history

education

On May 13, 1841, the 7th Provincial Parliament of the Mark Brandenburg asked the king to set up a chamber of commerce based on the model of the chambers in the Rhine Province . The initiative was unsuccessful. Only at the end of the 1880s did plans for the establishment of a chamber of commerce become more concrete. In 1889 the regional council rejected an institution. On December 16, 1890, the Brandenburg wholesale merchant Karl Blell formulated a public memorandum for the establishment of a chamber. However, the regional council refused in 1891 and favored a chamber of commerce in Berlin for the entire administrative region. In 1897 the chambers of commerce law was changed. Now the discussion about the establishment of the Chamber began again. The main point of conflict was the question of whether a common chamber in Potsdam or two chambers in Potsdam and Brandenburg would be useful. On April 23, 1898, the ministry approved the formation of a Brandenburg Chamber of Commerce and a Potsdam Chamber of Commerce .

job

The chamber's district included the city of Brandenburg and the districts of Westhavelland, Ostprignitz, Westprignitz, Zauch-Belzig and Ruppin. The journey from the chamber district to Brandenburg was difficult. Therefore the meetings of the chamber took place in Berlin. From 1902 onwards there was only the first meeting of the year in Brandenburg and the next one in Berlin.

Due to the small size of the chamber district, the financial resources of the chamber were poor. In 1900 attempts were therefore made to reach the city of Genthin and the district of Jerichow II from the district of the Halberstadt Chamber of Commerce to the Brandenburg Chamber. The merchants of the circles concerned support this, but the project found no support in the merchants of the other circles in the district of the Halberstadt Chamber of Commerce and was therefore rejected by the ministry. The attempt to preserve parts of the district of the Potsdam Chamber had the same result.

The law on the chambers of industry and commerce passed on April 1, 1924 led to the name of the chamber being changed to the Brandenburg an der Havel Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

resolution

The global economic crisis sparked new discussions in 1929 as to whether the structure of the IHKs in the greater Berlin area should be redrafted. Both the separation of the rural Berlin outskirts from the IHK Berlin and affiliation with the Brandenburg Chamber and the merger of both chambers were discussed models.

After the seizure of power by the National Socialists, the discussion was decided from above. On May 16, 1933, the new Prussian Minister of Economics and Labor ordered the merger of the two chambers. The previous chamber in Brandenburg became the branch office of the Berlin Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The chamber building

In 1899, rooms in Grabenstrasse in Brandenburg were rented. The chamber later moved to Hauptstrasse. In 1915 the company moved into the Frey-Has at Ritterstrasse 19.

In 1919/1920 the chamber acquired its own house at Jacobstrasse 7. The building is now a branch of the IHK Potsdam .

Publications

Since 1925 the chamber published the newspaper "Wirtschaftliches Nachrichtenblatt - Mitteilungen der Industrie- und Handelskammer Brandenburg (Havel)". It replaced the "notifications" of the Chamber of Commerce.
