Berlin-Ahrensfelde is a non-official name for the northern part of the Berlin district of Marzahn in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district with 22,341 inhabitants (2007) and an area of ​​250.41  hectares .

Officially, the location is called Marzahn-Nord . Part of the residential development that emerged in the 1980s was in the area of ​​the municipality of Ahrensfelde in the then Frankfurt (Oder) district , but was postally included in Berlin and in fact belonged to the former Berlin district of Marzahn .

In the course of German reunification , the area was officially reclassified to Berlin. The terminus of the Berlin S-Bahn , to the west of the residential development, was already on Berlin territory.

Parts of the Ahrensfeld Terraces in Rosenbecker Straße

In the 2000s, the area became known beyond the borders of Berlin, thanks to the Ahrensfeld Terraces project, which received much attention from experts . There, eleven-storey prefabricated buildings were dismantled and renovated to a height of three to six storeys in several streets . The remaining apartments received completely new layouts, so that a wide variety is now available. Especially in the context of the discussion about “ shrinking cities ” as a result of deindustrialization and migration (emigration of parts of the population), the project as a building strategy attracted a lot of attention from urban planners, architects and geographers.
