Elisabeth-Aue, Berlin

The new Elisabeth-Aue neighborhood combines a high proportion of modular housing units with a diverse urban structure. It is based on a flexible framework that, through its spatial and landscape design, creates diverse, climate-adapted spaces offering a high quality of life. The central "Elisabeth-Meile" with tram access structures the neighborhood in a north-south direction, while two green-and-blue open-space axes running east-west integrate the surrounding landscape areas and create additional structure.

A total of approximately 5,000 residential units will be created, predominantly in 5–6-story buildings with select architectural accents. Generous building plots with unpaved, green courtyards, as well as complementary building types and mixed-use developments, ensure a diverse range of housing options. The center, featuring a neighborhood square, local amenities, commercial space (approx. 30,000 m² gross floor area), mobility options, and social facilities, forms the vibrant heart of the district.

The open space concept aims to create a climate-adapted urban space with a low degree of paving (approx. 30%) and multifunctional green spaces for rainwater management, biodiversity, and recreation. Overall, the result is a sustainable, resilient neighborhood that serves as a model.
