Berlin's First Geothermal-Powered District Rising Near Südkreuz
A new geothermal-powered residential district is taking shape near Südkreuz station in Berlin's Tempelhof-Schöneberg. The project, set for completion in 2028, will feature seven to eight-story blocks with around 300 apartments, including a significant portion of affordable housing.
Local and regional geothermal drillers are working on the Gotenstraße site, installing 285 probes to harness heat from the subsurface. This sustainable energy source will power the heating system for the entire development. The architectural design is a collaborative effort between Nofer Architects and Tchoban Voss Architects.
The district's location offers excellent connectivity, with proximity to the city ring, Südkreuz station, and the city motorway. Around one-third of the apartments will be 'bounded occupancy housing', a form of social housing supported by the state of Berlin, ensuring a mix of housing options.
The new district, expected to be completed by 2028, will provide sustainable, well-connected living spaces. Its geothermal heating system and mix of housing types reflect Berlin's commitment to sustainability and affordability.
