With the construction of the Poststrasse between Berlin and Hamburg, one of the three arms of the Havel was filled in and a bridge was built over the Havel, from which a district is named Neubrück. As a result, Nieder Neuendorf slowly lost its importance. At the end of the 19th century a sawmill and a piano factory were built in Neubrück. For entry into the aircraft beginning sought the 20th century, AEG ( General Electric Company ) favorable building land in the surrounding area of Berlin and opened in 1910 in Hennigsdorf "AEG, department of aircraft". In 1912 they built their first aircraft, a purely wooden structure based on the model of the Wright brothers' biplane ( Wright Model A ).

During the Second World War , forced laborers had to work in armaments production at the Central German Steel and Rolling Mills belonging to Friedrich Flick KG and in the AEG factories. From 1941 (according to other information in 1942), a satellite camp of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp for 50 (according to other information 150) prisoners was installed and a satellite camp of the Ravensbrück concentration camp for 850 female prisoners. A memorial to the victims of fascism on the Postplatz has been commemorating the dead in these camps since 1948 .
