Finkenkrug is a district of the city of Falkensee west of Berlin . The district takes its name from the Alten Finkenkrug, a tar stove in the Bredower Forest . The place arose from 1850 around the new Finkenkrug station. Especially in the area around the Lindenweiher there is a cityscape of old villas and green-lined streets. At the turn of the century, Finkenkrug was a popular destination for Berliners.
history
The area of today's Finkenkrug district was largely uninhabited until the middle of the 19th century. It consisted of forest areas, quarries and agricultural fields. These were owned by the Seegefeld manor . A hunter's house and a sheep farm belonged to the Vorwerk . Near the 1710 first mentioned was Teerofen settlement "Alter Finkenkrug".
On December 12, 1846, the Berlin – Hamburg line was opened, which runs through the area. In 1850, after the introduction of suburban traffic in Berlin, the Finkenkrug Sunday supply stop was set up. In 1852 a train station was built. In the Wilhelminian era, up to 25,000 Berlin day trippers came from 1870 onwards. Excursion bars and restaurants were created. From 1891 passenger trains regularly stopped in Finkenkrug.
The merchant Bernhard Ehlers (1848-1919), the founder of Finkenkrug, acquired the Seegefeld manor in 1888 with the 657 hectares of land around the Seegefeld and Finkenkrug stations. In 1892 Ehler's development plan for an area of 90 hectares south of the railway line in Neu-Finkenkrug was approved by the authorities. In 1893 the first permit was given to create a colony with 30 villas near the train station. The first houses were built in 1895.
The settlement concept stagnated from 1895 to 1898. Because Ehlers feared problems with the groundwater, on May 5, 1898, he sold the Seegefeld manor and the property (657.42 hectares, including 400 hectares of deciduous forest) to the German settlement bank in Halensee for around one million marks. In 1899 two thirds of the settlement area had already been sold. In 1900 the settlement bank worked out a settlement plan for Neufinkenkrug expanded to 258 hectares, which was approved on September 5, 1903, and also provided space for a cemetery, school, church and, in the event of an independent local administration, space for a town hall and a prison , and a fire station provided. An association to promote Neufinkenkrug was founded in 1903. In the same year construction began on the school and the paving of Rohrbecker Weg was approved. In 1905 Neufinkenkrug had 163 inhabitants. In 1913 the place had 650 inhabitants.
Anna von Gierke and Martha Abicht founded the GmbH Landjugendheim Finkenkrug on Havelländer Weg in 1921 . Just one year later the first barracks were erected, which initially offered children and students of the youth home association relaxation. The rural youth home, which quickly developed into a large, all-encompassing social-educational institution, was headed first by Alice Bendix and later by Isa Gruner . The Finkenkruger Church was completed in 1926.
In September 2000 the Bürgerervein Finkenkrug was founded. The aim of the association is to maintain, maintain and expand the district of Finkenkrug, paying particular attention to the historical, cultural and monumental treatment of the old Finkenkrug colony from 1899. In 2009 the station was renewed.
