Ludwigsfelde is an office-free medium- sized town in the north of the Brandenburg district of Teltow-Fläming with around 27,000 inhabitants. It is located around eleven kilometers south of the Berlin city ​​limits and around eight kilometers east of Potsdam in the Berlin agglomeration . The town charter has existed since July 18, 1965.

The core town of Ludwigsfelde, which gave the entire town its name, is located on the Teltow plateau , while the eleven villages that were incorporated as districts between 1997 and 2003 are mainly located in adjacent lowlands . Districts such as Ahrensdorf and Gröben emerged as colonist villages in the 12th century with the East German settlement . The core city is a re-establishment of 1750/1753 under Frederick the Great in the course of inland colonization . With the construction of an aircraft engine factory by Daimler-Benz in 1936, Ludwigsfelde received the decisive impetus for the development of today's industrial city .

Around 80% of the population lives in the core city, which is characterized by technology-intensive branches of industry , particularly in the areas of automobile production and aerospace technology . Agriculture continues to dominate in the rural districts, which take up 87% of the total area (around 110 km²) . The near-natural villages, some of which are located in the Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park, have also contributed to the tourist boom that has spread to parts of the southern Berlin area since German reunification .

geography

Geographical location

The entire city of Ludwigsfelde is surrounded by the following cities and communities: in the northwest by the Stahnsdorf district of Sputendorf, in the north by Großbeeren , in the northeast by Blankenfelde-Mahlow , in the east with a short stretch on Rangsdorf Lake by Rangsdorf and then by the Zossen district of Glienick, in the southeast of the Zossen district of Nunsdorf, in the south of the Trebbin districts of Märkisch Wilmersdorf , Thyrow , Glau and Blankensee , in the west of the Nuthetal districts of Tremsdorf , Fahlhorst and Saarmund .

The core city is traversed in a west-east direction by the Autobahn 10 , the Berliner Ring, and divided into Ludwigsfelde-Nord and -Süd. Ludwigsfelde has two train stations connected to the Anhalter Bahn , which connects Berlin to Halle an der Saale via Wittenberg . Another train stop connects Ludwigsfelde with the Potsdam - Berlin Schönefeld Airport (BER) line. In a north-south direction, the urban area runs through the federal road 101 (or B 101n), which has been expanded into the “ Yellow Motorway ”, with several interchanges throughout the city.

Natural space

Teltow and lowlands

City center on the Teltow tongue, districts mainly in the western and eastern glacial channels

The entire city of Ludwigsfelde is culturally part of the Teltow . From a geological point of view, however, only the core city lies on the Teltow Plateau, because the geological boundary of the Teltow is more narrowly defined than the cultural one, as the two boundaries on the adjacent map make clear. Then the core city is located on the southwestern Teltow tongue, which is separated from the Trebbiner Platte in the south at the Thyrower Pforte by the Ice Age Saalow-Christinendorfer drainage path . The districts, on the other hand, are mainly located in adjacent lowlands . To the west, the Teltow merges into the Trebbin-Potsdam drainage line, the valley of which the Nuthe and Nieplitz rivers flow through today . To the east, the Teltow tongue descends to the Löwenbrucher valley sand area and to the former Rangsdorf-Thyrower drainage channel, which today is traversed by an extensive ditch system with the main ditch Nuthekanal .

The flat, undulating ground moraine surface of the Teltow , which is on average ten to twenty meters thick , was formed around 20,000 years ago in the Brandenburg stage of the Vistula Ice Age . The differences in height between the plateau and the glacial runoffs are reflected in the different height levels of the Ludwigsfeld urban area. While the core city at an altitude of 43 m above sea level. NN , Schiaß is at a level of 35 m above sea level. NN and Ahrensdorf as the lowest district at 32 m above sea level. NN. At Groß Schulzendorf on the Glienicker Platte east of the Teltowzunge, the town then again reaches 43 m above sea level. NN.

