Möckernkiez

The Möckernkiez housing project in Berlin, Germany, is a large cooperative housing initiative that emphasizes self-managed, social, and ecological living. Located in the Kreuzberg district, the project consists of 14 residential buildings with 471 units, built according to passive house standards and ecological building criteria. The neighborhood is designed to be car-free and barrier-free, with a focus on pedestrian and bicycle traffic. The project features a mix of uses, including social amenities, basic services, and community spaces, such as a hotel, youth center, organic market, doctor, neighborhood meeting place, and daycare center. The buildings are designed by various architects, including Baufrösche, roedig.schop, Rolf Disch SolarArchitektur, and Schulte-Frohlinde, and are linked by a generous open space with private, semi-public, and public areas. The project aims to create a diverse and mixed neighborhood with a strong sense of community and social cohesion.
