Alt-Hohenschönhausen

Alt-Hohenschönhausen incorporates residential buildings, green spaces, and lakes including Obersee and Orankesee at an elevation of 55 meters above sea level.

The area transformed from agricultural land with knight estates in the 13th century to a modern residential district following extensive development in the 1970s.

The Taborkirche, dating from 1230, stands as the oldest building in the district and represents the early religious heritage of the community.

The district connects to Berlin's public transportation network and features the Allee-Center with 50 shops for daily necessities and medical services.

The former Stasi prison, now transformed into Gedenkstätte Hohenschönhausen memorial site, documents the interrogation methods used during the GDR period.
