Fennpfuhl is a district in the Lichtenberg district of Berlin . The name derives from the residential area on Fennpfuhl or the local Fenn pfuhl from. Only after the administrative reform in 2001 did the residential area become a separate district, before it belonged to Lichtenberg with the addition (north) . Fennpfuhl is the second most densely populated district of Berlin after Friedenau .
District boundaries
The district is bordered by the Weißenseer Weg (up to the intersection without its road area) and Landsberger Allee (northwest side, including road area) and further from Vulkanstraße to Josef-Orlopp-Straße (both of which road areas belong to the Lichtenberg district). The further course of the border via Möllendorffstraße into Storkower Straße is also on the northern edge (without the road area). 65 meters west of Paul-Junius-Straße, it changes to the southern edge of the road, in order to coincide with the district boundary before Storkower Straße 128 (southwest) to the Ringbahngraben . The district of Pankow borders the district on the north side of the railway line over the Thaerstraßenbrücke , excluding the Landsberger Allee bridge and along the southern edge of Landsberger Allee. From the corner of Karl-Lade-Straße , the district remains on the east side (extended to the south) of Oderbruchstraße (without its streets). At the intersection with Maiglöckchen- / Herbert-Tschäpe-Strasse , the district boundary changes to the northern edge of Hohenschönhauser Strasse, including its streets and the residential area east of the Prenzlauer Berg park . Before the district reform in 2001, the continuation of Oderbruchstrasse, covered by the Oderbruchkippe, directly to the southeast corner of the Jewish cemetery on the area of the district belonged to Lichtenberg. The divided Volkspark came completely to the Pankow district in 2001 and the district boundary bends north-west opposite Otto-Marquardt-Straße along the access road around the tennis courts. The boundary of the district bends at a right angle to the northeast, continuing on the "main road" between the allotment gardens (KGA 'Langes Höhe' is located in the district). The northern strip of land of the KGA at the eastern end of the Jewish cemetery is the further border run into the road 106 (a remnant of the unconverted Oderbruchstrasse) to the southwest sidewalk of the Weißenseer Weg, which ends the circuit of the district.
history
Planning
In April 1961, the design of the residential area Lichtenberg (north) began. The planning was divided into three construction phases. The total area to be built on covered an area of 175 hectares . In Erich-Kuttner-Strasse on the edge of the area (construction phase I), the first house of the future panel building type P2 was built, one of the most frequently built apartment types in the GDR . The building, built as a model and experimental building, is now a listed building.
From the 1960s onwards, some allotment gardens and an old perimeter development around Roederplatz had to give way to today's new building area . The first calls for tenders for the development of the damp area were issued as early as 1956/1957 as the all-German architecture competition Fennpfuhl , which was won by the Hamburg architect Ernst May . The realization was postponed indefinitely because of the expected problems with draining the area and for lack of money.
Construction phase from 1972 to 1986
On December 2, 1972, with the laying of the foundation stone for the double high-rise at Roederplatz, the official start of construction for the area at Fennpfuhl, which became the GDR's first coherent large-scale prefabricated housing estate . Over the next few years, residential buildings for 50,000 residents were built in what was then Lichtenberg (North) . Little was left of the very thin old buildings. In addition to a larger complex of residential buildings from the beginning of the 20th century between Karl-Lade- and Erich-Kuttner-Strasse, there are only a few buildings on Alfred-Jung-Strasse and between Josef-Orlopp-Strasse and Herzbergstrasse on the east side of the Möllendorffstrasse available. In addition, there is the school building on Paul-Junius-Straße , which was put into operation in 1912 (since the end of the 1990s: Lichtenberg music school and adult education center ), a former factory owner's villa on Anton-Saefkow-Platz , a children's home on Möllendorffstraße and remains of a former leather trading office in Franz-Jacob-Straße.
Simultaneously with the renaming of Landsberger Chaussee in the area to Leninallee , six newly laid streets were named on July 11, 1973 north of Landsberger Chaussee and east of Weißenseer Weg . As well as five other streets and Anton-Saefkow-Platz, which were named on April 2, 1975 in the center and south of the area, they were named by communist resistance fighters against National Socialism from the group around Anton Saefkow , Franz Jacob and Bernhard Bästlein . On January 14, 1976, the Weissenseer Weg was renamed Ho-Chi-Minh-Strasse after the first (north) Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh, and Möllendorffstrasse was renamed Jacques-Duclos-Strasse after the French communist politician Jacques Duclos .
The development around Anton-Saefkow-Platz, planned as a social center, with residential high-rise buildings with shops, a swimming pool, a sports hall and a department store ( consumer ) , on the other hand, as well as the construction of the Fennpfuhl Park lasted until the 1980s due to construction problems due to the boggy subsoil .
Between 1978 and 1981, the former Fennpfuhl was connected to the equally old Langpfuhl to form a continuous body of water and a bridge was built over the connecting canal, the Fennpfuhlbrücke . A park was created around the water using existing old trees. A two-story inn, the Seeterrassen , was built directly on the Fennpfuhl. The name of this restaurant was presumably a reference to the Seeterrasse entertainment venue, which existed here at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century , was well attended and also hosted cultural events, for which it even had grandstands.
In 1983/1984 construction workers from Schwarzenberg in the Ore Mountains built the Protestant community center Am Fennpfuhl on the edge of the park (see picture). It was the second new church to be completed on the basis of a new church building program agreed on March 6, 1976 between Erich Honecker and Albrecht Schönherr .
The factory owner's villa in the neoclassical style, which had been preserved from the previous development in 1905/1906 and which had served the construction management for Lichtenberg (North) during the construction period, was renovated after construction was completed and on May 12, 1986 became the new location of the Berlin-Lichtenberg registry office was previously located in the Lichtenberg town hall .
