history
Rahnsdorf was founded as a Slavic fishing village between Müggelspree and Müggelsee . Its local form of a dead end village is typical of the first settlement phase of the German newcomers, probably in the first third of the 13th century. In 1375 the place was mentioned for the first time in the land book of Charles IV as Radenstorf . Rahnsdorf belonged to Köpenick Castle and was not anchored because there were no fields in 1450. In 1487 the place had fishing rights in the waters of the Köpenick Castle . Its inhabitants do kossätendienst , probably through fishing and corresponding delivery obligations to the castle. There were now 16 hooves, four of which belonged to Schulzen . During the Middle Ages , Rahnsdorf never had a village church . A first village church was only mentioned around 1660/1670. In 1801, Rahnsdorf was still a fishing village with almost 20 villagers who did not own farms with hoof ownership , but only cottages . In 1856 there were already 43 families.

In 1872 the village burned down completely and was then rebuilt. In the 1890s, Hessenwinkel was expanded into a villa colony and incorporated into Rahnsdorf in 1891. During the same period, the Neu-Rahnsdorf villa colony was founded on the initiative of the German People's Building Society for citizens from the common people. In 1902 this colony with the central square and the star-shaped streets were named Wilhelmshagen . In 1912/1913 the Triglawbrücke was built , which connected the island south of the "new Spree" (since 1879) with Hessenwinkel.
On November 11, 1916, there was a serious railway accident near the Rahnsdorf train station : a gang of female track construction workers - women were deployed here due to the labor shortage in the First World War - waved to the soldiers of a passing military train. In doing so, they overheard the warning signal - given too late - for a train approaching the track on which they were standing. 19 women were killed. The guard was sentenced to one year in prison .
When Greater Berlin was formed in 1920, it was incorporated into the Cöpenick administrative district with 2,700 inhabitants , initially separated from Rahnsdorf and Wilhelmshagen. The lagoon-like water sports colony New Venice on the Müggelspree was created in 1926 and has developed into a residential and weekend settlement to this day. In 1929 the primary school was built on the Püttbergen and in 1933 the Church of the Three Kings .
During the Second World War , the Berlin-East workers transit camp was set up in the forest east of Wilhelmshagen, through which hundreds of thousands of forced laborers ran between 1942 and 1945 . It had its own rail connection and a concrete ramp that has been preserved to this day. The forced recruited workers from all occupied European countries were registered in 20 barracks and housed for a few days before they were distributed to armaments factories in Berlin and the surrounding area.
To DDR -times one was in the district of FDJ - camps built for children's holiday activities and entertainment.
Buildings
The village church Rahnsdorf was built between 1886 and 1888 according to plans by the Royal Building Councilor Paul Spieker and the Prussian district building inspector Friedrich Wilhelm Koppen. Inside there are two chalices from the 16th and 18th centuries as well as choir windows by Lothar Mannewitz . On the left side is Peter’s fish haul from the Gospel according to Luke ( Luke 5,3-11 EU ), in the middle Jesus Christ from the Revelation of John ( John 4,2-11 EU ) and on the right the risen one at the meal with the To see disciples at the lake from the Gospel according to John ( John 21.4-14 EU ). The candlesticks on the stalls and the candle chandelier are a design and gift of the architect Robert Wischer . An organ from the workshop of the Dinse brothers has stood on the west gallery since 1888 .
The Catholic Church of the Three Kings , designed by the architect Josef Vassillière , stands on the slope of the Schonungsberg. It was designated as an emergency church on July 8, 1934 .
