history

Coat of arms of the Mahlsdorf district , 1987

Mahlsdorf was founded around 1230 - like all other localities in the Berlin area on the Barnim. It was a north-south oriented street village ; the village church is on the west side of the street. The old long-distance trade route from Berlin via Frankfurt to Posen and Gnesen ran south of the church of the village, which was later expanded along the extended long-distance trade route. It was first mentioned in a document in 1345 as Malterstorp . In the land book of Charles IV of 1375 the village is mentioned with 50 Hufen , including 4 Pfarrhufen ( Wedemhof ); there was also a jug . In 1450, 2 church hooves were also mentioned, and in 1459 Mahlsdorf was part of the archdeaconate of Berlin. The village rights were shared by von Grieben and von Falkenberg, who also had church patronage accordingly . From 1613 to 1619 Mahlsdorf was owned by the von Pfuel family .

In 1753, by decree of the Prussian King Friedrich II. Colonists from Plattenhardt in Württemberg settled in the new district of Kiekemal , which came from the Barnim district . Until the beginning of the 19th century there was only a minor development with around 250 inhabitants. After that, there was explosive growth - especially in the early days of the company - supported by a railway station that opened in 1885.

Mahlsdorf belonged to the Niederbarnim district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg . In 1920 - 6000 inhabitants lived here at that time - it was incorporated into Berlin and belonged to the Lichtenberg district (in the GDR "city district"). In 1979 Mahlsdorf became part of the then newly formed urban district of Marzahn , and in 1986 of the then newly created urban district of Hellersdorf .

population

The growing number of inhabitants results mainly from the construction of houses and from the establishment of new settlement areas, e.g. B. the Dürer Gardens on Landsberger Straße in Mahlsdorf-Nord or the Theodorgärten between Hultschiner Damm, Alt-Mahlsdorf and Pilgramer Straße in Mahlsdorf-Süd.

Old parish church Mahlsdorf

The oldest building in Mahlsdorf is the old parish church from the 13th century at Hönower Straße 13. The church is originally an early Gothic stone building. Typical of the period that was nave as stocky nave hall running to the east by a fed, rectangular chancel connects with a straight rectangular choir. In some places the outlines of the early Gothic windows, which were walled up in 1699 and replaced by oversized arched openings, can still be seen.

In the late Middle Ages, a narrow rectangular tower was added to the west tower, which was as wide as the ship's width up to the eaves cornice . Its gable roof dates from around 1900 and runs contrary to custom from west to east. The usual sacristy extensions are located on both sides of the choir .

The medieval room structure of the interior can still be recognized by the pointed triumphal arch between the nave and the choir. One of the bells bears the year 1488. A stone tablet with his coat of arms reminds of Lampert Distelmeyer , Chancellor of Elector Joachim II . The pulpit was a gift from his son-in-law Johann von Kötteritz from around 1620.

The altar is almost 100 years younger with images of Mary , John and the city of Jerusalem in the background (1710). A tombstone adorned with coat of arms in the southern sacristy annex is dedicated to Gertraut Grieben, married housewife of Peter Bretzke zu Stettin , who died in 1579 .

Kreuzkirche
