About Marzahn
What are the main landmarks in Marzahn?
Marzahn holds the Dorfkirche Marzahn at its old core. Memorials mark it too. The Parkfriedhof Marzahn, the Bezirksmuseum Marzahn-Hellersdorf and the Russian Orthodox Church Marzahn stand among its streets, while the Sinti-Gedenkstätte and the memorial at the Berlin-Marzahn concentration camp record its darkest history.
The Monument to the builders of Marzahn and the degewo-Skywalk mark the estate itself.
What is the history of Marzahn?
Marzahn traces back to the Germanisch-slawische Siedlung von Berlin-Marzahn and the old village at the Dorfkirche Marzahn. Settlement here runs deep. In 1990 an overbuilt strip at Ahrensfelde passed from Brandenburg into Berlin, and in 2001 the former boroughs of Marzahn and Hellersdorf were fused into the single Marzahn-Hellersdorf borough.
The Monument to the builders of Marzahn recalls the making of the estate.
Where is Marzahn?
