history

The Maubach tomb on the Ev. Dorfkirchhof Kladow, signature and date, portrait of a woman on the left

The burial of the merchant Emil Maubach took place on August 3, 1912, as the first occupation and first burial at the Maubach grave. At 35 m², the grave site was one of the more imposing structures in the manageable Kladow cemetery. In addition to the central location on / in the cemetery wall, the design of the rear wall and the two upstream pedestals was particularly striking. For this, the ceramic painter Oswald Bachmann created a three-part tile mural. Bachmann's signature and the year 1913 can be found at the foot of the two portraits of women. Emil Maubach's son, Friedrich Maubach, who died on November 17, 1942, was also buried here. In 1967 the right to use the grave ended when the 25-year rest period expired. In 1968 urn sites were laid on the area in front of the tomb. On the other side of the cemetery wall, around the height of the Maubach tomb, there has been a semi-anonymous urn field since 2013.

The Maubach tomb in the Berlin cemetery landscape

The design of the Maubach tomb with the three-part tile mural by Oswald Bachmann is unique in the rich Berlin cemetery landscape. So far, no other tomb from the late 19th and early 20th centuries is known that was designed with ceramic painting. It is unclear whether Bachmann created other tombs.

Regarding the historical significance of the Maubach tomb, the Berlin State Monuments Office writes : “The decorative style of the tile mural and the clear assignment to the work of the ceramic painter Oswald Bachmann reveals an important historical connection to the Cadin majolica workshops founded by Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1904 . [...] ".

Published by the Hohenzollern Kunstgewerbehaus, Berlin W, Leipziger Strasse 13. Oswald Bachmann worked as a ceramic painter in Cadinen (today: Kadyny, Poland) from 1905 to 1909. In 1909 he founded his own company "Ostdeutsche Kunstkeramische Werke Oswald Bachmann" in nearby Elbing (today: Elblag, Poland).

And on the artistic substance it says: “Due to the outstanding quality of the artistic execution, the Maubach tomb is of particular importance. [...] ".

Friedrich Maubach in Kladow

September 2013, after 100 years, the weather damage cannot be overlooked on Bachmann's quality ceramics.

The first evidence of a connection between Friedrich Maubach and Kladow is the acquisition of the grave site in the Kladow cemetery and the burial of his father Emil in 1912. From 1913 Friedrich Maubach's Kladow telephone number is recorded in the Berlin address book. In the October 1915 edition of the directory of subscribers to the telephone networks in Berlin and the surrounding area , Friedrich Maubach's entry mentions a “Villa Cladow (Havel)” for the first time. In 1922, Maubach's address in Kladow appeared in the Berlin address book for the first time: "Havelufer / Cladow" (today: Imchenallee).

Land ownership and parceling agreement
Around the square of today's streets Sakrower Kirchweg, Wertheimweg, Imchenallee and Gößweinsteiner Gang, Maubach owned an extensive piece of land. In 1930 he negotiated with the Spandau district to subdivide this area. The sketch enclosed with the contract shows 24 parcels, five of them on the banks of the Havel. Nine sales in the years 1931–1935 have been recorded so far. This parceling can still be seen today in the north-western area of ​​the Quastenhornweg.

Maubachstrasse
The aforementioned area intended for parceling was and is divided by a street, called street A in the sketch mentioned. From 1935 to 1940 this street was referred to in the Berlin address books as Maubachstraße, later as Straße 109 and officially named Quastenhornweg on October 22, 1956. As recently as 1950, several participants were entered in the official telephone directory for Berlin with the address “Kladow, Maubachstrasse”, both privately and commercially. The Austrian actor and playwright Arnolt Bronnen is a prominent local resident .