Core city - heather, sand and pitch pool

The core city is surrounded by the Ahrensdorfer Heide, the Siethener Heide am Landschaftsschutzgebiet (LSG) Pechpfuhl, the Genshagener Heide, the Damsdorfer Heide and the Ludwigsfelder Heide. Since 1936 the Genshagener Heide had to give way to industrial buildings in large parts. Due to the dry, sandy Teltow soils, extensive pine stands dominate the forests . Blown sand deposits illustrate the labeling of the Electorate of Brandenburg as the " sand can of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation " in Ludwigsfelde almost ideally.

LSG Pechpfuhl

At the edge of the inland dunes , on the loamy ground of the Teltow, some damp depressions with fractures and stagnant waters formed. This includes the landscape protection area (LSG) Pechpfuhl , which borders directly on the residential areas of the northwestern Ludwigsfelder core town. The former glacial drainage channel drains over the Leopoldsgraben into the Siethener See and further into the Gröbener See . Originally it flowed west of the Nuthe against the current direction of flow of the Nieplitz on over the Schiaßer See and the Grössinsee to the Blankensee . The elongated southern part of the Pechpfuhl is characterized by four open bodies of water and in the northern part, where it takes on the character of an upland moor , by cottongrass moorland and alder forest . Among the flora and fauna , the carnivorous sundew ( Drosera ), which is specially protected in Germany, and the strictly protected wren ( Troglodytes troglodytes ), bird of the year 2004, are noteworthy.

Districts of the Nuthe-Nieplitz lowland

The channel of the Trebbin-Potsdam drainage line west of the Teltow now flows through the Nuthe and the Nieplitz . In the Nuthe-Nieplitz lowland lie the districts of Schiaß, Mietgendorf, Jütchendorf, Siethen, Gröben and Ahrensdorf, all of which are part of the Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park . The lowland is characterized by rupture areas and lake-like extensions in the hypertrophic river-lake system in the lower reaches of the Nieplitz, which in the Ludwigsfeld area consists of the Grössinsee and the Schiaßer See. At Mietgendorf, the southwestern border of Ludwigsfeld runs through the Glauer Berge , which in the middle of the lowland landscape form an isolated compression moraine made of pre-poured sands from the Vistula Ice Age. The highest elevation of the Glauer Berge with 93  m also forms the highest elevation in Ludwigsfeld.

Districts of the Nuthekanal lowlands, Glienicker Platte

The eastern districts of Kerzendorf, Löwenbruch, Genshagen and Wietstock are located in the former Rangsdorf-Thyrower drainage channel on the edge of the Löwenbruch valley sand area, which is now traversed by a rift system with the main ditch Nuthekanal . The boundaries of these villages partly belong to the extensive landscape protection area Notte-Niederung. A part of Wietstock is already up on the Glienicker Platte to the east and the easternmost district of Groß Schulzendorf lies entirely on this plateau. With a small tip, Ludwigsfelde extends further east in this area to Lake Rangsdorf .

Ludwigsfelde lies in a moderate climate zone in the transition area from the Atlantic climate of Northern / Western Europe to the continental climate of Eastern Europe. The temperature curve corresponds roughly to the national German average. The seasonal temperature fluctuations are less than in the usual continental climate, but higher than in the more balanced maritime climate of the coastal regions. The annual mean temperature is 9.0 ° C. The annual sunshine duration is 1618 hours on average. The mean annual rainfall of 551.2 mm is less than the national average of around 800 mm. Most of the precipitation falls in the summer months of June to August with a peak of 69 mm in June. October has the lowest rainfall at 33 mm. Extreme weather such as storms , heavy hail or above-average snowfall are rare.

history

Early settlement

The moist, fertile lowlands and the dry plateaus of Ludwigsfeld attracted settlers very early on, as found in animal bones, pottery shards and stove stones in Jütchendorf , for example, show. The list of monuments of the State of Brandenburg lists a number of sites in almost all districts, including settlements from prehistory and early history , resting and working places from the Mesolithic , a large stone grave from the Neolithic , settlement sites from the Bronze Age as well as burial grounds and settlements from the Iron Age . Furthermore, settlements at the time of the Roman Empire have been proven. After the Suebi , the Elbe-Germanic branch of the Semnones , emigrated towards Swabia in the 5th century, Slavs moved into the area, which was probably largely empty of settlement . From the Slavic Middle Ages there are archaeological monuments almost everywhere in Ludwigsfelde . The first German medieval settlements emerged with the expansion of the country in the course of eastern colonization in the 12th and 13th centuries. Century.

