Westend: Flatowallee

Flatowallee lies near the Olympic grounds in western Berlin and combines sports facilities with open green spaces. The defining local feature of Flatowallee is the campus-like arrangement of major public or specialised buildings and their surrounding open spaces. How Flatowallee is used over the course of the day depends on daily flows of employees, users and visitors alongside the routines of nearby residents. Flatowallee lies in the borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, about 11 km west of central Berlin. Flatowallee merges gradually into Kranzallee and Olympiagelände; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The character of Flatowallee is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Together, these elements make a rhythm shaped by a destination of citywide importance rather than housing alone central to the identity of Flatowallee.
