The history of the metalworker's guild in today's capital began in 1237 with the emergence of the cities of Berlin and Kölln . The great city fires in the 14th and 15th centuries destroyed documents and certificates in order to meet the obligation to provide evidence. But in 1280 there were the Viergewerke in Berlin, the bakers, butchers, shoemakers and drapers. They were granted a modest stake in the city regiment. The third estate were the citizens and craftsmen , including locksmiths . The locksmith's guild was officially named in 1578, together with the sporer, rifle, watch and winch makers. The councils of Berlin and Kölln have the masters of the above-mentioned trades, who are united in a laudable order, guild and brotherhood. The articles submitted by them have been checked, carefully considered and improved, and these articles, as they are in accordance with honesty and good police, confirmed and confirmed. The guilds of that time had the aim and purpose of restricting and regulating competition, privileging their own trade, the exercise of which was reserved for the guild members. In 1632 the tax code determined what the Berlin-Kölln master locksmith may charge his customers. All trades organized in a guild were treated here. Berlin, as the residence of the soldier king, had become a beautiful city in the opinion of travelers. The guild constitution was fundamentally changed, in 1731 at the endeavor of Friedrich Wilhelm I, the uniform imperial trade law was introduced. On August 6, 1732, this regulation came into force in the Prussian states and the time of independent powers was over. Here the guilds were incorporated into the new state trade law. Until 1735, a state commission for all guild trades had drawn up "general privileges" according to the new principles and uniform scheme; they were valid for the entire Kurmark. In 1734 the Berlin locksmith guild received general privilege.
The trade regulations with general trade tax , introduced in 1810 , put down the guild barriers and introduced freedom of trade. This was to lay the foundations for the reconstruction of the Prussian state . The guilds were retained, only the establishment of the trade tax was made dependent on exercising a fabric.
With the formation of Greater Berlin in 1925, the Berlin, Charlottenburg, Spandauer and Cöpenicker locksmith guilds were converted into a compulsory guild. After surviving the global economic crisis , the municipal library director formulated the pious wish in the festschrift of the German locksmith's trade in 1932: nevertheless, despite all resistance, we want to strive to preserve our locksmith's trade and to lead times towards which we again justified to say that the craft was golden has ... 1933 was the dissolution of all existing guilds and merging into a compulsory guild Greater Berlin with a total of 4,500 members despite the division of the total Berlin magistrate in 1948 and the introduction of a separate currency in the western sector, were against all odds until the mid-fifties Common ground cultivated. The possibility of a joint training existed until 1961. The last meeting of guild officials of both parts of the city took place in October 1960 and the 63rd general meeting of the metalworking and mechanical engineering trade throughout Germany took place in June 1961 in Berlin.

East Berlin
The work of the guild took place in the purchasing and delivery cooperatives (ELG) from the 1960s onwards. Due to numerous external restrictions, the cohesion was unusually strong. Despite considerable pressure from the state, there was hardly any establishment of production cooperatives for the handicrafts (PGH) among locksmiths in East Berlin .
West Berlin
In October 1971 the guild became the guild for metal and plastics technology in Berlin. At the end of the eighties, the previously independent blacksmiths' guild in West Berlin joined the metal guild.
1991
With the enactment of the "Ordinance on the Organization of the Crafts in the GDR " in February, it is again possible to form guilds and to join together to form district and GDR associations, whereupon the Guild of Metal Crafts was founded in East Berlin in 1990 . As early as 1990 it became clear that all that was needed in Berlin was a united metal guild and since 1991 there has been a metal guild.
The guild motto applies today as it did then, cat's head? Piece of it!
