History and Development

In 1903, the businessman Hugo Burkhardt from Oberschöneweide and the editor Franz Schulz from Rixdorf acquired part of the Sand-Ende forest on the edge of the Birkholz district. The forest was cut down, the terrain measured and parceled out. The plots of the 'newly to be developed Colonie Birkholzaue villas' were sold exclusively to Berliners who love horticulture and who took the Wriezener Bahn to Blumberg and ran from there.

Only after the First World War was there a building and residential permit in 1919. Then the first massive residential buildings were built and permanent residents settled there.

Shortly before the end of the Second World War on April 21, 1945 there was fierce fighting on the Birkholzaue-Elisenau-Blumberg line.

When the government of the GDR issued the “Ordinance on Measures on the Demarcation Line between the German Democratic Republic and the Western Occupation Zones” on May 26, 1952, many West Berliners no longer came to their properties from June 1 and had to forcibly give them up . About half of the land in Birkholzaue belonged to West Berliners.

The radio tower of Birkholzaue .

The 110 meter high radio tower was built from 1958 to 1961 .

In 1988 the three allotment gardens were created at the southern end of Seestrasse.

The end of the GDR in 1990 meant the end of the restaurant, foundry, post office, library and the Association of Allotment Gardeners, Settlers and Small Animal Breeders (VKSK) some time later .

Since December 6, 1993, Birkholzaue has been part of the city of Bernau near Berlin as a residential area . Before that, Birkholzaue was part of the municipality of Birkholz in the Bernau district , to which, in addition to the village of Birkholz, the Neubauer settlement also belonged.

Children's playground "Am DrEi-Eck"

In 2014, Birkholzaue became an independent district of the city of Bernau and elected a local advisory board. The children's playground "Am DrEi-Eck" was also created this year.

Fairground

After years of use as a horse paddock, part of the former festival and sports field on the Alte Bernauer Landstrasse was returned to the Birkholzauers for use as a festival meadow in 2016.

Birkholzaue is a housing estate with around 538 inhabitants in around 280 households in 11 streets. The plots are on average 800 m² and mostly built with a single-family house.
