A mill was first mentioned in a document in 1265. The naming of the four wheels is attested in 1269. The castle on the northern bank of the Welse, still preserved in a hunger tower , appears for the first time in a document in 1321. On August 13, 1284, the Peace of Vierraden between Pomerania and the Mark Brandenburg was concluded here. In 1515 Vierraden was granted city rights . During the Second World War , the city was almost completely destroyed. The old Jewish cemetery is located near the Neue Welse , the neglected site of which was restored in 1988 and a memorial stone for the former Jewish community was added.

In Berlin-Friedrichsfelde there was the Vierradener Platz, named after this city, until around 1960. It was removed during the development of the area known today as Rosenfelder Ring north of the Alt-Friedrichsfelde road . In 1937 a street in what was then the Berlin-Mahlsdorf district was given the new name Vierradener Weg, which it still bears today.
