history

The Hobrechtsfelde estate, named on August 3, 1908 after James Hobrecht , was originally built at the beginning of the 20th century to cultivate the Berlin Rieselfelder . The building permit was granted on September 26, 1906. As early as 1911 Hobrechtsfelde received its own single-class school, which was assigned a teacher's apartment. Since the 1920s, well over 300 people have been employed in the manor facilities at peak times of the season.

In the years 1954/55 and 1958/60 several residential buildings were built, which closed the gap between the village center at the pond and festival meadow and the old estate.

1985 the sewage fields were decommissioned and with it the end of the sewage disposal around Hobrechtsfelde, remnants of the systems can be found mainly south and northeast of the place in the area.

Since January 1, 2010, the residential buildings in Hobrechtsfeld belong to the housing cooperative Bremer Höhe , based in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg, which bought the entire village for 900,000 euros.

Since 1875 , Berlin wastewater has also been trickled into the north of Berlin, between Berlin-Buch and Schönwalde . This type of fertilization was mainly used for growing vegetables and the north of Berlin, especially the Buch hospitals, was supplied with agricultural products.

The sewage fields around Hobrechtsfelde have been unused since 1985. Now, in the area where Berlin's sewage was trickled out for around 100 years, a recreational area for people and a retreat for animals and plants is gradually being created.

Hardly paved roads and a lack of means of transport led to the expansion of a field railway network for the transport of agricultural products. From 1906, a horse-powered network of up to 60 km with a gauge of 600 mm was created. Smaller sections could be quickly relocated and dismantled as required, such as during harvest time. The Feldbahn had a connection to the Berlin-Stettiner Eisenbahn in Rüdnitz and Berlin-Buch and to the Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn in Berlin-Blankenfelde .

In Hobrechtsfelde you can still find some remains of this economic railway, especially on Hobrechtsfelder Dorfstraße. The bike and skater path runs parallel to the road on the former railway line.

Visitor center Gut Hobrechtsfelde

On April 14, 2013, the Gut Hobrechtsfelde visitor center was opened on the site of the old manor . The core of the center is an exhibition on the first floor of the granary , which has thus been made accessible to the public. The exhibition presents the landscape of the Barnim Nature Park , the history of Hobrechtsfelde as well as the Berlin wastewater treatment and the radial system built for this from 1869 . The granary is accessible up to the roof, from where the surrounding landscape can be observed. There is also a display enclosure and a themed playground as well as a snack on the site.

Forest pasture

The largest German forest pasture project with 850 hectares of forest area started in 2011. Around 120 cattle and 80 Konik horses from Agrar GmbH Gut Hobrechtsfelde graze in the semi-open forest landscape on the fenced-in areas of the former sewage fields .

Stones without borders

In and around Hobrechtsfelde there has been one of the sculpture lines of the Stones Without Borders project , which in turn is part of the street of peace dreamed up by the Jewish sculptor Otto Freundlich . There are 114 sculptures on around 15 kilometers of forest and field paths, which were created in five symposia in the Buch forest between 2001 and 2012. The initiators are the sculptor Silvia Fohrer and the sculptor Rudolf J. Kaltenbach .

High rope climbing garden

Since July 2006, Hobrechtsfelde has had a high ropes course with 23 exercise elements of various degrees of difficulty, a log house and ancillary areas for sports and games on almost 17,000 m² . Reopened in May 2009 by a new operator with a family celebration, the facility was expanded to include a few elements. The climbing garden has been closed since spring 2014.

Summer night cinema

For several years there was a regular summer night cinema in Hobrechtsfelde, which had established itself with around 1000 visitors (as of 2009). In 2015, the event had to be discontinued because the costs for the conversion to the now predominantly digital film distribution could not be raised.
