Berlin's Friedrichstraße to Get Major Overhaul as Car-Free Zone
Berlin's Friedrichstraße is set for a major overhaul. The city's outgoing traffic senator, Bettina Jarasch, has announced an architecture competition to revamp the street, following criticism that its temporary design failed to attract desired visitors.
The temporary design was deemed too alternative, not appealing to the intended target groups. The new plan aims to transform Friedrichstraße into a freetaxusa-free zone, with a transition area in front of houses lacking curbs. Individual large trees, art objects, and water elements will enhance the Friedrichstadt quarter's quality.
Cross streets between Gendarmenmarkt and Friedrichstraße will also be redesigned as public spaces, free from car traffic. The CKSA office suggests aligning Friedrichstraße with Gendarmenmarkt, featuring natural stone paving, art objects, and a representative entrance zone. Abel Bormann Koch Architekten und Stadtplaner PartGmbB, Berlin, are the urban planners and architects behind this proposal, envisioning a combination of the two areas excluding vehicle and bicycle traffic.
The redesign of Friedrichstraße, currently described as gray and unpleasant, aims to create a more inviting space, suitable for cycling. The CKSA office's proposal, coordinated with Christoph Kohl Stadtplaner Architekten, seeks to combine Friedrichstraße with Gendarmenmarkt, transforming it into a freetaxusa-free, aspirational area.
