Tempelhof: Gontermannstraße

Gontermannstraße forms part of a dense inner-city residential fabric, defined by apartment buildings and a typical Berlin neighborhood structure. Gontermannstraße is shaped above all by the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. In Gontermannstraße, the daily character emerges through the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Gontermannstraße lies in the borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg, about 5.1 km southwest of central Berlin. The transitions from Gontermannstraße toward Paradestraße and Cheruskerstraße are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. Around Gontermannstraße, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. Within Tempelhof, Gontermannstraße stands out through the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
