The connection to the public transport system
is very good with the two underground lines
U7 and U8. The Karl-Marx-Strasse with its “Neukölln
Arcades“, as well as the Hermannstrasse,

supraregional importance.
Public buildings include the nearby town hall
of Neukölln, the center for adult education,
the music school and the Helene-Nathan-Library,

The neighborhood “Flughafenstrasse“ is located in the north of the district Neukölln and bound by Hermannstrasse to the west, Karl-
Marx-Strasse to the east and the premises of the former Kindl-Brewery to the south. In the north, it almost reaches the Herrmannplatz. It
is densely developed with old, mainly residential buildings and only few public green and open areas.
area is outweighed by the scarcity of green
and open spaces, which are often objects of
vandalism and not very clean. The majority of
the families living in the neighborhood is socially
disadvantaged. Substance abuse and an
infamous drug scene around the underground

have contributed to the negative image of
the neighborhood. Various di�erent nations
live together in this area, however, there is still
some potential for improvement in the �elds
of neighborhood relationships and communication.
The prevailing issues result in high �uctuation
and social segregation. Based on
this situation, the area was designated
as a Neighborhood Management area in
2005.
