Friedrichsthal is a district of the city of Oranienburg in the Brandenburg district of Oberhavel .
location
Friedrichsthal is located north of the center of Oranienburg in a wooded area on the Havel (see also Zehdenick-Spandauer Havelniederung ). The extensive Oranienburg district includes the settlements of Fichtengrund, Neu-Friedrichstal and Dameswalde.
history
The first written mention of the place as "Grabstorff" (later Grabsdorf) is dated from the year 1350. The name Friedrichsthal comes from Friedrich I , who had the Friedrichsthal hunting lodge built on the banks of the Havel and renamed the place after himself. The castle was demolished in 1873. Friedrichsthal was a colonist village, and increasingly also a fishing village. As early as 1782, 15 watchmakers from French-speaking Switzerland , members of the Reformed Church , settled in Friedrichsthal. They moved into houses built especially for them and set up a factory. In the middle of the 19th century, the no longer profitable watchmaking trade in the place was stopped. When the Malzer Canal was extended to the drawbridge in Friedrichsthal in 1836, many boatmen families moved here who earned their living by operating barges.
From 1895 to 1897, the village church was built according to designs by Ludwig von Tiedemann . The electoral stone coat of arms from the former Friedrichsthaler Schloss was inserted in the north wall of the church. Kurt Scharf , who later became Protestant bishop and EKD council chairman, was pastor here from 1933 to 1945. The village was expanded at the beginning of the 20th century - as is so often the case in the area around Berlin - in order to offer “city refugees” better conditions than in the big city. Since October 26, 2003, Friedrichsthal has been part of Oranienburg following a municipal reform .
The Łódź born "strong man" and artist Siegmund Breitbart achieved some fame . In the course of 1924, the "Iron King's" villa was completed. The Breitbart family were very popular and respected in Friedrichsthal. Breitbart supported poor residents with food.
In honor of Breitbart, a street near Villa Breitbart was renamed Siegmund-Breitbart Straße on February 22, 2013.
Transport links
The district is on the Berlin – Neustrelitz railway line , but has no connection to the trains on this line, as the station (" Fichtengrund ") has been closed. The nearest train stations that are in operation are the train stations Oranienburg ( regional express , regional train and S-Bahn ) and Sachsenhausen (regional train). The former railway line Wensickendorf - Schmachtenhagen - Oranienburg runs south of Friedrichsthal and is only in operation on the eastern section of Wensickendorf - Schmachtenhagen. The federal highway 96 runs west of Friedrichsthal. The town is traversed by the Havel in the west and by the Oder-Havel Canal in the east . Instead of a passenger ferry that has been shut down since mid-2009, the canal near Friedrichsthal has been crossed by a pedestrian and cyclist bridge since October 2010, which is also approved for rescue vehicles.
