Siemensstadt: Nonnendammallee

Nonnendammallee is a major industrial and commercial corridor in Siemensstadt, dominated by large-scale production and office sites. The defining local feature of Nonnendammallee is large plots, workshops, production or logistics uses and the roads or rail infrastructure that support them. How Nonnendammallee is used over the course of the day depends on work-related traffic, functional buildings and sharp transitions to smaller residential streets. Nonnendammallee lies in the borough of Spandau, about 10 km west of central Berlin. From Nonnendammallee toward Branitzer Platz and Rohrdamm, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The immediate streets and open spaces give Nonnendammallee a recognisable local identity of its own. Together, these elements make Berlin’s working landscape and its close contact with ordinary neighbourhood life central to the identity of Nonnendammallee.
