Steglitz: Bergstraße

Bergstraße lies in a dense inner-city environment with residential buildings, local services and a strong urban character. At Bergstraße, the local character comes from the street corridor itself, including building fronts, crossings, everyday movement and the transition into quieter side streets. The everyday rhythm of Bergstraße is shaped by small changes in traffic, ground-floor use, tree cover and the width of the public realm. Bergstraße lies in the borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf, about 8.7 km southwest of central Berlin. From Bergstraße toward Feuerbachstraße and Schloßstraße, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The character of Bergstraße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Bergstraße a distinctive quality: the balance between an active address and the calmer housing behind it.
