Redefining John F. Kennedy Square in Tempelhof-Schöneberg: Strategies for Square Revitalization
Revamped John F. Kennedy Square: Meet the Future Needs of Tempelhof-Schöneberg's Citizens
Eager to cater to the current demands of its residents, the John F. Kennedy Square in Tempelhof-Schöneberg is set for a makeover! The district office has teamed up with the Bauhaus University Weimar and volunteer group Nachbarschaftsbrot for this revitalization project.
On June 2nd, three graduates from Weimar—Jan Giesenhagen, Julian Feld, and Otto Schlosser—presented their proposals to the Committee for Order, Green, Environment, and Climate Protection of the District Assembly (BVV). Their ideas include both short-term and long-term improvements to enhance the square's atmosphere and boost the weekly market.
Village Oven on John F. Kennedy Square
The transformation begins with Nachbarschaftsbrot's village oven on the square, slated for late July. Additional possibilities include planting trees, adding seating areas near the portals, and prioritizing seating over parking on the square.
Showcasing designs, the Raum für Beteiligung Tempelhof-Schöneberg (Dominicusstraße 11) exhibition runs from June 17th to July 10th. The opening will take place on June 17th at 6 pm, giving interested parties a chance to view the plans during the following hours: Tuesday, 2-5 pm, and Thursday, 2-6 pm.
