Cold Navigator: warm places and cold relief for the winter
227 warm places for the winter, plus the cold relief phone numbers. A service on open data, not a replacement for emergency shelters.
2026 elections: atlas now shows the final official result
For the 2026 Abgeordnetenhaus and BVV elections, navigator.berlin now shows the final result confirmed by the State Electoral Committee on 12 October 2026.
Census 2022: existing rents and share of pre-1949 housing per Kiez
Two new maps from the 2022 census: average rent in existing leases and the share of homes in buildings from before 1949, per planning area.
Kiez Finder: tell the map what you are looking for
Nine sliders instead of a search box: weight quiet, green space, S-Bahn proximity or voting behaviour, and the map recolours all 542 planning areas live.
Several map layers at once, finally readable
Each score dimension has its own colour, a second layer appears as size symbols, and roles can be swapped. Plus: a new logo.
Cool places: 18 open churches added, Passionskirche first
18 verified open churches and one neighbourhood centre join the map. New figures: 491 cool places open in summer, 298 free of charge.
taz tests the cool places map: "Refuge from heatstroke"
The taz tested the Heat Navigator against the authorities' maps. Result: 40 places around Gendarmenmarkt instead of two.
Cool places in hot weather: new layer and Heat Navigator
Over 500 cool places in Berlin, with live opening status, one-tap navigation and honest flags. A service on open data, not a replacement for the city.
Recorded crime: new context dimension
Recorded crime per Bezirksregion as standalone context. No safety verdict, no rank, not in the overall score.
Culture score: library, theatre, museum within reach
A separate sixth dimension measures cultural venues nearby, from OpenStreetMap. It stays out of the overall score because culture is inner-city heavy.
Amenities now count supermarkets, pharmacies and post offices
Besides daycare, schools and hospitals, the amenities score now measures local shops in the Kiez: groceries, pharmacy and post from OpenStreetMap.
Environment & infrastructure score: rebuilt
Five equally weighted dimensions, an overall map layer and a rebuilt inspector with a clickable score ring.
Election data since 2011
Four Bundestag, four House of Representatives and four District Assembly elections. Strongest party per address, a map per polling district, the trend per Kiez.
