Microlocation Elsenstrasse

Nothing is worth more than a good location. The project "Elsenstraße 74" is located in the middle of Berlin's trendy district Neukölln. Stores for daily needs, a variety of restaurants and cafés as well as cultural and public facilities such as theaters, cinemas, schools and kindergartens are in the immediate vicinity. Due to the proximity to the subway station Rathaus Neukölln (U7) and relevant bus lines, the location is excellently connected to the public transport network and the city center can be reached within 30 minutes. Spacious green areas such as Treptower Park and Görlitzer Park as well as small parks are within walking distance and invite to recreation and sports activities.

Discover the surroundings

Where diversity meets innovation - this aptly describes the district of Neukölln and thus the location of the "Elsenstrasse 74" project. Neukölln is characterized by remarkable ethnic diversity, which fosters a pronounced openness to change and development among the population. The real estate market in Neukölln has also seen remarkable development in recent years. Due to its vibrant neighborhoods, multicultural atmosphere and proximity to other popular Berlin neighborhoods such as Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain, Neukölln has become a sought-after address for real estate investors and apartment seekers. The rising demand for housing has led to a significant increase in property values, especially in up-and-coming neighborhoods like Neukölln. Old industrial areas and vacant buildings are being converted into modern apartments, loft apartments and office space to meet the needs of the growing population and business community.

Treptower Park

Treptower Park stretches along the banks of the Spree River over an area of about 88 hectares, making it one of the largest parks in Berlin. The park itself offers a wealth of recreational opportunities. There are extensive lawns, perfect for picnics and relaxation, as well as numerous hiking trails that lead along the riverbank and through dense forests. One of the most prominent landmarks in Treptower Park is the imposing Soviet Memorial. This monument was built in 1949-1954 and serves as a memorial to Soviet soldiers who died in World War II. The monumental ensemble impresses with a larger-than-life statue of a Soviet soldier protecting a German child and a long avenue of oak trees leading to a raised obelisk.

Görlitzer Park

Görlitzer Park, colloquially known as "Görli," is one of the large parks and recreational areas in the adjacent Berlin district of Kreuzberg. It was created in the late 1980s and early 1990s after the demolition of the railroad facilities of the old Görlitzer Bahnhof. Since then, only the nearby Görlitzer Bahnhof subway station has borne the name Görlitzer Bahnhof. In the 14-hectare Görlitzer Park there is, among other things, a children's farm, several sports, play and football fields, two viewing mountains and a small lake. A special highlight of Görlitzer Park are the urban community gardens, where residents grow vegetables and herbs. These green oases give the park a unique atmosphere and promote community bonding.

Tempelhofer Feld

Originally, Tempelhofer Feld Berlin was a parade and drill ground. On weekends and holidays - as soon as the military cleared the square - Berliners flocked from Berlin to Tempelhof in their thousands to spend their free time. In the early 1920s, Tempelhof Airport was built there. After the airport closed in 2008, Berlin reclaimed the 386-hectare open space and one of the world's largest centrally located buildings for public use. Today, the area offers a six-kilometer bike, skater and jogging track, two and a half hectares of barbecue area, a dog run of about four hectares and a huge picnic area.

KINDL - Center for Contemporary Art

The center is located on the historic grounds of the former Kindl brewery in Berlin-Neukölln, where it has been showing around five exhibitions a year since 2016. The ensemble of rooms, consisting of the machine house, brewhouse, tower and boiler house, is a hybrid cultural venue where architectural history and contemporary art come together in an exciting way. Monographic work shows and thematic group exhibitions by international artists of various genres are presented on the three floors of the listed engine house, which was remodeled on a private initiative. The location is also remarkable architecturally: with a ceiling height of 20 meters, the boiler house offers a unique setting for site-specific works that engage with the spatial situation.

Hufeisensiedlung

The Hufeisensiedlung in the Britz district of Berlin's Neukölln borough is a social housing estate built between 1925 and 1933. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008. It was built according to the plans of the architect Bruno Taut, the architect and later Berlin city architect Martin Wagner and the garden architect Leberecht Migge. It is one of the first projects of social housing and is considered an icon of modern urbanism and New Building. It is characterized by its clean lines, flat roofs and colorful facade design. The Hufeisensiedlung was a pioneering experiment in social housing and still demonstrates the importance of modern, functional design in urban environments.
