geography

The place is in the area of ​​the geological plateau Zauche , southwest of the Berlin ring between Beelitz and Lehnin monastery . In the west and south, Borkwalde is enclosed by the Lehnin military training area and in the east by a 100  hectare “precautionary site for large-scale commercial and industrial projects”.

Community structure

Borkwalde has no officially designated districts, inhabited parts of the municipality or places to live .

history

Until the beginning of the 20th century, the territory of today's Borkwalde consisted only of forest. The place was created through the sale of forests that belonged to Kaniner and Busendorfer large farmers. There is no connection with the emergence of the Borkheide community. The judiciary Bredereck from Berlin is named as the first owner of the Borkwalde colony . In 1912 he acquired 150 acres of forest terrain in a very short time  . More and more Berliners are building houses and arbors in the quiet forest landscape , especially for weekend use. This is how the part of the settlement known today as Alt-Borkwalde came into being .

In the 1920s, there was another great settlement boom and the area was expanded to include the Saalberg colony. On April 19, 1928, the settlers founded the settlement weekend property owners association , which in 1932 changed its name to Borkwalde property association . The Borkwalder consider the year of this name change to be the year they were founded. Although only a few residents were officially registered, there were sometimes up to 3,000 people in the forest settlement on the weekends. The Deutsche Reichsbahn even advertised with a settlement card; Those who had less than 30 m² of living space could drive from Berlin to Bork for 60 pfennigs at the weekend  .

In recent times, too, numerous private homes and apartment buildings have been built on an area of ​​35 hectares - almost exclusively as colorful wooden houses ("Swedish settlement "). It is the largest contiguous wooden house settlement in Germany.

Administrative history

The Borkwalde colony was established in the area of ​​the municipality of Kanin in the Zauch-Belzig district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg . On June 1, 1938, Borkwalde was spun off from Kanin and raised to an independent municipality. From 1952 to 1993 Borkwalde belonged to the Belzig district (1952–1990 in the GDR district of Potsdam , 1990–1993 in Brandenburg ). The community has been part of the Potsdam-Mittelmark district since 1993.
