history
Finow was created in 1928 by merging the village of Heegermühle, first mentioned in 1294, with the previously independent communities Eisenspalterei-Wolfswinkel and Messingwerk and was declared a town in 1935. In 1970 the cities of Eberswalde and Finow merged under the name Eberswalde-Finow.
In 1907, the Eberswalde-Finowfurt railway, which was closed in 1996, and the Eberswalde Finow airfield in the 1930s gave the place additional transport connections. At the beginning of the 20th century, the brass works settlement with remarkable, uniform ensembles of residential buildings was built in Finow according to plans by the architect Paul Mebes .
During the Second World War , female prisoners of the Ravensbrück concentration camp were exploited in the production of rifle ammunition in the secret factory of Finower Industrie GmbH , the ammunition factory "Waldeslust" on Angermünder Straße. They lived in inhuman conditions in the concentration camp Finow the Ravensbruck concentration camp.
The monumental water tower, which was also built by Paul Mebes in 1916/1917 and which was redesigned as a war memorial after it was no longer in use, protrudes from the flat landscape on the northern outskirts.
