Berlin-Marzahn – Hellersdorf was considered a safe seat for The Left and its predecessor Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS), which won the constituency in every election since 1990 and even in the 2002 German federal election, where it was only one of two seats the then-PDS won nationwide.

However, Petra Pau, who first won the seat in 2002 following the retirement of incumbent member Gregor Gysi, lost re-election in the 2021 German federal election.

She lost by nearly eight percentage points to Mario Czaja (CDU), who had previously won a Abgeordnetenhaus of Berlin constituency entirely within the borough (Marzahn-Hellersdorf 5) multiple times by large margins.
