Population development

Urban development

Urban area of ​​Berlin

After the cities of Berlin and Kölln could no longer grow in terms of area due to their island location, urban expansions, also known as suburbs , took place on the other sides of the poor Spree . The first suburbs were cities with their own city rights. Later the other suburbs were also called districts.

The first city expansion was Neu-Kölln (mid-17th century) without any urban independence. This was followed Friedrichswerder , Dorotheenstadt and Frederick city with its own town rights. These city extensions were merged and have formed the royal capital and residence of Berlin since January 1, 1710 . By 1825, the Dorotheenstadt extension, Friedrichstadt extension, Innere Luisenstadt , Innere Stralauer Vorstadt , Spandauer Vorstadt and the inner Königsviertel were incorporated into Berlin. By 1841 the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Stadt , Oranienburger Vorstadt , Rosenthaler Vorstadt , Friedrichsvorstadt , Äußere Luisenstadt, Äußere Stralauer Vorstadt and the Äußere Königsviertel followed. 20 years later in 1861 the Tempelhofer Vorstadt , Schöneberger Vorstadt , Äußere Dorotheenstadt, Wedding - Gesundbrunnen and Moabit were incorporated into the municipality of Berlin. Further extensions took place in 1878 with the central cattle yard , in 1881 with the Great Zoo and in 1915 with the acquisition of part of the Jungfernheide .

The last major city expansion took place in 1920. 7 urban communities , 59 rural communities and 27 manor districts were united with Berlin to form Greater Berlin .

After that there were only minor changes to the urban area. For example, after the Second World War there was an exchange of territory between the Allies at Staaken and Gatow . As part of the agreement on access to the Steinstücke enclave , a 20 m × 1000 m strip came to Berlin on December 20, 1971. In 1988 there were further changes as part of an area swap, which included the Lenné triangle in West Berlin . After reunification in 1990, West Staaken came back to Berlin; in addition, the parts of the large settlements of Marzahn ( Neu-Ahrensfelde ) and Hellersdorf ( Hönow-West ) , which had previously been outside of East Berlin , were incorporated.
