Schreventeich

The green oasis of Schreven park

The Schreven park is the green soul of the district and one of Kiel's most popular parks. Around the pond that gives it its name stretch wide lawns, mature trees and winding paths that invite strolling and lingering. In summer the lawn becomes a meeting point for picnics, sunbathing and occasional open-air events, with a playground and a café pavilion rounding things off. Ducks and waterfowl populate the pond, which in past frosty winters even invited ice skating. For residents the park is an extended living room that gives the quarter its quiet, green character.

Period charm for living

Schreventeich impresses with its largely preserved period architecture, with richly decorated façades, high ceilings and quiet streets. The closed block development gives the quarter an elegant, urban character and makes it one of Kiel's most sought-after residential areas. Families value the nearness of park, schools and kindergartens; students appreciate the short routes into the center and to the university. Small shops, bakeries and cafés on the ground floors provide local amenities and neighborhood life. The blend of historic fabric and relaxed everyday life is the appeal of this residential quarter.

Central yet calm

Schreventeich lies west of the city center and scores with its central yet calm location. The Holstenstraße is a few minutes away on foot or by bike, and bus lines along the adjoining main roads link the quarter with the main station and university. The nearby Blücherplatz serves as a traffic junction and supply point. Anyone wanting greenery is quickly on the way via the Schreven park, and the fjord is not far either. This combination of central position and quiet surroundings makes Schreventeich a dream address for many in Kiel.
