Silvio-Meier-Straße runs from Frankfurter Allee to Rigaer Straße and is located in the so-called Samariterkiez, in the north of Friedrichshain. Many people are often long-established and have lived here all their lives, so that – unlike in southern Friedrichshain – there is a relaxed atmosphere here. Numerous Art Nouveau façades characterize the visual impression of the neighbourhood, as do the Samariterkirche church and Forckenbeckplatz. Residents like to visit the latter to relax or use it as a sports field. In addition to meadows and flowerbeds, the small but beautiful park has a fountain and a football pitch and playground. Countless cafés and restaurants nearby create a relaxed and cozy neighbourhood atmosphere. The Jane-Goodall elementary school, the Heinrich-Hertz-Gymnasium and the Evangelische Schule Berlin-Friedrichshain are within walking distance. The Kreuzberg-Friedrichshain district office and the adult education center around the corner offer central services for all age groups. If you like shopping, you will find stores ranging from drugstores and supermarkets to shoe and toy stores in the nearby Ring Center, which also houses a gym, for example. Silvio-Meier-Straße is just as well connected to public transport. The Samariter Straße subway station on the U5 line is in the immediate vicinity. The Ringbahn and the M10 streetcar line, which connects Warschauer Straße with Nordbahnhof in Prenzlauer Berg, also run nearby.
