Boxhagen-Rummelsburg
Boxhagen-Rummelsburg was a rural municipality in the Niederbarnim district from 1889 to 1912 . After 1938, the area of the former rural community was incorporated into today's Berlin districts of Friedrichshain ( Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district ) and Rummelsburg ( Lichtenberg district ).
location
The community was in the area of today's districts Friedrichshain and Rummelsburg. It extended over a strip of about five kilometers in northwest-southeast direction, which rarely reached more than a kilometer in width. To the west of the Ringbahn belonged the area between Simon-Dach-Straße in the west, Simplonstraße in the south, the street Boxhagener Straße - Wismarplatz - Weserstraße on the border with Friedrichsberg in the north, as well as today's Ostkreuz train station . To the east of the Ringbahn were the boundaries of the municipality north of today's Kaskel and Lückstrasse and further north of the railway line to Frankfurt (Oder) up to the level of Blockdammweg; in the south the Spree and Rummelsburger See formed a natural border. When the community was founded, the main settlements were the colony around the Boxhagen suburbs, Rummelsburg , the Victoriastadt and the Lichtenberger Kietz colony .
history

The first documentary mention of Boxhagen dates back to the 14th century, when it was written in Buchshagen , it was a meadow area in front of their city that Berlin citizens liked to use. As Vorwerk (with dairy ) from Berlin, it first appeared in the files in 1591, after which the settlement changed hands several times. The small settlement is marked as Buckshagen on a historical map of old Berlin and the surrounding area from 1778 . In 1808 the Vorwerk with the Boxhagen colony outside the borders of Berlin came to the Niederbarnim district as the Boxhagen manor district . In the statistical paperback from 1830, only 16 houses are noted for Boxhagen (then Bockshagen ).
The independent rural community Boxhagen-Rummelsburg came into being in 1889. Adolph Schlicht became the community leader and held this office until 1901. In the following years extensive residential and industrial development began. The settlement of Knorr-Bremse in today's Neue Bahnhofstrasse is worth mentioning, for example . The Ostkreuz station was called Stralau-Rummelsburg from its opening in 1882 to 1933 . The town hall of the community was built on Türrschmidtstraße in Victoria City and has housed the local history museum of the Lichtenberg district since 2006 .
Later on, residential ensembles for wealthier citizens were built in the middle of the working-class district. From 1911 onwards, Friedrichsberger Bank built the houses on Knorrpromenade . The official housing estate Helenenhof was built on Sonntagstrasse between 1904 and 1906 .
From 1912 the rural community belonged to the city of Lichtenberg. When Greater Berlin was formed in 1920, Lichtenberg and Boxhagen-Rummelsburg were incorporated into Berlin. During an administrative reform in 1938, the parts to the west of the Ringbahn came to Friedrichshain , then known as the Horst Wessel administrative district .
The part of Boxhagen-Rummelsburg east of the Ringbahn remained in Lichtenberg; since the Berlin administrative reform in 2001 it has belonged to the Rummelsburg district of the Lichtenberg district.
Little reminds of the Boxhagen settlement west of the Ringbahn. The area is almost completely absorbed by the Friedrichshain development. The Vorwerk Boxhagen has completely disappeared. Only the houses at Boxhagener Strasse 70-72 are reminiscent of the original development of the colony. The street names Boxhagener Platz and Boxhagener Straße remain . The evangelical parish, to which the area of the former manor district Boxhagen belongs, bears the name Boxhagen-Stralau . Some continuous streets change their names to this day at the former municipal boundaries.
