history
The foundation stone for what was then the Dietrich-Eckart settlement was laid on March 13, 1934 - in front of the eyes of 200 settler families with 428 children and 2,400 employees of the Hirsch Kupfer- und Messingwerke AG, which later became the Finow brass factory . Hirsch Kupfer- und Messingwerke AG had already acquired the building site around 1920 from Elard von Oldenburg , Lord Chamberlain at the time . The company, headed by Siegmund Hirsch at the time , and the Kurmärkische Kleinsiedlung Gesellschaft were the developers. The later residents had to help build the houses. Individual houses and semi-detached houses were built in type construction . In three construction phases, 305 settlement sites were built by around 1937. All settlers had to join the German Settlers Association and recognize the Reichsheimstättengesetz .
The green areas of the Clara-Zetkin-Siedlung were designed by the landscape architect Gustav Allinger .
The founding meeting of the volunteer fire brigade took place on June 13, 1935.
In March 1937 the foundation stone was laid for the school, which was originally only intended for eight classes. The school building is a listed building.
After the war ended in 1945, not only was the settlement renamed Clara-Zetkin-Siedlung, some streets were also given new names:
| before 1945 | from 1945 |
|---|---|
| Walter-Flex-Strasse | Jonny-Schehr-Strasse (now John-Schehr-Strasse) |
| Theodor-Fritsch-Strasse | Scheeringer Strasse |
| Hermann-Löns-Strasse | Schillerstrasse (now Beethovenstrasse) |
| Gorch-Fock-Strasse | Fichtestrasse |
| Eichendorffstrasse | Eichendorffstrasse |
| Theodor-Koerner-Strasse | Goethestrasse (now Heinrich-Mann-Strasse) |
| Fontanestrasse | Fontanestrasse |
The German Siederbund was dissolved after the war. The settlers now organized themselves into the branches of the Association of Allotment Gardeners, Settlers and Small Animal Breeders (VKSK) . In 1953, the settlers 'community built the settlers' home largely in-house. Furthermore, the sports field and the athletes' home were built.
During the GDR era, the school was initially set up as an eight-grade and later as a ten-grade polytechnic high school (12th POS "Clara Zetkin"). In order to create space for sanitary facilities and a kindergarten, a low-rise building was added to the school building. The new building was inaugurated on May 8, 1974. In 1984 the construction of a gym and a boiler house began, which were inaugurated in 1985. The school house was also connected to the boiler house.
The first expansion of the Clara-Zetkin-Siedlung took place in the 1970s and 1980s, when more homes were built between Fichtestrasse and the Oder-Havel Canal. Originally this area was also called Fichtestrasse. During the same period, in a wooded area west of the settlement, parcels were designated for use as weekend houses and built on.
In 1991 the general polytechnic high school became a six-class elementary school. The classes were dismantled in a multi-year step-by-step plan, so that the Clara Zetkin School was deleted from the Brandenburg state school register in the summer of 1997. From 1938 to 1997, 116 teachers taught 2174 students at this school. In the 1997/98 school year, the Finow primary school used the school building due to renovation work before the school was finally closed in 1998. The school house was sold and converted into a residential building. The gymnasium and boiler house were demolished and homes were built on the area. The rooms of the former kindergarten were converted into a meeting place and inaugurated on November 10, 2000.
In the 1990s, the city of Eberswalde renamed the street section south of Fichtestrasse to Fritz-Reuter-Strasse. The residential buildings were given new house numbers as part of the renaming.
A further expansion of the construction area took place in 1997 with the designation of further building plots on the newly built streets "Am Graben" and "Ligusterweg" east of the locality. The fourth and final construction phase was handed over in 2015. The originally planned expansion of the building area through the construction of two further access roads parallel to the "Ligusterweg" street was changed to the construction of an access road in June 2018 when the second amendment to the development plan no. 708 "Clara-Zetkin-Siedlung - Hinter der Fliederallee" came into force decreased. The aim is to reduce the building area by a quarter and to adapt the size of the property to requirements. Furthermore, the weekend house parcels to the west of the location were approved for permanent living, so that further homes were built there as well. The previously unpaved roads were given the street name "Zum Oder-Havel-Kanal".
On July 10 and 11, 2009 the 75th anniversary of the Clara Zetkin settlement was celebrated. At the time, the settlement consisted of 134 semi-detached houses, 112 private homes and ten rental apartments (in the former school). On June 14, 2014, the Clara Zetkin settlement celebrated its 80th birthday.
On June 13, 2015, the 80th anniversary of the volunteer fire brigade of the Clara Zetkin settlement was celebrated. At the time, the Clara-Zetkin-Siedlung voluntary fire brigade consisted of 18 active members, including three women.
In November 2015, with the handover of the thoroughly developed Fliederallee, the expansion of the streets in the Clara-Zetkin settlement, which began in 1996 with the expansion of Fichtestrasse, was completed.
On June 15, 2019, the 85th anniversary of the Clara Zetkin settlement was celebrated.
