Staaken: Pillnitzer Weg

Pillnitzer Weg forms part of a quiet residential area with detached houses and a distinctly suburban character. Pillnitzer Weg is shaped above all by lower building density, detached homes, private gardens and comparatively little through traffic. In Pillnitzer Weg, the daily character emerges through larger plots, mature planting and a slower rhythm than in Berlin’s inner-city blocks. Pillnitzer Weg lies in the borough of Spandau, about 18 km west of central Berlin. The transitions from Pillnitzer Weg toward Döberitzer Weg and Rudolf-Wissell-Großsiedlung are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. Around Pillnitzer Weg, 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 Pillnitzer Weg a recognisable local identity of its own. Within Staaken, Pillnitzer Weg stands out through the sense of privacy and local continuity found at the metropolitan edge.
