Fürstenwalde-Nord (obsolete: Morgenländer ) is one of three districts of the city of Fürstenwalde / Spree . Characteristic for the district are its large residential areas from different epochs, which were primarily built for the workers in industrial companies. The settlement of the Pintsch company in 1872 in the west of what will later be the district can be seen as the initial spark for the large-scale settlement .

location

The northern district is located north of the Mitte district and is separated from it by the Berlin - Frankfurt (Oder) railway line . Its settlement boundaries form the Fürstenwalder Stadtforst in the west, the vineyards in the north , as the beginning of the Lubusz plateau and in the east fields and the Beerenbusch forest area . To the north are Trebus and Molkenberg , which belong to the city of Fürstenwalde / Spree. To the northeast lies Neuendorf im Sande , which is part of the Steinhöfel community .

history

Before industrialization

The playground on the old Mühlenberg. The development on Nordstrasse can be seen in the background.

The area of ​​today's northern district has always belonged to the city of Fürstenwalde. Except for the Buschgarten settlement and a few farms , it was not populated. Rather, it was used for agriculture. At that time, the term Morgenland or the Orientals was common for the area. Some roads ran through the Orientals to places in the north (Trebus, Beerfelde , Müncheberg , Buchholz / Steinhöfel ). The first settlement of today's district was to take place on and between these. A few names still bear witness to its former use, such as vineyards for the southern slopes of the plateau of Lebus or the Mühlenberg , which is now a large playground. Some older street names also referred to it, for example Karl-Cheret-Straße was once called Ackerstraße and Ehrenfried-Jopp-Straße used to be the forest road . The Feldstrasse in Mitte used to lead to the fields.

In 1835 the execution (masking) was moved to the area. It was not until 1842, when Fürstenwalde got a rail connection, that the area became increasingly important. Since the train station was about 1 km from the city center, the area between the city and the railway line was initially settled.

Industrialization and growth

Fürstenwalde had become an industrial location early on. As early as 1837, an American-style mill was built on the Spree. But also trades traditionally based in Fürstenwalde, such as breweries, brickworks and pottery, grew into industrial companies. The settlement of the art pottery O. Titel north of the train station is relevant for today's northern district (1860). The pottery was located on today's Bonava site and developed into Germany's largest stove tile factory by the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

The great boom in the area began in 1872 with the settlement of Julius Pintsch's company to the west of Trebuser Strasse near the executioner's office. At this point in time, the north road can be accepted as the northern boundary of the settlement - this is also the reason why it owes its name.

First Pintsch houses on Strausberger Strasse.

The Pintsch company , which was based in Berlin, became a major employer. The branch developed particularly strongly from 1885 and subsequently outperformed the main Berlin factory. Housing had to be created for the workers. The company built apartments on Strausberger Straße in typical Berlin Wilhelminian style . Subsequent company apartments on Wriezener Straße , on the other hand, are much simpler. In the course of time, other companies settled here.

Further settlements emerged, often with a contemporary design. So that was Bentschner (today Verdistraße) with buildings in the style of the garden city movement built on. In the 1920s, the GEWOBA settlement was built between Steinhöfeler Chaussee (today Karl-Liebknecht-Straße), Damaschkestraße (today Julian-Marchlewski-Straße), Wriezener Straße and Lissaer Straße (today Richard-Strauss-Straße) . It was designed according to the principles of new building .

In addition to the large estates, areas with single-family houses, semi-detached houses and town villas also emerged, some as type buildings . The road network is still based on the former radial lines, which structure the area in a fan shape. All new streets were designed either as parallels or as cross streets to them. In the process, some connections that had become obsolete were also over-planned, so the historical connection road to Müncheberg only exists in parts ( Alte Neuendorfer Strasse in the middle, Wriezener Strasse and Kantstrasse in the north). For a long time the eastern settlement border was the route of the Oderbruch Railway . After the First World War, numerous streets were named after places in the areas ceded to Poland.

In 1915, a small military airfield was built north of what would later become Bromberger Strasse (today Vladimir-Komarow-Strasse) . According to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , this had to be canceled. In its place, a sports area, the allotment garden “New World”, but also industrial facilities such as the Wreschner Farbenwerke were built .

During the Second World War , production at Pintsch was switched to goods that were essential to the war effort. Many foreign workers and prisoners of war were used for this purpose. Large barracks were built for them. A forest cemetery for deceased camp inmates was built west of Hegelstrasse . After the war this was also used for the burial of refugees and returned prisoners of war.

GDR time

With the end of the Second World War, in which the district was only slightly affected, major dismantling work began in the industrial companies as part of the reparations payments . The owners were expropriated , the machines were brought to the Soviet Union as reparation . Many streets were given new names, especially those streets which were named after cities in Poland .

The industrial companies were realigned. The company Pintsch became the VEB Chemie- und Tankanlagenbau (Gaselan), the paint works became VEB Lithopone. Further companies were settled, e. B. VEB Statron as part of the RFT manufacturer association .

Martin-Luther-Platz is very centrally located in the district.

