The actual street area in the typical spindle shape around the village church as the center was initially called Dorfaue , which was given its current name on May 11, 1938.

First, the long-distance trade route led from Berlin to Altlandsberg and beyond exactly through the old village center. Only when Marzahn was expanded into a separate district at the end of the 1970s was long-distance traffic diverted via a bypass road north of it. Alt-Marzahn as a traffic route has since been a street that can only be reached by residents from Landsberger Allee or Allee der Kosmonauten , to which a side branch of about 130 meters between the street Hinter der Mühle and the south-western colonist settlement belongs.

Immediately in the former village center, the street is still cobblestone ; there are wide footpaths and a narrow green strip in between.

The (second) village church and the former village schoolhouse have been preserved directly on the Anger. It was built in 1911/1912 according to a design by the Lichtenberg master builder Paul Tarruhn . The two-storey building was used as a teaching institution until 1977, after which the housing management of the Marzahn district moved into the rooms. The drinking fountain in the foyer and a blackboard (today in an exhibition room) have been preserved from the original furnishings. After 1990, the house was extensively renovated and protected as a historical monument and has since been home to the Marzahn-Hellersdorf District Museum.

From its closure in 1879 until the beginning of the 20th century, the former churchyard was called Kantor-Filter-Platz after the first village school teacher and cantor of the Marzahn village church, Martin Hermann Rudolf Filter (1833-1897). His grave is located further east of the village green (at today's Landsberger Allee corner Allee der Kosmonauten), which was newly laid out in the Marzahn community cemetery , which was closed in 1975.

A somewhat secluded square in the colonist settlement, named after the first mayor Ludwig Dubick, initially bore the war memorial that has now been erected on the village green . It was mentioned as a sight in the Berlin address book from 1925.
