Hennickendorf is a district of the municipality Rüdersdorf near Berlin in the district of Märkisch-Oderland ( Brandenburg ), has about 3300 inhabitants and is located about 16 kilometers east of the city limits of Berlin .

General and historical

The place was first mentioned in 1375 in the Landbuch of the Mark Brandenburg as "Henckendorpp". At that time 34 hooves belonged to the village, of which the pastor owned 4. In addition, 7 kossaten, a jug (a tavern) and a fishery are mentioned. The taxes consisted of rye, barley, oats, money and chickens. Before Hennickendorf came into the hands of the Brandenburg Elector Joachim II as a result of the Reformation ( church reform in 1574), the place belonged to the Zinna Monastery. The Bullenwinkel, a nearby forest and meadow area, was a protected refuge for Hennickendorf's residents during the Thirty Years' War . At the beginning of the 20th century, life was mainly shaped by the flourishing brick industry in Hennickendorf and by the limestone open-cast mining in Rüdersdorf. The Strausberg-Hennickendorf- Herzfelde railway connection was opened in 1896 to transport the building materials and people . However, since many workers decided to move their residence to the banks of the two Stienitz lakes due to the time-consuming journey, this railway line was closed for the last time in 1962. The Gartenstadt, Rehfelder Weg, Herzfelder Straße and Lindenweg housing estates were built within a short period of time, as well as today's Albrecht Thaer residential area in the 1960s to 1980s . After 1990, the new Herzfelder Weg residential area was developed on the site of the former poplar grove, and the 13 hectare “Pappelhain” industrial area, conveniently located on the Bundesstraße 1 (2 km) and the A 10 ( Berlin-Hellersdorf , 5.8 km) . Hennickendorf has been part of the Rüdersdorf municipality near Berlin since October 26, 2003.

Sights and culture

Village church
  • The village church , a late medieval stone building with a slightly retracted rectangular choir, originates in its oldest components from the fortified church built around 1250. The narrow, high windows are set like loopholes in the thick walls made of hewn granite stones, the foundation walls are made of limestone. From around 1540 to 1578 it was a Catholic church. In the 21st century only a small part can still be recognized as the original Cistercian church. It was completely renewed in 1863 and received a square tower in neo-Gothic style made of brick on the western gable wall. The sacristy was built in 1911. During the Second World War the bells had to be delivered, after the war 3 new bells were cast by the Voss bell foundry. The pulpit altar was demolished in 1962 due to worm infestation. After its restoration, a baroque Hattenkerell carved altar from 1720 from Küstrinchen was consecrated on December 15, 1996. The organ with eight registers was built in 1876/1877 by Albert Lang from Berlin. The pewter prospect pipes, which had to be given in 1917 because of the war, were replaced by zinc pipes. In 1999 the roof structure was renewed, in 2001 a community room was added and in 2008 the entrance door and the windows were restored.
  • The Kreuzattaschen basin of Hennickendorf comes from a Bronze Age settlement on the northeastern bank of the small Stienitzsee .
  • Memorial for the victims of war and violence on Ernst-Thälmann-Strasse . (The memorial for the victims of fascism was formerly on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz.)
Quail tower
  • The landmark of Hennickendorf and one of the six registered monuments of the place is the 22.3 meter high quail tower on the Wachtelberg, built between 1938 and 1940 , which can also be seen on Hennickendorf's coat of arms and has been part of the 66-lake hiking trail since 2012. Originally it was planned as a fire brigade training and hose drying tower ; the foundation stone was laid on July 24, 1938 on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Hennickendorf volunteer fire brigade. After its renovation on June 25, 1994, on the occasion of the 3rd Wachtelberg Festival, the then Mayor Wolfgang Paschke made the quail tower accessible to the public as a lookout tower. From the viewing platform, which can be reached via 96 steps, there is a clear view as far as the Berlin television tower .
  • The Hennickendorfer Mühle was built in 1798 as a fulling mill. The building burned down in 1848 and was rebuilt 10 years later.
