Construction of the port was decided in 1907 and construction began in the same year. It was hoped to benefit from the reloading of goods that would be transported from Stettin to Berlin on the Oder-Havel Canal , which was planned at the time . The port was created as a widening of the Tegeler River . The harbor basin was 556 m long and had a maximum width of 62.50 m. 20 ships could dock at the same time. The port was opened on October 31, 1908. The Humboldt Island was created with the port , via which the rail connection to the Tegel – Friedrichsfelde industrial line was made. This ended at the Tegeler Hafen. In addition, there was a rail connection via the Berlin-Tegel station to the Kremmener Bahn . In the years 1908 to 1911 three full portal and slewing wagon cranes were built.

The port entrance is spanned by the Tegeler Hafenbrücke , the use of which was chargeable until 1922, which is why it was also called the Six Bridge.

In 1972 port operations were stopped. In the years 1985–1988, two- to seven-storey residential buildings in the postmodern style were built on the former port area as a project of the 1987 International Building Exhibition . This also includes the Humboldt Library, established in 1988 . In the former harbor basin, the Tegeler Insel was artificially piled up and, with interruptions from 2008, also built on residential buildings. The street Am Tegeler Hafen and several institutions that have Tegeler Hafen in their name still remind of the former harbor .
