Discover Marzahn: Gardens of the World and Village History

Marzahn combines extensive garden culture with historical traces of a Berlin district. Anyone planning a trip filled with varied impressions will find both extensive walking paths and museums, village history and distinctive buildings here. When looking for a holiday apartment in Marzahn, you can therefore consider whether you would like to focus on experiences in nature, culture or a mixture of both.

Garden Culture Across Extensive Parkland

The Gardens of the World in Berlin-Marzahn Recreation Park offer international garden culture in nine themed gardens. The extensive park grounds include spacious meadows, flowerbeds and walking paths. Berlin-Marzahn Recreation Park covers 43 hectares. This makes the park one of the district's defining visitor experiences and offers many different impressions within a garden and landscape setting.

This focus may be particularly interesting when planning your trip if you would like to combine a day in the countryside with other cultural discoveries. Families can take different interests into account: while some explore the gardens and walking paths, others may be more interested in historic buildings and exhibitions. Which accommodation location is best suited to this depends on your planned activities and desired pace of travel.

History in Alt-Marzahn

The Angerdorf village of Alt-Marzahn has existed since the 13th century and is an important historical reference point in the district. The Marzahn-Hellersdorf District Museum researches and presents the history of the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district and its localities of Biesdorf, Hellersdorf, Kaulsdorf, Mahlsdorf and Marzahn. The museum is housed in a former village school in the Angerdorf village of Alt-Marzahn.

The museum features a permanent exhibition and changing thematic exhibitions. This makes it suitable for visitors who are interested not only in individual buildings but also in the development of the district and its localities. If you value a cultural and historical destination when choosing your holiday apartment, this part of Marzahn is an obvious focus for your planning.

Mill, Church and KulturGut

The Berlin-Marzahn post mill recalls the history of the village. It is the village's fourth post mill and has stood there since 1993. During a guided tour, visitors can learn about the process from grain to bread; reservations are recommended. This makes the mill an informative destination for anyone who would like not only to view historic craft traditions but also to learn more about them on a guided tour.

Marzahn's historic side also includes the village church of Marzahn, a listed monument dating from 1870–1871. Its baptismal font dates from around 1620. KulturGut Marzahn is located in a former three-sided farmstead and adds another historic site to the district's cultural diversity.

Choosing Marzahn as Your Accommodation Location

A holiday apartment in Marzahn can suit different travel plans: you can make the Gardens of the World the focus, explore the history of Alt-Marzahn or combine both topics. This way, you choose your accommodation not only based on its location but also on the character of your trip.
