Gartenfeld (Berlin)
Garden box is a local situation in the Berlin district of Siemens city of Spandau . Gartenfeld is located in the extreme northwestern area of Siemensstadt on the border with Tegel and is sometimes referred to as an island, as the area is completely surrounded by the Berlin-Spandau shipping canal (formerly: Hohenzollern Canal ) and its junction, the Old Berlin-Spandau Shipping Canal . The Berlin Senate has made the area in 2018 as one of the most important new areas of the city, after the closure of the airport Tegel will house around 8,000 people.
Island location
The island location was created between 1906 and 1914 when the Großschiffahrtweg Berlin – Stettin was built for larger ship dimensions, where the canal was expanded and pulled northeast of Gartenfeld directly to the Havel . The old part of the canal (since the 1990s: Alter Berlin-Spandauer Schifffahrtskanal ) from 1848/1859 remained and encloses Gartenfeld in the south and west. The old canal originally flowed into Lake Tegel at the Kleine Malche . The mouthpiece between the Havel section of the new or expanded section of the canal and the Kleine Malche was drained later.
Gartenfelder Strasse leads across the island, which merges into Bernauer Strasse in the north after the Tegeler Brücke. In the south, the Gartenfelder Brücke connects with the Haselhorst district .
history
The Gartenfeld estate was originally part of the Haselhorst estate . The property belonged to the royal office of Spandau. In 1812, the office sold the area to Oberamtmann Grützmacher, who had the manor house built on what would later become Gartenfelder Strasse in 1815 , which was demolished in 1965. Parts of the property were given up for the construction of the Berlin-Spandau shipping canal (between 1848 and 1859). The Gartenfeld estate was separated from it in 1860, according to another source in 1865.
In December 1910, the Siemens company acquired the Gartenfeld estate and, from 1911, had the Gartenfeld cable factory built, which went into operation in early 1912. On January 8, 1912, Gartenfeld was connected to the Berlin tram network via a branch line ending in front of the cable works . The last trams ran here in 1960. With the expansion of the canal, the industrial area of Siemenswerke became the Gartenfelder Insel in 1914. In 1923 Siemens also bought the eastern part of this area to expand the production facilities.
In 1998, the Gartenfeld cable factory went to the Milan-based company Pirelli , which shut it down in 2002. Since then, large parts of the former Siemens production facilities have been converted into the Gartenfeld business park and transferred to third-party users for rent, lease or purchase.
According to a general plan of the city of Berlin in the late 2010s, however, the area is to be converted into a new residential area with a primary school and several daycare centers , in which business is again possible. The disused Siemensbahn is to be reactivated. The bank area is to become a public green corridor. For this purpose, the recreational gardens on an area on Saatwinkler Damm will be demolished in the long term. Environmentalists warn against the implementation of the plans because beavers and otters have settled here by the water .
Former Gartenfeld train station
The Garden Field Station was opened on endpoint of December 18, 1929 Siemens train . It was given a provisional central platform on the ground floor, since a planned extension of the S-Bahn in the direction of Hakenfelde was expected to be elevated, as well as a representative reception building connected to a residential building.
At the end of the morning rush hour, the trains found their place in the parking facility in Gartenfeld , so that the return journey could be resumed in short order in the afternoon. The originally six-track storage facility could accommodate twelve full trains. The signal box was designed for a train interval of 150 seconds, normally the train interval in rush hour traffic was five minutes.
With the Reichsbahnerstruck of September 1980 , the S-Bahn traffic was stopped and not resumed after its end. The former station building and the platform were used by a garden center in 1984 - fitting the name. The garden center was terminated in 2012. Since then, the entire station has been empty.
