Berlin-Blankenburg is a district in the Berlin district of Pankow . The first documented mention of the village as a village is dated to 1375. In the course of the Greater Berlin Act , Blankenburg was incorporated into the municipality in 1920 and assigned to the 19th administrative district (Pankow) that was created at the time. As part of the administrative reform to form the Hohenschönhausen district , Blankenburg came to what was then the Weissensee district in 1986, together with the neighboring districts of Heinersdorf and Karow . With the administrative reform in 2001, Blankenburg (as a district of Weißensee) again became a district in the then newly created district of Pankow.

history

Origin and development

Low German settlers, most likely from the northeastern resin rand to arise, to which the name transfer from Blankenburg (Harz) suggesting founded Blankenburg in 1230 on the Barnim . The surviving village church was built around 1250 and has late Romanesque features. A document from the Bishop of Brandenburg from 1271 mentioned a documentary witness Anselm de Blanckenborch , who could also have come from Blankenburg . The land register of Emperor Charles IV from 1375 contains the first written mention of the village . It consisted of 42  hooves , 4 of  which were parish hooves . There were 24 kossa and 1  kruger in the village  . The knight's court of Tamme von Röbel comprised 8 hooves. The lower nobility were also based in Buch .

Blankenburg was originally a rural village . The complex of the manor made some farms and the western part of the village green disappear. As a result, the western part of the Dorfstrasse became a dead end .

In 1436 Wilhelm von Blankenfelde was the heir to Blankenburg. The von Röbels were followed by von Fuchs in 1664 and later by Barfus , who owned 17 knight's hooves in 1688. In 1710 Friedrich I bought the estate and made it subordinate to the office of Niederschönhausen . In private ownership again since 1818, the city of Berlin bought the estate in 1882 and set up a Rieselgut on the site .

From the 20th century

The law on the formation of the city council of Berlin ( Greater Berlin Law ) passed by the Berlin magistrate in 1920 led to the creation of twenty administrative districts into which the surrounding villages were incorporated. This law allowed the new administrations to subdivide their territory into local districts . According to the council minutes of Berlin-Pankow (the XIXth administrative district) of July 29, 1920, the previous individual community and the Blankenburg estate merged to form the Blankenburg district. Blankenburg had 1,436 inhabitants on September 1, 1920. After the election of the first salaried mayor , the selection and establishment of administrative offices and the hiring of additional people, the Pankow district office with its local districts finally began its work on March 18, 1921.

With the merger, the infrastructure was improved, among other things, the route of Wollankstrasse was given a changed route, the course of the Panke was regulated, the purchased Rosensche Park was designed in Niederschönhausen and a morgue was built in Blankenburg .

Blankenburg south

Between Blankenburg and Heinersdorf, in an area mainly used for agriculture, a new settlement - the Blankenburg south  - is to be built. Up to 6000 new residential units are planned on an area of ​​around 430  hectares . The core area accounts for around 90 hectares.

The south of Blankenburg is to be developed as a city quarter of diversity

  • small spatial structures,
  • diverse uses from living to work and shopping to education and leisure,
  • numerous forms of public and private open spaces,
  • various ownership structures such as rent, leasehold and property and
  • diverse building and organizational structures such as assemblies, cooperatives and municipal housing associations, so
  • Different forms of coexistence are possible, in addition to conventional single and family households, shared apartments and intergenerational living.

As part of the better connection, the M2 Metrotram line, which currently ends in Heinersdorf, is to be extended in connection with the new residential area. It is to be run north via the Heinersdorf industrial area to the south of Blankenburg and on to the Blankenburg S-Bahn station .
