Tegel: Schumacher-Quartier
City part: Reinickendorf | State: 2025
Schumacher-Quartier is a major new development on the former Tegel Airport site, focused on sustainable housing and innovative urban planning. Schumacher-Quartier is shaped above all by the visible overlap of former industrial, railway or infrastructural land with new housing, offices and public space. In Schumacher-Quartier, the daily character emerges through surviving large-scale structures, successive construction phases and new everyday routes through formerly specialised sites. Schumacher-Quartier lies in the borough of Reinickendorf, about 7.6 km northwest of central Berlin. Schumacher-Quartier merges gradually into Afrikanische Straße and Scharnweberstraße; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The immediate streets and open spaces give Schumacher-Quartier a recognisable local identity of its own. Within Tegel, Schumacher-Quartier stands out through the continuity between an older working landscape and new urban life.
