The Marzahner Chaussee is a traffic route between the Berlin districts of Marzahn-Hellersdorf and Lichtenberg . The road runs from northeast to southwest and was shortened to its present area in the early 1970s.
history
A connection between the former villages Friedrichsfelde and Marzahn in the northeast of Berlin already existed in earlier centuries. Usually such traffic routes were named after the direction, half of the route they changed names. Here the northern area was called the street to Friedrichsfelde, the southern street to Marzahn. When the road was paved and trees were planted , the street was given the name Marzahner Chaussee towards the end of the 19th century. At that time it was about six kilometers long. Between 1905 and 1935 the entire street was called Victoriastraße. With the planning of Marzahn, the first new urban district in East Berlin , the larger northern area of the Chaussee fell away.
Historical northeast section
At the northern beginning, right after the historic village center of Marzahn and east of this road, colonists from other German regions settled between the 18th and 19th centuries . They structured their settlement area at right angles and gave the streets or paths names of types of fruit they had brought with them, the names of colonists were also used, or plant and animal names such as Schwalbenflug or Kaiserkronenweg . This street section of the former Chaussee was integrated into the street system of the new city district from 1980 and was named Bruno-Baum-Straße.
Historical middle section
The middle area of the Chaussee led past the Springpfuhl, which is a relic of the Ice Age and on which no buildings were built until the middle of the 20th century. From the late 1970s, this route was completely abolished.
In connection with the construction of the Wriezener Bahn , the magistrate of Berlin had a commercial cattle yard built directly at the intersection with Marzahner Chaussee to supply the growing Berlin population, the Friedrichsfelde lean cattle yard . Its preserved remains on the area between the railway line and Marzahner Chaussee are in the Berlin list of monuments: stock exchange, loading facilities, walls.

Southwest, at the junction with the here applied also in the 20th century Avenue of cosmonaut , is the surface on which a nuns monastery from Friedland in the 14th century the colonization of Marzahn began. The monastery no longer exists, but this is documented in the name of a service facility: wellness in the monastery garden.
Historic southwest section
In the 1930s, immigrants from what is now Rhineland-Palatinate settled southwest of the Ostbahn on both sides of the Marzahner Chaussee . Here, too, a uniformly subdivided road system was created that was given names from the Moselle region .
The Friedrichsfeld section of Marzahner Chaussee begins on the route of the Eastern Railway. The Friedrichsfelde community cemetery was built here around 1880 . Together with the chapel, some tombs and the entire green area, this is now called the Marzahner Friedhof and is a garden and architectural monument. The Marzahner Chaussee originally led directly to what was then Frankfurter Chaussee, today Alt-Friedrichsfelde . The traffic connection was later canceled, however, the traffic on the Chaussee is now transferred to a residential street system to the east.
Only the Chaussee area described here still has its original name. From around 1980 it was connected to a new industrial park, which is now known as the Berlin eastside industrial park .
The Marzahner Chaussee from 1990
The southern Friedrichsfeld section was upgraded in 1997 with a new neighborhood with multi-storey residential buildings - between the cemetery and Hohenschönhauser Weg. Here the Chaussee is a quiet access road with partial cobblestone paving . From the intersection with the Seddiner Straße / Gensinger Straße street, it is a more frequented main route that is served by a bus line. In the years 2009/2010, the Chaussee, along with other important traffic routes, was extensively renovated.
