the borough of Reinickendorf, about 8.3 km northwest of central Berlin. Meller Bogen merges gradually into Reinickes Hof and Scharnweberstraße; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The character of Meller Bogen is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Around Meller Bogen, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. Within Reinickendorf, Meller Bogen stands out through the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
