Tempelhof-Schöneberg is one of Berlin’s most diverse boroughs. In the north, the densely built Gründerzeit quarters of Schöneberg and Friedenau define the landscape – with period buildings from the 1890s to 1920s whose cast-iron pipe systems are frequently corroded and narrowed after over 100 years of use. The Akazienviertel, Bayerisches Viertel and residential areas around Nollendorfplatz are among the quarters with the oldest pipe infrastructure in the borough. In the south, detached houses and estates dominate: Mariendorf with mixed development and allotment gardens, Lichtenrade with its village character at the city edge, and Marienfelde with a mix of residential and industrial park.
The drinking water in Tempelhof-Schöneberg comes from the Tegel and Friedrichshagen waterworks according to Berliner Wasserbetriebe, at approximately 14 to 18 degrees German hardness. Even at this hardness level, limescale deposits build up over decades in the old cast-iron pipes of the Schöneberg and Friedenau period buildings. In the main lines of detached houses in Lichtenrade and Mariendorf, a different problem arises: root intrusion. The long supply lines made of stoneware or clay pipe run beneath mature trees – tree roots penetrate through leaking joints and narrow the pipe diameter to the point of complete blockage.
