With the relocation of the railway line from Magdeburg to Potsdam by the Berlin-Potsdam-Magdeburg Railway Company around 1870 from a flood-prone route near the Elbe to the east, Möser received a train station. Since then the place has developed. In the local chronicle it says: During this time, the development on the west side of the Chaussee to the train station, north to the marshy meadows and the Schermener Weg and south to Kastanienallee. The "Gartenstadt Möser AG", which was mainly founded by Berlin business people, was particularly active here. On October 1, 1920, the Möser manor was converted into a rural community of the same name.
