Description of the district boundaries

The district boundary runs from the ferry to Rahnsdorf in the river (on the edge of the fairway closer to the district), the southern bank borders towards Hessenwinkel and leads at the Alter Spreearm into the Dämeritzsee to the city limits. From here the district boundary goes south (whereby the Spree upstream belongs to Müggelheim), and when it meets the city boundary with Spreenhagen , the boundary goes west, including the Gosener Wiesen with the Kaniswall. After crossing the Gosener Landstrasse , the boundary is on the (Gosener) Bruchweg to the neighboring district of Schmöckwitz . Furthermore, the district boundary runs through the Seddinsee , includes Windwall, Kleine Krampe and Windecke, touches the Krampenburg and runs in the middle of the Dahme up to the level of the Großer Rohrwall (which belongs to Grünau ). To the northeast follows the boundary to Köpenick , through the city forest of Köpenick, the (west) extended Eppenbrunner Straße forms the corner point. From there the border runs north, along the west of the Am Müggelberg property. Further north, where the road to Müggelhort / Müggelheimer Damm is crossed, the properties (belonging to Müggelheimer Damm) are in the district, and the border runs north to the property boundaries on the west side of Tonbergweg. In its extension, the border meets the Rahnsdorfer Flur on the south bank of the Kleiner Müggelsee . The border of the district mostly runs through water and forest areas, so the Müggelheimer Damm is the only road that continues into neighboring districts (to Köpenick), to the east the Gosener Landstrasse leads to the city limits and in the state of Brandenburg as L 39 (Köpenicker Strasse) directly to Gosen . In the system of living-world-oriented rooms according to statistical principles, Müggelheim has its own “Planning room 01 Müggelheim” within “District region 16 Müggelheim”.

history

Old school and church on the village green

Müggelheim was founded in 1747 by 20 families from Odernheim in the Duchy of Pfalz-Zweibrücken ; the history of the settlement is very similar to that of neighboring Friedrichshagen . The fact that these were religious refugees , as was often assumed in the past , is incredible because the Duke of Palatinate-Zweibrücken, who ruled in 1747, was of Protestant faith. King Friedrich II supported the settlement of the reformed emigrants with some privileges . Nevertheless, the settlers first had to create an existence for themselves through years of hard clearing and cultivation work on the barren sandy soils. The village church was not built until 1804, before the services were held in the prayer room of the schoolhouse built in 1763 on the village meadow. In 1920 it was incorporated into Greater Berlin as by far the smallest rural community with 186 inhabitants. Soon afterwards, numerous Berliners built their own homes or weekend houses in the quiet forest or lake location. Added to this was during World War II , the construction of temporary homes for the bombed-out city dwellers. In 1955 Müggelheim already had almost 5,000 inhabitants. With the planned construction of further apartments and homes in the self-construction in the following decades, the settlement grew to over 6000 residents. Street names that were established at the end of the 1920s and 1930s are reminiscent of the places of origin of the colonists in Müggelheim in the Palatinate. They were implemented when the “600er streets” of the Müggelheim settlement plan were laid out, expanded and built on. Other references were also used for designations after 1945.

In 1997 the European bird sanctuary Müggelspree in Müggelheim was established.

coat of arms

Current coat of arms
Coat of arms from 1987

As a district of Berlin, Müggelheim does not have an official coat of arms. The coat of arms, which was only created after the incorporation of Müggelheim into Greater Berlin, serves cultural and historical purposes. In the Göpel section, it shows a green bunch of grapes with nine berries and a leaf at the front, a golden (yellow) sheaf with five ears of wheat at the back and a silver (white) fish, twisting to the right, below. The original drawing of the coat of arms was made in 1946 in advance of the 200th anniversary of Müggelheim. It was based on the former official seal of the Müggelheim community leader, which was used before Müggelheim was incorporated into Greater Berlin in 1920 . The drawing teacher Carl Steinmetz from Müggelheim is considered to be the author of the original drawing of the coat of arms, which is owned by the Treptow-Köpenick district office. The grapes are symbolic of the legend of the winegrowers from the Palatinate. The bundle of ears of wheat symbolizes agricultural activity and the fish symbolizes fishing, a major livelihood of the later population. The waters in the vicinity of Müggelheim, but especially the Große Krampe , are a popular fishing paradise.

Since the coat of arms of Müggelheim was not officially awarded, there is no official template for the coat of arms and there are several versions of the coat of arms today. A common variant can already be found in the notes in the original drawing - there the right field (front) is tinged in yellow with a green bunch of grapes and a handwritten addition made in pencil refers to this field with the note "red". The left field (back) is tinged green in the original drawing with a yellow sheaf and the handwritten addition to this field is marked “white”. The lower field is tinged light blue in the original drawing with a yellow fish and two indicated waves, one each to the right and left of the fish. There is no further handwritten notice on this field. These handwritten changes were made in the run-up to the 200th anniversary celebration. It is no longer possible to determine when they were implemented. For the 200th anniversary in 1947, the coat of arms was used in the tinging of the original drawing. In the various coats of arms depictions, the figures (grapes, sheaves, fish) also differ in their depiction. In the book Als der Wappenbär was born by Heinz Machatscheck , published in 1987, the coat of arms can be seen in the changed tinging. In the front green grapes in a red field, behind a golden (yellow) sheaf in a silver (white) field and below a silver (white) fish in a blue field without indicated waves. The coat of arms is also covered with a version of the Berlin coat of arms as a heart shield. The heart shield shows the black Berlin bear in a blue shield, above the shield a red five-tower wall crown. The Berlin coat of arms should symbolize the affiliation to Berlin.

Since the 1990s, the coat of arms has been used again without a heart shield in the following tinging: In front a green bunch of grapes in a golden (yellow) field, behind a golden (yellow) sheaf with five ears in a red field and below a silver (white) writhing fish accompanied by two indicated waves in blue field. The coat of arms can be seen in this tinge on the sign (2009).

  3. ↑ Palatinate settlers received land for viticulture. "The vineyard sections of the 1st and 2nd stroke, which are located on the highest summit of the Müggelberge, called the Ehrenpforte, are very steep, and have a total of 35 acres of 80 square rods , are overgrown with strong back rods , pulling rods, oak trees and dead trunks."
    The land on the Müggelberg was unsuitable for growing wine. After the 15 years of tax exemption, they asked the authorities to swap the land in the Müggelberge with land on the Krampe . From a protocol of the files of the Secret Main State Archive Berlin from October 5, 1788 it emerges that their wish with the exchange "between the former Landjäger Hermannes and the municipality of Müggelheim made an exchange of a patch of forest for a piece of colonist land" according to the representation on the side of the Müggelheimer Heimatverein e. V.
