The street prostitution on Kurfürstenstraße gets a new border – BZ Berlin
Schöneberg is shrinking. It loses exactly 4188 square meters to the large neighboring Mitte district. The area change happens in a special corner, the Kurfürstenstrasse. A new line is being drawn on the well-known street line!

What WILL also be: Permissions for special use on the road. For example, when lines have to be dug or construction sites need to be set up.
