Named after Hansastraße, recalling the Hanseatic League, and Malchower Weg, the old road to Malchow.
Hansastraße, named in 1988 after the Hanse, the medieval league of merchants, was here formerly Falkenberger Straße, part of the historic road from Berlin to Bad Freienwalde. Malchower Weg, one of the historic roads out of Hohenschönhausen, is named after the village of Malchow, first recorded in 1344 as ‘Malchowe’.
