Since 1977, emerged in East Berlin around the old village Marzahn predominantly in bricks built large housing estate Marzahn. On January 5, 1979, the districts of Marzahn, Biesdorf, Hellersdorf, Kaulsdorf and Mahlsdorf, which until then belonged to the Lichtenberg district , and a large part of Falkenberg from the Weissensee district, became the new Marzahn district.

In 1980, this line was extended by two stations to Otto-Winzer-Strasse station (today Mehrower Allee). In 1982 there was a further extension to Ahrensfelde station .

On June 1, 1986, Mahlsdorf, Kaulsdorf and Hellersdorf left the Marzahn district and formed the new Hellersdorf district . In 1987, on the occasion of Berlin's 750th anniversary, the “Berlin Garden Show”, today's Gardens of the World , was opened at the Kienberg . On July 1, 1988, the Marzahn district was also reached by the Berlin subway with the opening of the Tierpark - Elsterwerdaer Platz section .

The new large housing estate Marzahn had extended beyond the Berlin city limits since the 1980s and was thus partly in the area of the municipality of Ahrensfelde in the Frankfurt (Oder) district . This area with an area of 56 hectares was finally incorporated into Berlin and thus into the Marzahn district by the German-German unification treaty on October 3, 1990.

On January 1, 2001, the Marzahn district was merged with the Hellersdorf district to form the new Marzahn-Hellersdorf district as part of the Berlin district reform . The Marzahn-Hellersdorf district thus essentially comprises the original area of the Marzahn district between 1979 and 1986.
