Westend: Olympiagelände

Olympiagelände is a historic sports complex in western Berlin, known for its monumental architecture and large open spaces. Olympiagelände is shaped above all by the campus-like arrangement of major public or specialised buildings and their surrounding open spaces. In Olympiagelände, the daily character emerges through daily flows of employees, users and visitors alongside the routines of nearby residents. Olympiagelände lies in the borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, about 12 km west of central Berlin. From Olympiagelände toward Flatowallee and Freiheit, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The character of Olympiagelände is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Within Westend, Olympiagelände stands out through a rhythm shaped by a destination of citywide importance rather than housing alone.
