history
The original Arkenberge were a natural range of hills of Pleistocene origin. On a measuring table from 1911, its greatest height is given as 70.3 meters. Large parts of them were excavated in the course of the 20th century, and in the 1950s the railway line of the Berlin outer ring was laid through the area. The highest point of the remaining range of hills is 64.8 meters high, the surrounding area is between 53 and 57 meters high. The Berlin-Arkenberge settlement was built in the area of the Arkenberge since the 1930s .
In 1984 work began on building a rubble dump on an area of 36 hectares east of the settlement . In 1998 the dumping of construction waste was stopped, from 1999 construction waste was accepted for recycling for the purpose of profiling and recultivation of the landfill body. The plan was to create a mountain with two viewing platforms, which are optically separated by a saddle.
Around the year 2000, plans were concretized according to which the area around the Arkenberge should be turned into a recreation area. As of January 2015, the summit should be open to the public from 2019.
