Zehlendorf: Berlepschstraße

Berlepschstraße forms part of a quieter residential area with low-rise housing and access to nearby green spaces. At Berlepschstraße, the local character comes from the continuity of residential streets, courtyards, entrances and short routes to everyday services. The everyday rhythm of Berlepschstraße is shaped by the relationship between building scale, street greenery and the small spaces used repeatedly by residents. Berlepschstraße lies in the borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf, about 15 km southwest of central Berlin. The transitions from Berlepschstraße toward Düppel and Zehlendorf Mitte are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. The character of Berlepschstraße is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Berlepschstraße a distinctive quality: the quality of ordinary daily life rather than a single landmark.
