Friedrichsberg (Berlin)
Friedrichsberg is the name of a historic district on the present-day border between Friedrichshain and Lichtenberg in Berlin .
location
Friedrichsberg bordered the Boxhagen colony in the south, later part of the Boxhagen-Rummelsburg community . The border ran along Boxhagener Strasse and Weserstrasse around 1900 . Frankfurter Allee formed the border in the north . In the west Friedrichsberg ended at Niederbarnimstrasse and in the east around today's Schulze-Boysen-Strasse .
history
Friedrichsberg was founded around 1770 as a colony on the Lichtenberger Feldmark with royal support. At first, Bohemian and Huguenot colonists were settled here. For more than 100 years, the image of Friedrichsberg was mainly shaped by market gardens.
In 1867, the cemetery of the Berlin Georgen Parochial community was laid out in Friedrichsberg . Twelve years later the chapel that still stands there was built.
On November 12, 1877, the first German telegraph office with telephone operation began operations in Friedrichsberg.
According to the specifications of the development plan by James Hobrecht , typical Berlin tenements in the neo-renaissance style were built in Friedrichsberg at the turn of the 20th century . At the beginning of the development only around 3,000 people lived in Friedrichsberg. Within a few years the population grew to around 20,000. Friedrichsberg station was opened on May 1, 1872, and was rebuilt a little further north from 1889–1891 and later renamed Frankfurter Allee station . In 1891/1892 the Catholic Lichtenberg parish church of St. Mauritius was built in Friedrichsberg .
Lichtenberg, to which Friedrichsberg belonged, received city rights in 1907. At that time there were over 50,000 people in Friedrichsberg and around 18,000 in the other parts of Lichtenberg. The name Friedrichsberg disappeared from the official documents.
Lichtenberg - and thus also Friedrichsberg at that time - became part of Greater Berlin in 1920 , Friedrichsberg initially belonged to the Lichtenberg district. With the reorganization of the Berlin administrative districts on April 1, 1938, the former Friedrichsberg was divided along the route of the Ringbahn between Friedrichshain (then: Horst-Wessel-Stadt) and Lichtenberg and thus finally disappeared from the consciousness of Berliners.
In 2001 the districts of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg were merged. Friedrichsberg was a candidate for the name of this new district.
traces
The small Friedrichsberger Strasse near Strausberger Platz is still a reminder of this settlement. The Friedrichsberger Bank built a representative office building in 1905 and had its headquarters there until 1943. This building at Finowstraße 1 is now a listed building .
In 2010, the school building erected in Friedrichsberg in 1907 on Scharnweberstrasse will be reopened as an open all-day school . Until it was closed in 1999, the school was called Friedrichsberger Grundschule . The building has largely been preserved in its original state. The school has been called Jane Goodall Elementary School since the beginning of 2017.
