Wilmersdorf: Prager Platz

Prager Platz is a redeveloped square in Wilmersdorf, characterized by modern buildings, retail and a structured urban design. The defining local feature of Prager Platz is the relationship between the open square, its surrounding façades, paths and the streets that feed into it. How Prager Platz is used over the course of the day depends on changes in seating, greenery, pedestrian movement and the uses at the edges of the space. Prager Platz lies in the borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, about 5.8 km southwest of central Berlin. Prager Platz merges gradually into Nikolsburger Platz and Bayerischer Platz; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. Around Prager Platz, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. Together, these elements make a clear public focus for the surrounding streets central to the identity of Prager Platz.
