geography

location

The district is located in the northwest of Berlin. The neighboring districts are Spandau in the south - west , Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in the south, Mitte in the south-east and Pankow in the east . The entire north borders on the Brandenburg district of Oberhavel .

Settlement structure

Its character is shaped by forests and waters, but its southern parts have many similarities in terms of development with the neighboring district of Wedding in the Mitte district . In addition, Reinickendorf is home to the White City settlement, built between 1929 and 1931, and the Märkische Viertel , which was created as a large housing estate from 1963 to 1974 and is home to over 30,000 people. In the remaining parts of the village, single house development predominates, which in some areas such as Hermsdorf and especially Frohnau also takes on a villa-like character.

Natural monuments

The fat Marie , a pedunculate oak in the Tegeler Forest , is considered the oldest tree in Berlin. Their age is estimated to be 500–800 years. The tallest tree on Berlin soil is also in the Tegel Forest. The so-called Burgsdorf larch was planted in 1795 and reached a height of 42.5 meters in 2012. The Humboldt oak in the castle park Tegel reached 7.75 meters the largest trunk circumference of a standing tree in Berlin.

Ponds, basins and lakes

Ponds 2–18 are bodies of water in Frohnau and are located in the area of ​​the inland dune there ; due to their round shape, they are also called the “Blue Eyes of Frohnau”. In the other districts, too, there are round and almost round ponds, and some ponds are embedded in the damp green areas. The basins are often rain retention basins (RHB) and therefore only temporarily filled with water.

In the first election for the District Assembly (BVV), the SPD emerged as the winner with an absolute majority. It reached its peak in the 1948 election with an election result of 67.9% of the vote - the highest election result for a party in Reinickendorf since then. As the strongest parliamentary group, it was able to maintain its majority in the BVV until the 1981 election.

The Reinickendorfer CDU then managed to secure a majority in parliament in 1981, and in 1985 and 1999 even an absolute majority.

In 1989 the Social Democrat Detlef Dzembritzki succeeded in becoming mayor for six years. In the 1995 election, however, he failed because of the Christian Democrat Marlies Wanjura , who was elected as the first woman to be the district mayor of Reinickendorf. With it, the CDU achieved its highest result in 1999 of 56.5% of the votes cast. In 2009, Wanjura resigned from office with the election of her successor, the previous District Councilor Frank Balzer .

From 2011 the CDU and the Greens formed a counting community in the BVV. Since 2016 the CDU and SPD have formed a counting community in the BVV.

Jurisdiction

The district court of Wedding is responsible for general civil law in the Reinickendorf district .

Bundestag elections

In the federal elections in 2013, the Berlin-Reinickendorf district turned out to be the “most average constituency in Germany”. The results of the CDU, SPD, Left Party, Greens, FDP and AfD deviated only insignificantly from the federal result - on average by 0.8 percentage points and thus lower than in any other constituency.

coat of arms

→ Main article : Coat of arms of the Reinickendorf district

The current coat of arms of the Reinickendorf district was awarded by the Berlin Senate on November 28, 1955.

Description of the coat of arms: In a black shield a golden sloping bar, covered with a running red fox and accompanied by six (3: 3) golden ears of wheat. A red three-tower wall crown rests on the shield , the central tower of which is covered with a small Berlin coat of arms .

Justification for the coat of arms: The motif of the " Reineke Fuchs " as a talking coat of arms was taken from the Reinickendorf coat of arms. On the one hand, the golden ears of corn symbolize the agricultural character of the former independent communities in the district. On the other hand, the number of them symbolize the six incorporated communities: Heiligensee , Hermsdorf , Lübars , Reinickendorf , Tegel , Wittenau .
