Wedding: Afrikanische Straße

Afrikanische Straße forms part of Wedding’s African Quarter, known for its themed street names, residential buildings and strong neighborhood character. Afrikanische Straße is shaped above all by the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. In Afrikanische Straße, the daily character emerges through the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Afrikanische Straße lies in the borough of Mitte, about 6.6 km northwest of central Berlin. The transitions from Afrikanische Straße toward Jungfernheide/Plötzensee and Kameruner Straße are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. The character of Afrikanische Straße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Within Wedding, Afrikanische Straße stands out through the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
