Siemensstadt: Rohrdamm

Rohrdamm runs through Siemensstadt and is strongly shaped by industrial heritage, technology companies and large-scale facilities. Rohrdamm is shaped above all by large plots, workshops, production or logistics uses and the roads or rail infrastructure that support them. In Rohrdamm, the daily character emerges through work-related traffic, functional buildings and sharp transitions to smaller residential streets. Rohrdamm lies in the borough of Spandau, about 10.0 km west of central Berlin. The transitions from Rohrdamm toward Gartenfeld and Nonnendammallee are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. Around Rohrdamm, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. The immediate streets and open spaces give Rohrdamm a recognisable local identity of its own. Within Siemensstadt, Rohrdamm stands out through Berlin’s working landscape and its close contact with ordinary neighbourhood life.
