Six young children, all aged under 13, were in the flat when the police arrived, but it remains unclear whether they were the couple's children.
The pair, who lived in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin, were reportedly arguing loudly in the early hours of Monday morning when the neighbours called the police.
When they arrived, they found the unnamed woman's body had been cut up into pieces. The man threw some of these pieces onto the street from the flat's balcony, including the woman's head which landed in the building's central courtyard, daily paper Süddeutsche Zeitung reported.
None of the children appeared to be injured, police said. Adding that they have all been taken into state care. Their exact ages and relation to the pair were not revealed.
Police restrained and arrested the woman's 32-year-old husband after he put up a fight.
According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung, neighbours said the unemployed man suffered from psychological problems. He is thought to have had another partner living in the same building, with whom he had two children. His wife wanted to break the marriage off.
