geography

Herzfelde is east of Berlin. It has an area of ​​approx. 13.50 km² and is populated by approx. 1750 inhabitants.

history

The first mentions of Herzfelde can be traced back to the year 1279. The first documentary entry of the place in the "Landbuch der Mark Brandenburg" is to be dated to the year 1375. The community is one of the former National Highway 1 Resulting Angersdorf . It is assumed that the place is a clearing settlement . The oldest building in town, the Protestant church, was built in the 13th century (around 1250). The building is an early Gothic granite block construction.

Due to its location on Reichsstrasse, the medieval wars brought devastation and reprisals for the population. A testimony and image of this is the local atonement cross on the church, which the residents had to erect as a punishment for killing a high-ranking French officer during the occupation during the Seven Years' War .

After the place belonged to the monastery Zinna for centuries , the village passed into the possession of the Brandenburg elector Joachim II after the Reformation .

In 1860, after the discovery of some clay deposits at the Stienitzsee , economic growth began and thus the transformation into an industrial community. Several large brickworks were built in which the majority of the population was employed. At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, the Oppenheim brickworks with clay pit should be mentioned. The constantly increasing production of the local industry also attracted many seasonal workers to the place, which increased the population considerably. The bricks were transported by the newly built Strausberg-Herzfelder Kleinbahn and also transported to Berlin by water .

In the course of the 20th century, more and more industrial companies settled in Herzfelde, which, like the traditional brickworks, were closed after the fall of the Wall . Two large industrial areas were created in which new branches of industry settled.

Through a municipal area reform , Herzfelde, Hennickendorf and Lichtenow became districts of the municipality of Rüdersdorf near Berlin on October 26, 2003 .
