Tempelhof is a district in the seventh Berlin district of Tempelhof-Schöneberg . Until the administrative reform in 2001, there was an independent Tempelhof district , the 13th district comprising the districts of Mariendorf , Marienfelde , Lichtenrade and the eponymous district of Tempelhof.

geology

The natural location of the Teltow

Natural location

In terms of natural space, Tempelhof belongs to the Teltow plateau south of the Berlin-Warsaw glacial valley with a mean height between 45 and 60 meters above sea level . The northwestern Teltow (with the Schäferberg) protrudes significantly beyond that.

Surface shapes

Tempelhof as part of the Teltow plateau has a typical ground moraine surface . It is flat and undulating and has very few lakes.

Both the closed plateau and the surrounding glacial valleys, such as the Berlin glacial valley , are cut up by glacial channels . Today they form chains of lakes, such as the Grunewaldseenkette so Nikolassee - Rehwiese - Schlachtensee - Krumme Lanke - Riemeisterfenn - Long Luch - Grunewaldsee - Hundekehlefenn - Hundekehlesee - Dianasee - Koenigssee - Halensee - Lietzensee - Herthasee - Hubertussee - Fennsee - (former) Wilmersdorfer lake - Volkspark Wilmersdorf - Rudolph-Wilde-Park . The gutters noticeably enliven the otherwise little agitated landscape. Some smaller, more isolated still waters, such as the Klarensee, Krumme Pfuhl and Wilhelmsteich, probably emerged from blocks of dead ice .

Floors

The widespread boulder clay surfaces have Lessives developed. They are considered fertile. Mostly there are transitional forms between the pale earth and the brown earth , sometimes also parabrown earths . Waterlogging in the form of pseudogleyen occurs only to a minor extent. On the meltwater sand surfaces, rather nutrient-poor brown soils formed. Depending on the composition of the sand, the brown earths can either be weakly de-activated or weakly podsolized .

The moist lowlands and deep glacial valleys are dominated by gullies and fens . The moors show clear signs of soil formation as a result of the drainage.

The anthropogenic (man-made) soils and urban soils are widespread. You can address them as young raw floors . Loose syrosemes and pararendzines predominate . Hortisols (garden floors), regosols and kolluvisols are also found here and there .

geography

Overview map of the Tempelhof district

The Tempelhof district is located in the northeast of the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district. Neighboring districts are Schöneberg in the west, Steglitz in the south-west, Mariendorf in the south, Britz in the south- east, Neukölln in the east and Kreuzberg in the north .

The border of the district runs in the north along the district border to Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg , and then leads south along General-Pape-Straße. From the level of the Südkreuz train station , the border runs along the Ringbahn to the southeast, and then meets Arnulfstrasse along Alboinstrasse and follows it westwards. From the S-Bahn line 2, it follows the rails south to the Teltow Canal . In the south it runs along the Teltow Canal, from Mariendorfer Damm it jumps to Ullsteinstrasse and continues on it towards the east. From Gottlieb-Dunkel-Straße, the border runs along the northern edge of St.-Michael-Kirchhof to the motorway junction 22 - Gradestraße of the A 100 . From this point the eastern district boundary runs together with the district boundary through various allotment gardens in the direction of the Teltow Canal, follow this a short distance to Tempelhofer Weg, then runs on its southwest side to Hattenheimer Strasse and then along Eschersheimer Strasse to meet Oberlandstrasse . From Bacharacher Strasse to the north, the border runs across the airport grounds, and after swiveling to the west at Lilienthalstrasse, it runs north again and finally comes back to the district border with Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg.

Settlement structure

Airlift Square

Tempelhof is characterized by a mixture of tenement and single-family housing estates as well as industrial and green areas ( parks , arbor colonies ). Commercial and industrial areas with typical industrial streets such as Gottlieb-Dunkel-Straße or Teilestraße have developed, especially along the Teltow Canal and the Neukölln-Mittenwald Railway around the Teltow Canal freight station . Also in the former Oberland on the southern edge of the Tempelhofer Feld , factories and film studios were built on Oberlandstraße in the 1930s, some of which are now listed buildings. There are different branches of industry that u. a. Produce refrigerators, messaging equipment, razor blades, iron structures and chocolate. Also on Oberlandstrasse is the bear settlement, protected as a garden monument, from the same construction period with almost 900 apartments.

