The Weißensee district was an administrative district of Berlin from 1920 to 2000 . It last comprised the present-day districts of Weißensee , Heinersdorf , Blankenburg , Karow and the suburb of Malchow . The area of the district has belonged to the Pankow district since January 1, 2001 .
location
The Weißensee district bordered the old Pankow district in the west and north , the state of Brandenburg in the northeast, the Hohenschönhausen district in the east and the Prenzlauer Berg district in the south . Today the area of the former district forms the eastern part of the Pankow district.
history
When Greater Berlin was formed in 1920, the 18th administrative district was formed from the following areas that had previously belonged to the Niederbarnim district:
- Rural community Weißensee (45,949 inhabitants)
- Rural community Hohenschönhausen (6734 inhabitants)
- Rural community Malchow (486 inhabitants)
- Malchow Manor District (363 inhabitants)
- Rural community Wartenberg (244 inhabitants)
- Wartenberg Manor District (152 inhabitants)
- Rural community Falkenberg (351 inhabitants)
- Falkenberg Manor District (348 inhabitants)
The district was named Weißensee after its most populous district .
At the end of the Second World War , the Weißensee district was taken by Soviet forces on April 23, 1945 . The district then became part of the Soviet Sector of Berlin and thus belonged to East Berlin until 1990 .
On January 5, 1979, the Weißensee district gave the eastern part of the Falkenberg district , which consisted of former sewage fields , to the new Marzahn district . In the mid-1980s there was a fundamental reorganization of the boroughs in the north-east of Berlin. The districts of Hohenschönhausen , Wartenberg , Falkenberg and the old village center of Malchow and the Margarethenhöhe settlement left the Weissensee district on September 1, 1985 and formed the new Hohenschönhausen district . The Malchow suburban settlement and the Märchenland allotment garden remained in the Weissensee district. On January 1, 1986, the districts of Heinersdorf , Karow and Blankenburg were reclassified from the Pankow district to the Weissensee district.
On January 1, 2001, the Weißensee district was merged with the Prenzlauer Berg district and the old Pankow district to form the new Pankow district.
