history

Aerial view of Ahrensfelde (below) and Berlin-Ahrensfelde (above)

Ahrensfeld was first mentioned in 1375 in the land book of Charles IV as Arnsfelt . It was probably named after a Berlin client.

At the end of the 15th century, Ahrensfelde was acquired by the elector and until 1872 it was administered as an electoral or royal village by the Mühlenhof office. This office had the task of supplying the court with supplies. Moreover, the goods Berlin mills were mahlpflichtig .

Ahrensfelde belonged to the Niederbarnim district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1817 . In 1952 during the East German government reform the dissolution of the district Niederbarnim and integration into the circle Bernau of Frankfurt (Oder) district .

When the Marzahn district was formed in the 1970s, Ahrensfelde lost 56 hectares of its original local area to Berlin, initially (1979) only from an administrative point of view as an agreement between the Berlin District Planning Commission and the Frankfurt / Oder District Planning Commission in carrying out the tasks for the development of the GDR capital - Berlin and then finally on October 3, 1990 through the unification treaty between the GDR and the FRG . This part of today's Marzahn district is popularly known as Berlin-Ahrensfelde . One reason for this is that the terminus of the Berlin S-Bahn , located on the western edge of the settlement, kept the name Ahrensfelde after 1979 and this has not (yet) been adapted to the changed conditions.

In 1992 the communities of Blumberg, Ahrensfelde, Lindenberg, Eiche and Mehrow merged to form an administrative association. On July 13, 1992, the Minister of the Interior of the State of Brandenburg gave his consent to the formation of the Ahrensfelde / Blumberg office . July 31, 1992 was set as the date of establishment of the office. The office had its seat in the municipality of Ahrensfelde. After an announcement by the Ministry of the Interior of the State of Brandenburg on June 7, 2002, the incorporation of the municipality of Mehrow into the municipality of Ahrensfelde was approved. The merger only became legally effective at the time of the next state-wide local elections (= October 26, 2003). On October 26, 2003, the new Ahrensfelde-Blumberg community was formed from the communities of Ahrensfelde, Blumberg, Eiche and Lindenberg. The Ahrensfelde / Blumberg office was dissolved, and the Ahrensfelde-Blumberg municipality was free. On October 1, 2004, the name of the community was changed to Ahrensfelde. According to the main statute, the community of Ahrensfelde is again divided into five districts.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on February 15, 2007.

Blazon : "In green a fallen, curved and silver-red sheathed tip, covered by five growing golden ears of corn tied to a sheaf ."

The five ears of corn represent the districts of the large community, the bound sheaf the amalgamation of the former villages of Ahrensfelde, Blumberg, Eiche, Lindenberg and Mehrow. The ears of wheat also refer to the common community name Ahrensfelde.

The red and white box indicates that it belongs to the state of Brandenburg. The nesting is reminiscent of masonry structures or property plans and is supposed to symbolize the importance of Ahrensfeld as a residential building site on the outskirts of Berlin.

The place Ahrensfelde, after which the large community of Ahrensfelde is named, also has its own coat of arms, which is similar to that of the community. It depicts four golden ears of wheat on a green background, which are connected by a golden ribbon with a rake and a scythe , also in gold. The basis for the coat of arms designed by the graphic artist and heraldist Frank Diemar was a seal image of the place that was kept until 1953 .

flag

The municipal flag is three-striped green-yellow-green (green-gold-green) in a ratio of 1: 4: 1 with the municipal coat of arms in the median.

traffic

Street

Lead through the church

  • the national road 2 between the Autobahndreieck Barnim and the village Lindenberg Berlin
  • the Federal Highway 158 of Werneuchen by Blumberg on the motorway junction Berlin-Hohenschonhausen by Ahrensfelde to Berlin. It acts as a feeder to the A 10 for the neighboring districts of Berlin, which often leads to traffic jams in town. For this reason, a bypass has been planned for a long time . The selected variant B 158n should run for a length of about 4.5 km south of Ahrensfelde. The plan approval and consultation process raised over 1,000 objections.

The Bundesautobahn 10 (Berliner Ring) runs through the municipality in two sections:

  • between the districts of Ahrensfelde and Blumberg approx. 6.5 km from northwest to southeast with the junction Berlin-Hohenschönhausen
  • north of the district of Lindenberg approx. 1.2 km from west to east
train

The train stations Ahrensfelde and Blumberg (b Berlin) as well as the stops Ahrensfelde Friedhof , Ahrensfelde Nord and Blumberg-Rehhahn are on the Berlin – Wriezen railway line and are served by the regional train line RB 25 ( Berlin Ostkreuz - Werneuchen ).

Ahrensfelde station is the terminus of line S 7 of the Berlin S-Bahn to Potsdam Hauptbahnhof .

With the opening of the Wriezener Bahn between Berlin-Lichtenberg and Werneuchen on May 1, 1898, Ahrensfelde and Blumberg were connected to the Prussian rail network . The Ahrensfelde station was built on the road from Weißensee to Freienwalde in the Falkenberger district and has therefore been in Berlin since 1920. In 1908 the Ahrensfelde Friedhof stop went into operation. As its name suggests, it served as a link to the Ostkirchhof, which opened in the same year. By 1910, the station was expanded to become a train station with a central platform , and the corpses were transported on a siding. Since there was no suburban tariff on the Wriezener Bahn until 1938, the relatives shied away from the train journey and had their deceased buried in the more expensive Berlin cemeteries. The Ahrensfelde Friedhof station never achieved its intended significance and was dismantled again as a stop by 1939. The Blumberg-Rehhahn stop was put into operation in 2013 to develop the local industrial park.

From 1982 the trains of the Berlin S-Bahn went to Ahrensfelde (from 1991 as line S 7 ), where the local trains to Wriezen had their terminus since then. The Ahrensfelde Nord stop was built in the following year to develop the built-up areas in the north of the municipality . Since 1993 the diesel-powered trains have been running from Ahrensfelde to Lichtenberg station, since 1995 under the line designation RB 25 (meanwhile OE 25 ). The line has been operated by the Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn (ODEG) since 2004 . From December 14, 2014 to December 14, 2024, passenger traffic will be carried out on the route by the Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn (NEB).

Tram and bus

As a supplement to the Wriezener Bahn, the extension of the Berlin – Hohenschönhausen tram to Ahrensfelde with an option to the Ostkirchhof was planned at the beginning of the 20th century . However, the project was not implemented. From the mid-1930s there was a bus connection from Malchow via Weißensee and Falkenberg to Ahrensfelde. Line C ran after the Second World War as line A 46 (from 1968 without prefix), later as line 41. As part of the crime program , the network of the Berlin tram to Ahrensfelde was expanded in 1986 , the terminus at that time was outside the Berlin city limits and was opened on 3 October 1990 incorporated into Berlin. The loop is served by both trams and (since 1988) buses and is designed so that you can change between the two modes of transport at the same platform. At the same time, several bus routes were set up through the then Marzahn district to Ahrensfelde, which also opened up the new building areas. Currently (as of 2020) the community is served by the tram lines M 8 and 16 as well as several bus lines of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe and the Barnimer bus company .

In some parts of the Berlin area, bus line 390 runs to Mehrow . With the bus line 901 there is a connection to Bernau . Both lines also connect the Ahrensfelde Friedhof station .
