Named after the village of Hellersdorf and the town of Zossen.
Hellersdorf is a village founded in the 14th century. In 1985, when the new housing estates were built, Hellersdorfer Straße was rerouted, and the remaining stretch towards the Landsberger Chaussee became the Alte (old) Hellersdorfer Straße. Zossener Straße, named in 1987, recalls Zossen, a town in Brandenburg.