Changes and additions from 1987 to 1990
On Leninallee at the corner of Ho-Chi-Minh-Strasse, the plans included a sports facility with a cinder track and a football stadium. The area was kept open for a long time. But after a visit to the new building area by representatives of the then Berlin magistrate , residential development was carried out at this point. Four point high-rise buildings were built . A smaller sports field was then completed a little further south on Ho Chi Minh Street .
After 1990
The quality of trade and services in the district has been significantly improved through renovations or new buildings. The Horten department store moved into the old consumer building (later Kaufhof until April 2007), the three buildings of the former construction workers' hotel northeast of the residential area were combined with a new building (for which the club restaurant Suhler Eck was demolished) and a new hotel complex (since 2010: Quality Hotels and Holiday Inn ) upgraded with its own Wilhelmsberg restaurant . The shopping and office centers Storkower Bogen at the S-Bahn station Storkower Strasse , City-Point-Center at Roederplatz and Landsberger Spitze at Landsberger Allee / corner of Oderbruchstrasse were created. Immediately to the west of the area at the Landsberger Allee S-Bahn station, the Forum Landsberger Allee shopping and service center on the corner of Storkower Strasse was opened on November 5, 1998.
The main thoroughfares that cross the district , Leninallee, Ho-Chi-Minh-Strasse and Jacques-Duclos-Strasse, were given their previous names in 1992 following recommendations from the Berlin Senate.
Almost all residential buildings were renovated by 2001. The owner of most of the residential buildings in the Fennpfuhl area was from the start a cooperative, AWG - Elektrokohle , from which the Lichtenberg e. G. (WGLi) was. This cooperative renovated its residential buildings between 1991 and 2001, the surrounding area was upgraded with green spaces and parking facilities. The old people's home on Judith-Auer-Strasse was also extensively renovated. The former HO store on Judith-Auer-Strasse / the corner of Landsberger Allee, into which Kaiser’s moved briefly , gave way to a new building, the Castello , a residential and business complex. The building with its very idiosyncratic architecture was designed by the German architect Hinrich Baller .
After the renovation of the Fennpfuhl area was completed, the WGLi moved from its old temporary barracks on Paul-Junius-Strasse to a new building on Landsberger Allee, which also has attractive condominiums. In the place of the barracks, a horticultural facility was built in autumn 2007, which extends the Fennpfuhlpark.
The Seeterrassen restaurant complex was emptied around the year 2000 after a few attempts at new management. Because no new operator or buyer could be found, the building was demolished in October 2008. The area was gradually leveled and integrated into the park.
The association Junge Tauchpioniere Berlin e. V. carried out an extensive thorough cleaning of the lake in 2010.

traffic
The transport network of the district of Fennpfuhl is essentially determined by four streets. In a north-south direction, this is the Weißenseer Weg , which , coming from Weißensee , turns into Möllendorffstraße at Roederplatz and continues to the former village center of Lichtenberg . In an east-west direction, Landsberger Allee runs from United Nations Square through the area towards Marzahn . In the west of the district, two streets go from it to the north and south-east: Oderbruchstrasse, then Hohenschönhauser Strasse, which turns into Konrad-Wolf-Strasse at the intersection of Weißenseer Weg , and Karl-Lade-Strasse. The tram route in extension of Karl-Lade-Straße continues at Roederplatz in Herzbergstraße . On the south-western edge, Storkower Straße runs parallel to the Ringbahn , which is also the district boundary. The two ring stations Landsberger Allee and Storkower Straße , opened in 1895 and 1881, are already outside the district.
Due to its location relatively close to the center and the specified main road network, the area was already well developed by public transport before the residential area was built . On June 12, 1893, a tram line of the Neue Berliner Pferdebahn-Gesellschaft went into operation, coming from Friedrichsberg train station (later Frankfurter Allee ) via Lichtenberg and Roederplatz to the Herzberge insane asylum . The Berlin – Hohenschönhausen tram began operating on October 22, 1899, followed by the tram line through Roederstrasse on November 2, 1912 (Karl-Lade-Strasse and its extension since the 1970s). The tram line through Weißenseer Weg was added on July 2, 1927. This was part of the so-called Nordring, which led from Lichtenberg via Weißensee on towards Wedding. All routes are still in operation. You can use the tram lines M5, M6, M8, M13, 16 and 21 within the district .
From January 14, 1953, a trolleybus line ran through the later district in addition to the tram . Line O14 ran from Loeperplatz via Roederplatz to Lichtenberg station. It was later combined with the O30 line and expanded into a ring line. The second line was the O41 (from 1960: O37) from the Leninallee / Dimitroffstraße intersection over Leninallee to Bürknersfelde and later to Lichtenberg station. By the beginning of 1973 the trolleybus traffic in East Berlin was stopped again and the lines switched to omnibuses. In the 1980s two bus routes operated in the residential area, the 30 series as the successor to the O30 trolleybus line and the 56 series . The latter came from Weißensee and led via Storkower Strasse, Leninallee, Vulkanstrasse, Herzbergstrasse and Jacques-Duclos-Strasse (again Möllendorffstrasse since 1992 ) to the Storkower Strasse S-Bahn station and served large parts of the new development area on its way. After the political change , the lines were given the numbers 240 and 156; The 240er changed its route in 1993 and has since ended at the Storkower Straße S-Bahn station, the 156er has been running directly from Storkower Straße to the S-Bahn station of the same name since 1994, the route via Landsberger Allee and Roederplatz was abandoned. The routes of both lines in the district have remained largely constant since then (as of 2020).
