Schöneberg: Alvenslebenstraße

The area around Alvenslebenstraße forms part of Schöneberg, characterized by dense residential buildings and a central urban location. At Alvenslebenstraße, the local character comes from the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. The everyday rhythm of Alvenslebenstraße is shaped by the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Alvenslebenstraße lies in the borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg, about 3.8 km southwest of central Berlin. Alvenslebenstraße merges gradually into Gleisdreieck and Frobenstraße; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The character of Alvenslebenstraße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Alvenslebenstraße a distinctive quality: the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
