In 1998, craftsmen from the Far East built a Chinese teahouse against the high-rise backdrop of Berlin's Marzahn district. "The Garden of the Reclaimed Moon" was to be available as a recreational facility to the residents of the new development district starting in the spring of 2000. The cost of the Chinese garden was seven million marks. The work was carried out by skilled Chinese workers.

With 6.7 acres, the Chinese Garden in Marzahn is the largest Chinese garden in Europe. It was created in close cooperation with Berlin's partner city Beijing. The entire garden was planned by Chinese architects and all building parts and even the impressive Thai-Hu stones were imported.

The "Gardens of the World" are among the most beautiful gardens in Europe. The site is the first German park to receive the British Green Flag Award. The award has been presented since 1996 by the garden-loving town of Halton near Liverpool for the best parks and gardens.