Manfred-von-Richthofen-Strasse

On the border with Schöneberg, the eastern development of the Alboinplatz , protected as a garden monument , the Blanke Helle settlement in the so-called “Tempelhof Switzerland”, belongs to Tempelhof. The square itself and its western areas up to the Lindenhof settlement were also located in the Tempelhof district for a long time , but are now incorporated into the neighboring district of Schöneberg. Geologically, the Alboinplatz with its Blanke Helle lake is located in a glacial channel with several ponds and dead ice holes protected as natural monuments such as the Wilhelmsteich am Lehnepark , the Klarensee in the Alten Park and east of the Tempelhofer Damm the Krummen Pfuhl in the Franckepark. Today the depression is built over in many places and some bodies of water such as the former lake in today's Bose Park are no longer available. Nevertheless, the depression, which is still largely unobstructed on a map from 1901, can still be traced today, since the layout of cemeteries and parks - similar to the small Grunewald lake chain - largely follows the geological formation (see in detail with the location map from 1901 : Alboinplatz).

Village development on the Alt-Tempelhof village green

With Alt-Tempelhof , the former village road and the local subway station, but also refers to the area under farmhouses area of the former village, including the off-lying village church. Neu-Tempelhof is to the north of it, with the Ringbahn running between them . The Tempelhofer Damm runs in a north-south direction , which as the B 96 is both one of the main traffic axes in Berlin and the main shopping street in Tempelhof.

climate

Due to its modest relative height, Tempelhof, like the entire natural area of Teltow, in contrast to Fläming and Barnim , does not have any pronounced weather differences compared to its surrounding area. Like its surroundings, it lies in the transition area from the oceanic climate of Western Europe to the continental climate of Eastern Europe. The coldest month is January with average temperatures around −1 ° C, the warmest July with around 18 ° C. The average annual precipitation is around 550 mm (Großbeeren station: 555 mm / year from 1951 to 1980) with a pronounced summer maximum and winter minimum. The higher northwestern Teltow is likely to be provided with a little better rainfall.

history

Foundation, shape and original name of the village

Memorial plaque on the house, Alt-Tempelhof 21

The name Tempelhof goes back to the Knights Templar (Christian Knights of the Order) who built a defensive Komturhof here, probably around 1200 at the latest, which included the village of Tempelhof and settlements in Marienfelde, Mariendorf and Rixdorf . Without a doubt they should erect a locking bar across the Teltow ; who initiated their settlement ( Ascanians , Wettins , the Archbishops of Magdeburg or the Dukes of Silesia ) is still controversial in research to this day.

Tempelhof village church

Tempelhof around 1834 (map south )

As part of the state development of the so-called " Ostsiedlung ", a street perch village was founded on the middle Hohe Teltow around 1200, at the latest in 1210 "from wild roots" . It can still be clearly seen in the current development on the Alt-Tempelhof street between Neuer Straße and Fuhrmannstraße.

Under today's Tempelhof village church , the former church of the Komturhof, a previous building was archaeologically discovered, which the excavator dated to around 1200. Right from the start, the church was set apart, at a prominent altitude between what were originally four lakes. Only two of them are left today in Alten Park and Lehne Park; the pond under Reinhardtplatz was filled in and filled up in favor of a market area.

It is unclear whether the Komturhof or the village or both were built at the same time. This is also due to the lack of clarity as to what the original name of the village was. In the Middle Ages, a fortified place was referred to as a “ courtyard ”, so that, like the “ house ” in later Richardsdorf / Rixdorf , it cannot have referred to a village. The abundance of place name transfers from the Teltow to the Barnim and the neighboring Uckermark are striking : Blankenfelde , Britz , Buckow , Grunewald , Heinersdorf , Lichterfelde , Ruhlsdorf , Schmargendorf , Schöneberg , Schönow , Stegelitz , Wilmersdorf , Zehlendorf as well as Groß- and Kleinziethen . In the middle of them there is also Tempelfelde (between Bernau and Eberswalde ), for which there is no counterpart on the Teltow. It is therefore assumed with a high degree of probability that this was the original name of the village, which was later identified more strongly with the "Templer Hof", so that it took over its name.

First documentary mentions

overview

The villages of Tempelhof, Mariendorf, Marienfelde and Rixdorf were founded by the Knights Templar, which can only be deduced from inferences. There are no corresponding documents. It is known that raised Pope Clement V the Knights Templar 1312 and transferred the possession of the Order of St. John . Apparently the Tempelhof knights initially offered resistance and were therefore initially placed under a procurator of Margrave Waldemar ; It was not until 1318 that the transfer to the Johanniter was legally completed. For the first time a Johannite commander is mentioned for 1344 with express reference to Tempelhof: Burchard von Arenholz as "commendator in Tempelhoff".

