geography

nature

(Selected examples)

The Herzberge Landscape Park is a landscape protection area in the Lichtenberg district. The park is used for agriculture by grazing the areas with rough-wooly Pomeranian sheep .

The Lichtenberg City Park , designed by General Möllendorff in the 18th century with rare and exotic plants, has belonged to the Lichtenberg community since 1908. For its visitors there is a toboggan slope, sports fields, a paddling pool and sunbathing lawns.

The Fennpfuhlpark , about 12.5  hectares in size, was planned and laid out in the early 1970s together with the construction of the surrounding large housing estate. The two puddles , around 20,000 years old, are relics from the last ice age and were connected by a canal during renovation work between 1978 and 1981.

The most important and largest natural area in the district is the Berlin Zoo , which was opened in 1955. It emerged from the former Friedrichsfeld Palace Park .

Waters

Lake Orange

The Rummelsburger See is a Spree bay with a length of 1.6 kilometers. Historically, numerous industrial companies were located on the shore, which means that the lake is still heavily contaminated (as of the 2010s) and is not used for swimming.

On the border between the Berlin districts of Weißensee and Alt-Hohenschönhausen there are Fauler See , Orankesee and Obersee with their surrounding parks. In 1933 the Faule See was secured as a nature reserve . Through the formation of a large sludge layer silted the lazy lake gradually. It is a breeding and resting place for rare water bird species and here you can find reed beds and typical alder and willow stocks.

Kieze (LOR)

The small-scale structure for Berlin is the lifeworld-oriented rooms (LOR) with delimitation according to professional criteria. These are used for socio-spatial planning purposes and have replaced the spatial reference system of the “statistical areas / traffic cells”. Data on the population structures in these planning areas are available online in the Kiezatlas der Sozialraumdaten. The key numbers of the LOR each consist of the two digits of the district (Lichtenberg = 11), the forecast area, the district region (roughly aligned with the districts) and the actual planning areas.

history

Earliest settlement

The earliest archaeological finds in the area of ​​today's district date from the Middle Stone Age , but finds from the Bronze Age , Iron Age and the early Middle Ages also bear witness to a recurring settlement before the medieval German conquest.

The administrative district of Lichtenberg was created by amalgamating several historically independent villages and districts. The actual village of Lichtenberg, also known as Alt-Lichtenberg since the 21st century , is just one of these settlements. Other former villages in the Lichtenberg district include Friedrichsfelde, Hohenschönhausen, Falkenberg and Malchow. Many districts of the administrative district Lichtenberg bear the names of these villages.

Districts

Falkenberg

Falkenberg is mentioned for the first time in a document from Margrave Otto V in the spelling Valkenberg 1370 . Marie-Elisabeth von Humboldt , mother of Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt , received the Falkenberg manor in 1791. After her death she was buried in the Falkenberg church.

Friedrichsfelde

The first historical evidence for the village of Rosenfelde (renamed Friedrichsfelde in 1699 ) comes from the year 1265.

Hohenschoenhausen

The naming of Henricus bilrebeke (Heinrich Billerbeck) as pastor of the church of Hohenschönhausen in 1352 was the first direct evidence of this later district.

Karlshorst

During the German Empire , the villa colony of the same name was built on the Carlshorst Vorwerk (since 1901: Karlshorst ). The unconditional surrender of the Wehrmacht was signed in the officers' mess of Pioneer School I on the night of May 8th to 9th, 1945 . The German-Russian Museum is located there in memory of this event .

Manor house of the Malchow estate, built in 1704

Lichtenberg

The village of Lichtenberg emerged in the course of the German colonization of Barnim around 1230. However, it was only mentioned in a document on May 24, 1288 in a border treaty.

Malchow

In 1344, Malchow was first mentioned in a deed of donation from Ludwig the Elder ( Margrave of Brandenburg). In 1684, the landowner Paul von Fuchs had a two-story manor house, Malchow Castle , a brewery and other buildings built in Malchow .

Wartenberg

The village of Wartenberg was first mentioned in a Brandenburg document in 1270 . In 1783 the later Prussian Minister of State Otto von Voss acquired the village and estate Wartenberg. He built a mansion with farm buildings that have been under monument protection since the 1980s .

Lichtenberg as Berlin district 1920–2000

When Greater Berlin was founded in 1920, the city ​​of Lichtenberg, together with the rural community and the estate district of Biesdorf , the rural communities of Friedrichsfelde , Kaulsdorf , Mahlsdorf , Marzahn and Hellersdorf including the estate district of Wuhlgarten, became the newly founded 17th Berlin administrative district, which was named Lichtenberg received.