Gaselan became one of the largest companies in the GDR. In order to be able to meet the steadily increasing demand for apartments in Fürstenwalde, various new building areas were built. The first smaller settlements with two or three-storey buildings emerged between Dr.-Goltz -Strasse and Richard-Strauss-Strasse on a former barracks site and on Martin-Luther-Strasse . In the 1960s, the Jahnstrasse / Hölderlinstrasse area was built on with four storeys. Two additional buildings were last erected here in the early 1980s.

The five-storey buildings in the Richard-Soland-Ring / Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Ring area are a specialty with their butterfly roofs. The settlements on Dr.-Theodor-Neubauer- / Magnus-Poser-Straße and in the Kosmonautenviertel were built in typical panel construction . The cosmonaut district became the largest residential area in the city. It was built on the site of the old airfield. Accordingly, the allotment gardens located here had to be relocated. It was rebuilt on the other side of the Oderbruchbahn in the so-called expansion east . Here, as in other still uninhabited areas in the district, more single-family houses were built.

With the settlements, other facilities such as department stores and schools were built. During the GDR era, there were four schools in the north district. Of these, three were type school buildings , one used barracks from the former Pintsch camp. In 1971, the Spreeschwimmhalle was built on Juri-Gagarin-Strasse on the initiative of the head of VEB Lithopone .

Situation today

After the fall of the Wall , Gaselan was broken up. The individual parts of the company, like the other companies, were taken over by western companies. Some no longer exist today. Most recently, at the end of 2013, RMG Gaselan Regel + Messtechnik GmbH was closed. The production facility of Deutsche Amphibolin-Werke (formerly VEB Lithopone) will be relocated to other locations by 2016. The Fürstenwalde location is being converted into a logistics center.

Apart from gaps or replacement developments, there was no significant housing construction in the north district after the fall of the Wall. Some of the large housing estates, especially the Kosmonautviertel , are struggling with significant vacancies. Since 2008, some buildings have been demolished with funds from the “ Stadtumbau Ost ” program .

In 1991 the Catholic school center Bernhardinum was built on Trebuser Straße . The school center consists of a primary school, high school and grammar school. On the northern edge of the district, an upper school center was built in 1991 on the old Palmnicken estate . The area used by schools since 1951 has been redesigned and partially rebuilt. Between 2012 and 2014, the former Gaselan administration building on Trebuser Straße was dismantled from eight to five floors and converted into a youth hostel, primarily for students at the upper level center.

The Spreeschwimmhalle was transformed into a sports and fun pool in Schwapp with a sauna landscape and fitness center. Furthermore, other commercial (bowling center, tennis courts, mini golf course) and free (skate park, soccer field) leisure activities were created in the vicinity. The street connecting them was renamed Große Freizeit .

The construction group Bonava Germany (formerly NCC Germany) moved into a new administration building on the north side of the station in December 2011. This has been expanded since May 2016.

Educational institutions

In Fürstenwalde-Nord there are a total of three primary schools (Sigmund-Jähn primary school, Sonnengrundschule & Catholic primary school ), two secondary schools (Juri-Gagarin secondary school & Catholic secondary school), an upper level center ( Europaschule Oberstufenzentrum Palmnicken ), a grammar school (Catholic high school "Bernhardinum “) And a vocational high school (FAW gGmbH).

Various roads run through the Fürstenwalde-Nord district for local and regional development.

The street Hegelstrasse - Weinbergsgrund - Triftstrasse - Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse - Steinhöfeler Chaussee - Osttangente forms a bypass road that largely bypasses the district. With the exception of Hegelstraße, they are all part of the federal highway 168 from Eberswalde to Cottbus , which regionally connects the district with Müncheberg , Trebus , the Fürstenwalde Ost motorway junction on the A 12 and Beeskow . Roads to Molkenberg , Buchholz and Steinhöfel continue from this street .

Trebuser Strasse , the Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Strasse - Juri-Gagarin-Strasse as well as their connection, the Ehrenfried-Jopp-Strasse, play an important role in the inner development of the district . The only inner-city crossing of the railway line for motor vehicles is on Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Straße . Ehrenfried-Joppstrasse and Trebuser Strasse are the feeders to the P + R facilities at the station . Here there are two more crossings to the Mitte district: the tunnel for pedestrians and cyclists as well as the access system for the station with stairs and elevators. The regional trains of the RE 1 ( Magdeburg - Brandenburg an der Havel - Potsdam - Berlin - Fürstenwalde - Frankfurt (Oder) - Eisenhüttenstadt ) and RB 35 (Fürstenwalde - Bad Saarow ) run at the station.

The northern district is accessed by two city bus routes. Both lines lead from the train station (southern side) to the northern end of Juri-Gagarin-Straße . Line 1 ( VBB  411) takes a wide curve over the western part of the bypass road (Hegelstraße) then follows Trebuser Straße towards the city. About the Dr. Goltz road it is heading east, where over Julian-Marchlewski Street , Yuri Gagarin Street and Karl-Liebknecht-Straße a large loop is run. The line connects u. a. the schools on Trebuser Straße, the Harbigstadion, the Schwapp and the North Medical Center. The Line 4 (VBB 414) uses the short connection on Johann Sebastian Bach Street . The regional bus routes 432 to Müncheberg and 433 to Arensdorf also run through the district. They start or end at the northern station forecourt.

At the north-eastern end was the (new) Fürstenwalde airfield , which opened in 1937 and was built over with a solar park after it was closed in 2011.