Magister Hermannus de Templo (1247)

In 1247 a document was issued in Walkenried Monastery , with which the Bishop of Brandenburg transferred the tithe of 100 Hufen to this monastery in the Uckermark . Among the witnesses was a “Magister Hermannus de Templo”, but this document only proves that there was a man called “Hermann von Templo” at the time, whose master's degree gave him particular credibility.

The name addition templarius 'Templer', ' Tempelritter ' or de Templo 'vom Tempel', 'vom Templer-Orden' usually denotes a member of the Templar Order. It is also not uncommon for a commander to be referred to as magister .

The other witnesses are the abbots of the monasteries Zinna and Lehnin , the well-known provost Symeon de colonia (Simeon from Kölln ), pastor Heinrich von Oderberg , Johannes von Werneuchen and several clergymen of the Walkenried monastery . In the confirmation document of the Brandenburg Cathedral Monastery of the same day, two mayors ( Schulzen ) also appear as witnesses: Werner von Stettin and Marsilius von Berlin. A commander of the Knights Templar (magister de Templo) in the group of documentary witnesses, who mainly come from the Central Mark , fits best with the Komturhof on the Teltow.

Knight Jacobus of Nybede (1290)

In 1290 Tempelhof is mentioned as a place, but also indirectly: The knight Jacob von Nybede donated a brick barn (for their building material) to the Franciscan monastery church in Berlin, which is "between Tempelhof and Berlin", namely on the Kreuzberg , whereupon archaeological Indicate finds from the 1830s. Jacobus is not a Knight Templar. He may be the owner of the Ritterhufen, later known as Hahnehof; the courtyard was located on today's corner plot of Alt-Tempelhof / Tempelhofer Damm, with an allegedly archaeologically proven tower foundation.

Summary

Since the village was called Tempelhof in 1290 and in 1435, along with its neighboring villages, was owned by the Johanniter, who generally took over the Templar ownership in the Mark Brandenburg in 1318, research unanimously assumes that this settlement complex was founded by the Knights Templar. Apparently the village, at least the Komturhof, already existed in 1247; In any case, that is the most convincing classification of Master Hermann von Templo. After Pope Clement V ordered the dissolution of the order on March 22, 1312 by the Bull Vox in excelso , the place came to the Order of St. John in 1318 .

In 1344, the Order of St. John left the Schulzenamt to the Kölln citizen Johann Ryke (Reiche), which is also the first documentary evidence that Tempelhof was in the possession of the order.

From 1435 to 1800

In 1435 the Johanniter sold Tempelhof, Mariendorf, Marienfelde and Rixdorf to the city of Berlin . The Tempelhof (the manor) came into the possession of Benedix Birckholz.

On June 20, 1630, Christian Weiler, scion of a wealthy Brandenburg trading house in 17th century Berlin, bought Gut Tempelhof from the delinquent electoral mint master of Berlin, Liborius Müller, in order to sell it to the Count of Schwartzenberg soon afterwards . In 1796 Friedrich Heinrich Graf von Podewils acquired the estate.

The Tempelhof Field , first mentioned in 1351, was in 1772 under Frederick II. For Prussian parade ground and Paradeplatz. However, the field was only bought by the state in 1826/1827 and thus finally became a military training area and parade field.

Around 1883 the painter Arnold Böcklin failed on the Tempelhofer Feld with an attempt to create a motorless airplane.
In 1888 Germany's first football club was founded on Tempelhofer Feld with Germania 1888 .
In 1897 the airship designer Friedrich Hermann Wölfert and his mechanic had an accident on the Tempelhofer Feld with their gasoline-powered airship . David Schwarz's first rigid airship in the world also rose here in 1897.

In 1901 the meteorologists Arthur Berson and Reinhard Süring began their balloon flight with the Prussia on the Tempelhofer Feld to the world record height of 10.8 kilometers, which led to the discovery of the stratosphere in 1902.

In 1909, the American aviation pioneer Orville Wright set the world record for high altitude flight of 172 meters with his biplane on Tempelhofer Feld.

In 1910 the Prussian military administration sold the western part of the Tempelhofer Feld for 72 million marks (inflation-adjusted in today's currency: around 419,761,000 euros) to a real estate company. This area became Neu-Tempelhof .

In 1927 the American Atlantic crossers Clarence Chamberlin and Charles Levine landed.

In 1928 the Tempelhof aviation pioneer Hermann Köhl crossed the Atlantic from east to west together with James Fitzmaurice and Baron von Hünefeld .

