Disruption at Kaulsdorf-Nord Subway Station: Local Service Interrupted Due to Station Delays
In the heart of Berlin-Marzahn-Hellersdorf, stagnation has long been a problem in the Cecilienplatz area, with decaying buildings plagued by fires, vandalism, and littered paths. However, a wave of change is on the horizon with several new construction projects planned for the neighbourhood.
One such project is the "Kaulsdorfer Spitze", scheduled to begin in 2026. This wood-hybrid building will stand at Heinrich-Grüber-Straße and feature 26 rental apartments, an underground garage, and commercial areas. The project is equipped with modern standards, including barrier-free design for elderly people and families with children. The "Kaulsdorfer Spitze" is being built by the Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft Wuhletal and is expected to be completed by March 2026.
Another significant development is the "Heller 78" project, planned for Kaulsdorf-Nord U-Bahn station. This residential and commercial ensemble will feature 374 freehold apartments and service areas on the ground floor, with an underground garage offering 38 parking spaces. Construction for "Heller 78" is scheduled to begin in 2026 and be completed by mid-2028.
In addition to these projects, comprehensive track renewals are planned for 2026, extending to Hellersdorf and including additional track switches at Kienberg and Wuhletal stations. The Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe will stabilise the track bed between Cottbusser Platz and Kaulsdorf-Nord in September 2025, with bus replacement traffic taking over operations during this time.
However, if no construction takes place by 2027, the permits for the three high-rises could expire. These high-rises, planned for Cecilienplatz, would include almost 300 apartments, retail, and service areas. Several buildings at Cecilienplatz, previously used as a local supply center, have been empty for years.
The arrival of these new developments is expected to bring a much-needed boost to the area, addressing the stagnation that has long been a concern for many residents. As construction progresses, the Cecilienplatz in Berlin-Marzahn-Hellersdorf may soon see a brighter future.
