Siemensstadt: Siemensdamm

Siemensdamm runs through Siemensstadt and is closely tied to industrial heritage, technology companies and major transport routes. The defining local feature of Siemensdamm is large plots, workshops, production or logistics uses and the roads or rail infrastructure that support them. How Siemensdamm is used over the course of the day depends on work-related traffic, functional buildings and sharp transitions to smaller residential streets. Siemensdamm lies in the borough of Spandau, about 9.3 km west of central Berlin. From Siemensdamm toward Nonnendammallee and Rohrdamm, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The character of Siemensdamm is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Together, these elements make Berlin’s working landscape and its close contact with ordinary neighbourhood life central to the identity of Siemensdamm.
