    The Majakowskiring is an oval-closed street and eponymous for the local situation in the Berlin district Niederschönhausen. The district was at times the closed residential area of ​​the most important politicians of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) and the GDR leadership.

    The government representative residing in the district of Mayakovsky shielded a wall from the outside world. This remained even after the move of politicians to Wandlitz in 1960. Because of the foreclosure they also spoke of the so-called "town".

    Hiking

    In 1950, the two ring roads were named after the Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893-1930). The restricted area, which can only be accessed with a special permit, was also called “small town” in Russian. After the founding of the GDR in 1949, high-ranking officials of the SED and the GDR state leadership resided in the fenced and later walled guarded residential area.
