[2] In April 1961, the land development of the area called Lichtenberg (Nord) at that time, was begun and planning was subdivided into three sections.

[4] Fennpfuhl is situated in the eastern side of the city on the outside edge of the Hundekopf (dog's head), the colloquial name for central Berlin surrounded by the Ringbahn.

It borders the localities of Lichtenberg, Alt-Hohenschönhausen, Weißensee and Prenzlauer Berg (both in Pankow district).

An urban park (Fennpfuhlpark), characterized by numerous sculptures is situated in the middle of the quarter.

As urban railways, the locality is served by the S-Bahn lines S4 (Ringbahn), S8 and S9, at the stations of Storkower Straße and Landsberger Allee.
