history
The place Brieskow-Finkenheerd was first mentioned in 1354 under the name Wrissigk. Since 1883 the fishing and farming village called Brieskow, which developed into an industrial community with the revolution of 1848/1849 . The name Finkenheerd first appeared on a land map from 1750. It had its origins in an area where bird caterpillars laid batting twine to catch birds . Until 1846 there was only an inn and a lock keeper's house. With the construction of the Lower Silesian-Märkische Railway in 1846, factories and houses were built at the Finkenheerd site. The Deutsche Reichsbahn, the successor to the Lower Silesian-Märkische Eisenbahn, gave the station with all its industrial facilities the name Finkenheerd around 1900. The district did not have its own official administration until the end of the Second World War . The district of Brieskow carried out the administrative business by then. In 1941 a camp for 400-800 forced laborers from different nations was built, who were used in the expansion of the Märkische Elektrizitätswerke .
On January 1, 1949, the municipality name was changed to Brieskow-Finkenheerd.
Brieskow belonged to the district of Lebus in the province of Brandenburg since 1817 and from 1952 to the district of Eisenhüttenstadt-Land in the GDR district of Frankfurt (Oder) . The community has been in the Oder-Spree district in Brandenburg since 1993.

Churches
Protestant church
Until 1934 the place had no Protestant church. The Protestant believers went to the village church in Lossow , a current district of Frankfurt (Oder). The foundation stone for its own church was laid in 1932; On July 29, 1934, the Martin Luther Church in Brieskow-Finkenheerd was inaugurated. After the Second World War, damaged by grenade impacts, the church served the Red Army as a stable for horses. In 1968 the chancel was redesigned. The south-eastern wall of the apse was given small, circularly arranged and colorfully glazed windows.
The organ built by the Sauer organ building company has stood in the back of the church since 1973 and for which the congregation collected donations for ten years. In 1998/99 a thorough renovation took place and the roof was re-covered. A cross with a stylized globe was attached to the access side. The church was rededicated on October 31, 2001. The church was given a new pulpit in 2003. It bears Martin Luther's family coat of arms ; in a wreath of roses the heart and in it the cross. Behind the church is a belfry with three bells from 1966 hanging in it. The Martin Luther Church in Brieskow-Finkenheerd maintains close contact with the parish in Cologne-Klettenberg .
Catholic Church
It is thanks to the long-term efforts of the Frankfurt parish with the Breslau prince-bishop to have its own place of worship for the congregation that a Catholic church could be consecrated in the village in 1934. It is consecrated to St. Barbara , the patroness of miners. The compact building with a small bell tower rises on a garden plot. A Latin inscription with a relief of the patron saint refers to the donor of the chapel is located under the tower. A picture of St. Barbara hangs in the anteroom . In 1969 the church was renovated; In 2000 it was given a different color scheme and the gallery was opened. Since June 2004 the church has been used by the Russian Orthodox Church of Christ the Redeemer in Frankfurt (Oder) (Moscow Patriarchate).
New Apostolic Church
Since 1988 the citizens of Brieskow-Finkenheerd, who are committed to the New Apostolic Church , have built their own house of worship in Groß Lindow , in over 4,000 hours of voluntary work, in which members of neighboring congregations also participated. At this point in time the congregation celebrated its 40th anniversary. In addition to pastoral work, music is particularly important to the community. Her choir also performs outside of the church, such as in the Müllrose retirement and nursing home.

Economy and Infrastructure
economy
The place Brieskow-Finkenheerd had been a farming and fishing village since 1354; later it became an industrial site. The place became an important traffic junction around 1668. With the emergence of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Canal in Brieskow-Finkenheerd there was a brisk shipping and handling traffic . Rapid industrialization took place through the construction of the Lower Silesian-Märkische Railway, whose rail line crossed the Friedrich Wilhelm Canal around 1846 and thus attracted numerous entrepreneurs. A furnace factory, a lime distillery, a wood and impregnation factory, a roof and sandstone distillery, and finally a cutting mill in 1877 were built in the village. In 1874, the Richard Sonnenburg company began producing glucose syrup ; around 1920 this was taken over by the Maizena works and continued and expanded under the name Finkenheerder Obstwerke AG .
- Finkenheerd power plant
As early as 1916, the Märkische Elektrizitätswerk, under its newly appointed CEO Georg Warrelmann, decided to build a lignite power station in Finkenheerd . But it was not until some time after the end of the First World War in 1921 that the construction of the power plant on Brieskower See, 13 kilometers from Frankfurt (Oder), could begin. The technical concept was developed by Warrelmann, the machine equipment was supplied by Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG). The existing briquette factory was shut down, new opencast mines opened and new shafts sunk . Electrical energy was now obtained from the coal extracted. In 1923, the first two turbine sets were put into operation, which together had a capacity of 12.5 megawatts and generated 200 million kilowatt hours of electricity by the time they were shut down. The system initially had two 110 meter high chimneys (built by the construction company Dyckerhoff & Widmann AG), later a total of six chimneys up to 125 meters high. The power plant was supposed to supply Frankfurt (Oder) and another 21 districts with electricity. In 1924 and 1928 additional, more powerful turbines were installed. The sixth turbine followed in autumn 1931, with a total output of 170 megawatts.
Despite the severe destruction of the place during the Second World War, the six chimneys remained. After the end of the war, power plants began repairing the machines. The first turbine started up in June 1945. As early as July 10, 1945, the power plant was supplying the trams in Frankfurt (Oder) again. In the course of reparations payments , four turbines were dismantled and transported to the Soviet Union. The power plant supplied businesses in the vicinity, schools and crèches. In 1972, the plant was also set up to generate district heating . 22,000 households in Frankfurt were connected to the plant via a 57-kilometer line and thus received their heating energy. The plant was shut down in 1992 due to the unacceptably high level of air pollution. The last two chimneys were then blown up on October 10, 1998. In total, the plant consumed 90 million tons of raw lignite during its existence.
Established businesses
Today's economy is shaped by the fishing industry, various craft businesses and engineering and civil engineering .
traffic
The federal highway 112 runs through the community from Frankfurt (Oder) to Eisenhüttenstadt.
The section of the Lower Silesian-Märkische Railway crosses the municipality. The Finkenheerd power station stop is in the Brieskow district; the Finkenheerd stop offers a good connection to the center of Finkenheerd and to Groß Lindow. Both stations are served by the regional train line RB 11 (Frankfurt (Oder) –Cottbus).
media
A regional Internet television for the Oder-Spree district is located in the village.
fire Department
In 1908 the Brieskow-Finkenheerd volunteer fire brigade was founded. The hand pump was pulled to the source of the fire by horses provided by farmers . A sheet of metal, which served as a reminder of this obligation, was passed from farm to farm. In 1943 the fire brigade had to move to Berlin for a week to fight the consequences of the air war. The carefully maintained technology was damaged and after two years it was as good as destroyed. On the orders of the Soviet local commander, the fire brigade was re-established in April 1946. The comrades brought equipment from various locations in order to be able to maintain the functionality of the fire brigade. An old Chevrolet was set up as an additional fire truck with great effort.
The fire station was supplemented by a workshop, a drying tower as well as an apartment for the caretaker and a farm building. It was used, for example, to fight a damage in the power plant on January 12, 1962, an impending disaster with a tank car of the Deutsche Reichsbahn filled with highly explosive gas on May 11, 1974, and during the flood of the Oder in 1997 .
