Roundabout 7,300 people of di�erent cultures
and nationalities live in the area, among them
college students, senior citizens and numerous
families with many children. Many of the people
living here are jobless and depend on state
aid. More than one-third of the children and
adolescents in the neighborhood live in such
households.
In 2009, the Senate Department for Urban
Development provided Euro 50,000 in funding
from the Neighborhood Funds I and II (for
short term projects and small grant funding)
Additional Euro 50,000 from Neighborhood
Fund III (for larger socio-cultural and small
construction projects) has been earmarked for
the Ganghoferstrasse neighborhood to be disbursed

The Neighborhood Management area “Ganghoferstrasse“ is located in the north of the district Neukölln and situated between Karl-Marx-
Strasse, Richardstraße and Sonnenallee. In the north, the area is bordered by Erkstrasse, in the south by the Richardplatz and the Thiemannstrasse.
Numerous green courtyards north of Donaustrasse / Böhmische Strasse are counted among the qualities of the area, as well
as the “Bohemian Village“ that is approaching its 275th anniversary.
Selection of projects carried out to date
The area around Ganghoferstrasse is among
Berlin‘s youngest Neighborhood Management
areas: The local team started its work in July
2009. In order to introduce the team and the
program to the neighborhood and identify
potential members for the Neighborhood
Council, but also to gain �rst hand insights into
the issues prevailing in the “Kiez“ from local
residents and institutions, the team conducted
a needs assessment in the form of a survey
that also supported mobilization e�orts. The
needs and �ndings collected during the survey
have been considered in the development of
the integrated strategic and activity plan and
are used in projects with similar goals.
