Rudow: Frauenviertel

Frauenviertel is a residential neighborhood characterized by apartment buildings, local streets and a defined community structure. At Frauenviertel, the local character comes from the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. The everyday rhythm of Frauenviertel is shaped by the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Frauenviertel lies in the borough of Neukölln, about 15 km southeast of central Berlin. From Frauenviertel toward Waßmannsdorfer Chaussee and Waltersdorfer Chaussee Ost, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The immediate streets and open spaces give Frauenviertel a recognisable local identity of its own. This gives Frauenviertel a distinctive quality: the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
