The transformation of the street came as a result of a dialogue between the district of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg and the citizens on how the future of Bergmannstraße should look like. 15 parklets from Vestre were hereby placed in the street during an evaluation period of one year, to slow down traffic in the area by replacing parking spaces with city life.

The one-year period came to an end in October 2019, and the parklets are now being considered for another location in Berlin.
