Westend: Kranzallee

Kranzallee lies in a quiet residential area with detached houses and a suburban character. Kranzallee is shaped above all by lower building density, detached homes, private gardens and comparatively little through traffic. In Kranzallee, the daily character emerges through larger plots, mature planting and a slower rhythm than in Berlin’s inner-city blocks. Kranzallee lies in the borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, about 12 km west of central Berlin. The transitions from Kranzallee toward Eichkamp and Flatowallee are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. Around Kranzallee, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. The immediate streets and open spaces give Kranzallee a recognisable local identity of its own. Within Westend, Kranzallee stands out through the sense of privacy and local continuity found at the metropolitan edge.
