Im Berliner Bezirk Mitte steht der erste Kiezblock kurz vor seiner Fertigstellung. Ende Juli wird das Straßenamt eine Reihe Poller an der Kreuzung Bellermannstraße und Stettiner Straße in Wedding aufstellen, wie Verkehrsstadträtin Almut Neumann (Grüne) mitteilt. Im August folgt dann die letzte Diagonalsperre an der Kreuzung Grüntalerstraße und Bellermannstraße. Die Idee für die sogenannten Kiezblocks stammt aus Barcelona und hat das Ziel, den Durchgangsverkehr aus Wohngegenden herauszuhalten. Oftmals nutzen Autofahrer:innen die Kieze als Abkürzung, wenn es auf den Hauptstraßen zu Staus kommt. Durch Diagonalsperren an den Kreuzungen werden die Autos umgeleitet.

In the Mitte district of Berlin, the first neighborhood block is about to complete it. At the end of July, the street office will set up a number of bollards at the Bellermannstrasse and Stettiner Straße intersection in Wedding, as traffic councilor Almut Neumann (Greens) reports. In August the last diagonal lock will follow at the Grüntalerstraße and Bellermannstraße.

The idea for the so -called Kiezblocks comes from Barcelona and aims to keep through traffic from residential areas. Motorists often use: the neighborhood as a abbreviation in the inside when traffic jams occur on the main roads. The cars are redirected by diagonal barriers at the crossings. Nevertheless, all houses remain accessible by car.

In the Bellermannkiez, a total of five such bollards will be created. If necessary, the police, fire brigade and city cleaning can remove them. Pedestrians: Inside and cyclists: Inside, they are not an obstacle. In addition, new green spaces, seating and play options are to be created as part of the project, for example on Eulerplatz, which the residents can help shape.

"With the first neighborhood block in Mitte we brought traffic calm to Bellermannkiez," says city councilor Neumann. "It is now more secure and more pleasant for people who are on foot or by bike."

Overall, the Mitte district plans to set up 12 neighborhood blocks within five years. The CDU and FDP in the district express criticism of this project. The CDU sees this a disability for car traffic, while the FDP has repeatedly noted that the traffic is only shifted to other areas by diversion.

The following topics are dealt with in the current newsletter from Mitte: tips and beautiful places for the summer holidays, the renaming of Mohrenstraße, the opening of the Café Leo on Leopoldplatz, poor memory culture on the new Tacheles, the closure of Friedrichstrasse for a street festival, the honor of volunteers in Mitt Culture Forums, Italian summer nights in the Monbijoutheater, a retrospective about the Russian film artist Tarkovskij in the Arsenal cinema and the competition for the "Golden Gießkanne" for city trees in need.

The Mitte district would like to encourage citizens: to get rid of suggestions, criticism or praise for district reporting. The author's email addresses: inside can be found in the newsletters.