In 1931 the airship " Graf Zeppelin " landed in Tempelhof after its flight to America.

Tempelhof Airport was created from 1923 . During the Berlin blockade , the Americans and British supplied the city with 1,736,781 tons of essential goods via Tempelhof Airport. 40 British and 31 Americans were killed. The Airlift Memorial was erected in 1951 in honor of the victims of the blockade .

Until the opening of the major Tegel Airport in 1975, all civil air traffic from West Berlin was handled in Tempelhof . After that he only served the US armed forces , which used him until 1993. In 1985 Tempelhof was reopened for civil traffic with small aircraft and finally closed in 2008. Tempelhofer Park has been located on the former airfield since 2010 .

From 1800 to the present

(Events not related to Tempelhof Airport)

1800-1920

In the early 19th century, Tempelhof developed from a farming village into a destination for Berliners who were looking for relaxation in the countryside. The inn at the intersection of Dorfstrasse and the road to Mariendorf, operated by Traugott Kreideweiß from 1828, became a popular entertainment and excursion restaurant, and Bismarck also stayed here several times. On the property (today Alt-Tempelhof 17/19 and Tempelhofer Damm 145/147) there has been the urban residential and commercial building "Zum Kurfürst" since 1911

In 1861 the Tempelhofer Unterland, also called Tempelhofer Vorstadt , in which over 5000 people now lived, and the Tempelhofer Berg, which had been named Kreuzberg after the iron cross on the National Monument for the Wars of Liberation , were incorporated into Berlin.

The southern border of the Tempelhofer Vorstadt was the northern border of the Tempelhofer Feld . B. the Dorfstraße and Alt-Tempelhof remained in the Teltow district .

After that, Tempelhof caught up with the development of Berlin, especially with the opening of the Ringbahn in 1871. In 1875 the horse-drawn tram also reached the place. In 1878 Tempelhof was connected to the gas supply. In 1892 a local council elected according to the three-class suffrage was introduced in Tempelhof, the first full-time councilor was Friedrich Mussehl (1855–1912). The power station went into operation in 1898. The Teltow Canal , completed in 1906, contributed significantly to Tempelhof's economic boom.

Since 1920

When Greater Berlin was formed in 1920, the 13th administrative district was formed from the rural communities of Tempelhof, Mariendorf (excluding the southern end ), Marienfelde and Lichtenrade , which existed until 2000.

Between 1933 and 1936, the National Socialists ran the first German concentration camp in the Columbiahaus .

The Tempelhof town hall was inaugurated in 1938.

In 1966 the extension of the underground line 6 to Alt-Mariendorf was opened by the then governing mayor Willy Brandt . In the same year Tempelhof's last tram line , line 96, was discontinued and replaced by buses .

Since 1981 Tempelhof has been crossed by the Berlin city motorway .

On January 1, 2001, the Tempelhof district was merged with the former Schöneberg district to form the new large Tempelhof-Schöneberg district.

Culture

There has been no cinema in the entire district since the beginning of the 1990s, most of the 12 well-known cinemas ceased operations in the 1960s. With the Columbiahalle (today: C-Halle) in the north and the Ufa factory in the south of Tempelhof, Tempelhof owns two commercial event locations known throughout Berlin with different approaches. With the opening of the shopping center in Tempelhof Hafen in 2009, a new, large building complex was added, which forms an ensemble with the old Tempelhof harbor. Small exhibitions and activities take place there on an irregular basis, as well as the harbor festival once a year.

Economy and Infrastructure

Attilastrasse station

In the district of the stations are Tempelhof and Attilastraße the S-Bahn Berlin . There is at Tempelhof Metro Stations Tempelhof , Alt-Tempelhof , Empress Augusta Street , Parade Street , Place of Airlift and Ullsteinstraße the metro line U6 .

The German Post AG operates in Tempelhof is one of 82 sorting centers in Germany.

↑ For this reason, the older discussion as to whether Templo represents a place name and where to look for this place is outdated because it was conducted in ignorance of Mayer's statements (note 6)

↑ Ten years earlier, in 1237, Symeon was not yet provost, but pastor of Kölln and, as a documentary witness in the Brandenburg tithe dispute, ensured the first documentary mention of the twin cities on the Spreepass.

↑ Especially because of the documentary witnesses Marsilius (Stadtschulze von Berlin), Symeon (Provost von Kölln) and Abbot Siger von Lehnin. However, the Komtur von Lietzen cannot be completely ruled out either, because de Templo means 'of the Templar Order' much more often than 'of Tempelhof'.