Main building of the former Ministry for State Security, Stasi Museum since the 1990s

Friedrichsberg and the western part of the former municipality Boxhagen-Rummelsburg , which lie within the S-Bahn ring , were added to the Friedrichshain administrative district in 1938. This reduced the population of the district, which had been just under 247,000 in October 1937, to around 184,000 in October 1938.

In 1965 Lichtenberg had 168,897 inhabitants, the number of which decreased by 1979 because the districts of Marzahn, Mahlsdorf, Kaulsdorf, Biesdorf and Hellersdorf had been spun off. The magistrate created the independent Marzahn district , which was divided into the Marzahn and Hellersdorf districts in 1986 and restored in 2001 under the new name of Marzahn-Hellersdorf .

Between Normannenstrasse and Frankfurter Allee, the headquarters of the Ministry of State Security settled in the late 1960s, for which existing buildings were used but new ones were also built. The Normannenstrasse research and memorial site has been located in some rooms since 1990 .

After the administrative reform in 2001

The administrative reform passed by the Senate in 2001 led to the merger of Lichtenberg with the previously independent district of Hohenschönhausen . The eleventh district of Berlin thus created continues to bear the name Lichtenberg.

In 2008 the district received the title Place of Diversity awarded by the federal government .

Citizen participation and awards

Participatory budgeting has existed since 2005, and was first drawn up for the 2007 budget year.

In 2006, the first was the election to the House referendum Berlin held at district level. Specifically, the Lichtenberg voters were able to vote on the merger plans of the three southern high schools in the district. The referendum was introduced by parents, students and teachers of the Hans-und-Hilde-Coppi-Gymnasium, who rejected a planned merger with the Immanuel-Kant-Gymnasium and alternatively bring about a merger between Immanuel-Kant-Gymnasium and Georg-Forster-Gymnasium wanted to. The latter proposal was then implemented.

Since 2003, the district office has been awarding a certificate of honor from the Lichtenberg district to citizens who have rendered outstanding services to the district or its residents - politically, economically, socially, culturally, athletically, in charitable terms, through intellectual or human achievements. On the occasion of Women's Day , the Lichtenberg Women's Prize has been awarded annually since 2017 to projects, initiatives or individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the emancipation of the sexes.

coat of arms

→ Main article : Coat of arms of the Lichtenberg district

The coat of arms of the Lichtenberg district was redesigned after the merger of the former Lichtenberg and Hohenschönhausen districts . While the name for the district was quickly determined, the process of finding the coat of arms dragged on for just over five years. There was already a draft in 2004 that did not meet the heraldic requirements by the Senate Commissioner and therefore had to be revised. The coat of arms, which has been in effect since then, was awarded on February 28, 2006 by the Berlin Senate .

Blazon : The upper green field of the divided shield shows a silver mountain, which is connected on both sides with a small silver hill. A growing golden shining sun shows up behind the mountain. The sun is accompanied by two silver deciduous trees with black branches and a black and silver trunk that stand on the small hills. In the lower blue field there are three floating golden ears of wheat next to each other, the middle one a little deeper. A red three-tower wall crown rests on the shield , the central tower of which is covered with the Berlin coat of arms .

Reasons for the coat of arms: The horizontally divided shield shows elements from the former Lichtenberg district coat of arms in the upper field and elements from the Hohenschönhausen district coat of arms in the lower field. The upper field with the sun behind the mountain refers to the elevated, bright clearing that gave the district its name. The lower field with the three ears of corn symbolizes the three historic villages Malchow, Wartenberg and Falkenberg, which were brought in with the district of Hohenschönhausen. The blue of the lower field takes up the blue wavy band of the old Lichtenberg coat of arms and thus refers to the location on Rummelsburger See and the banks of the Spree . The green and the trees in the upper field are an expression of the forest's wealth. The crown of the wall is the connecting element of all Berlin districts .

Town twinning

With its town twinning, the Lichtenberg district pursues the goal of contributing to international understanding and peaceful coexistence. Lichtenberg has seven partnerships with cities in six different countries. Especially the cooperation with the following institutions and associations contributed to this:

Association Solidarity Service International (SODI), Association for Solidarity and Development of Self-Help in Mozambique (Associação de Solidariedade e Desenvolvimento de Auto-Ajuda, ASDA), Evangelical Youth and Welfare Association (EJF), Association for Eastern Europe Center Berlin (OEZB), Alexander-Pushkin -School, Barnim-Gymnasium, Association of the Association of Vietnamese in Berlin & Brandenburg (VdVBB e.V.), Association for Outpatient Care Hohenschönhausen, Citizens Association Fennpfuhl and Berlin Society for International Cooperation (BGZ).
