history
Emergence
Queen Elisabeth Christine , wife of Friedrich II. , Who had her residence in Schönhausen Palace in Niederschönhausen, bought land here in 1752. At that time it had become fashionable to plant mulberry plantations. From 1763 onwards, linen weavers and cloth makers were settled on the edge of the plantation , most of whom came from Bohemia . The street name "Tuchmacherweg" still reminds of this today. In 1791 the colony was named "Schönholz". Around 1840 the plantation became a small estate with a palace and park, the Schönholzer Heide . At the end of the 19th century, Schönholz had become a popular excursion destination for Berliners. The former rifle house in Hermann-Hesse-Straße, which belonged to the former garden restaurant “Schloß Schönholz”, is a reminder of this time. There was also the excursion restaurant "Kastanienwäldchen", which later changed its name to "Thiemanns Festsäle".
When the unified community of Greater Berlin was formed in 1920, Schönholz came to the Pankow district as part of Niederschönhausen. In 1938, an area strip east of the northern railway with the Waldsteg settlement, which had previously belonged to the Reinickendorf district, was assigned to the Pankow district and has since been included in Schönholz.
GDR time
In the GDR , Schönholz was postally assigned to Niederschönhausen, Rosenthal and Wilhelmsruh at different times . Since the construction of the Berlin Wall on August 13, 1961, the Schönholz S-Bahn station was no longer accessible to GDR citizens because it was in the West Berlin district of Reinickendorf. Parts of the garden and settlement colonies along the forest path, but also residential properties along the roads running west, were in the “ restricted area ”. As a result, those living there were only allowed to receive visits with special permission. The land in the area of the border strip was expropriated for the purpose of building the wall. The eastern parts of the Provincial, Spring and Klemkestrasse were separated from the respective western sections by the wall. For a certain time, however, the sewage still ran in the direction of Reinickendorf. This was only changed by the GDR at a later date.
After reunification
The Pankow Traffic School is now located south of the provincial road on the former border strip . To the north of the Provincial Road between Provincial and Klemkestrasse and on to Wilhelmsruh there are previously undeveloped green spaces.
traffic
In addition to the S1, S26 and S25 lines, bus lines 150, 327 and N52 also stop at Schönholz S-Bahn station .
