Experience Berlin’s large housing estates live – from Märkisches Viertel to Marzahn. History, modernization, and community integration.

Historical Background:
To meet the growing housing demand, Berlin built large-scale housing estates in the outer districts between the 1960s and 1980s:

  • West Berlin: Märkisches Viertel, Gropiusstadt

  • East Berlin: Marzahn/Hellersdorf, Hohenschönhausen

Post-Reunification Challenges:
Structural and technical deficiencies in these estates became apparent after 1990.

Investments & Modernization Efforts:

  • Energy-efficient renovations of residential buildings

  • Improvements in public spaces and living environments

  • Support for local economic structures

  • Projects promoting social integration and community building

We tailor the tour to your interests, visiting selected districts and projects to provide a comprehensive view of Berlin’s large housing estates, their ongoing transformation, and future development perspectives.