German colonization in the east, first foundation in Ludwigsfeld in 1170

The western districts of Ludwigsfeld belonged to the border area to the east for a long time. The rivers Nuthe and Havel formed the border between the Slavic tribes of the Heveller in the Zauche and the Stodoranen in the Teltow, which played a decisive role in the founding of the Brandenburg region in 1157 by the Ascan Albrecht the Bear . Shortly after the founding of the Mark, the von Gröben family from Gribehne ( Saxony-Anhalt ) responded to the Ascanians' call for settlers for the new country and founded the village of Gröben in 1170 , which is probably the oldest part of Ludwigsfeld. The Cistercians , who in the 12./13. Century techniques such as fishing or the mill construction were leading and the colonization of askanischen Margrave supported missionary alternately and wirtschaftend, were also active in Ludwigsfelde: 1242 jointly ruling Margrave via suitable Johann I. and Otto III. At the instigation of Heinrich von Steglitz and his nephew, the present-day district of Ahrensdorf was transferred to the Lehnin monastery .

The landlords , who determined the development of the districts and also the beginnings of the two late founding colonies of the core city up to the early modern period , belonged to the best-known Brandenburg nobility and aristocratic families . These included the Torgow, Gröben , Thümen , Schlabrendorf , Boytin, Alvensleben , Knesebeck , Hake , Scharnhorst and Jagow families .

Foundation of the core city of Ludwigsfelde

Overview from 1750/1753 to industrialization in 1936

Plan from 1903, Damsdorf and Ludwigsfelde still separate and comparatively meaningless. The lowlands around today's core city are clearly drawn.

The core city itself was only between 1750 and 1753. On the grounds of the deserted village Damsdorf was Frederick the Great in the course of internal colonization and Repeuplierung (repopulation abandoned places) Two colonies or establishments as outworks create and populate by 12 "foreign small-keepers". One establishment belonged to Gut Genshagen under Captain von Haacke and was named the Damsdorf desert. The other colony was on the Löwenbruch district under the landlord and Kurmärkischen chamber president Ernst Ludwig von der Gröben (1703–1773) and was named after his middle name Ludwigsfelde.

The two colonies only merged with the Brandenburg community reform in 1928, initially under the name Damsdorf. Just one year later, on February 22nd, 1929, the name was changed to Ludwigsfelde due to residents' wishes. Another reason for the change was the Ludwigsfelde station on the Anhalter Bahn , built in 1886 , which had made the name Ludwigsfelde much better known than the name Damsdorf. The name Damsdorf is only preserved today in the name of the forest area Damsdorfer Heide north of the city.

The adjacent Pharus map from 1903 shows both parts of the founding of the core city, which in the 19th century was still significantly less important than many of its current districts. For example, in 1800 it was said about Ludwigsfelde: "Colony near Löwenbruch, which makes up a place with Damsdorf". Only after the connection to the Anhalter Bahn and then especially with the first industrialization in the 1930s did the core city overtake its current districts and explode in population compared to the stagnating villages.

Damsdorf desert

Reconstructed Damsdorf fountain from 1240

Between 1997 and 2003 one of the largest excavations of a medieval deserted village in the new federal states took place on the premises of the Preußenpark Ludwigsfelde / Löwenbruch industrial park on an area of ​​25,000 m² . The investigations were aimed at the previous Damsdorf settlement. Analyzes showed that traces of a two-aisled wooden church were built around 1180, wood remains of a fountain were built before 1240 and a stone church was built around 1250. The medieval fountain was reconstructed and in 2000 in the Prussian Park, its first symbolic groundbreaking ceremony on November 1st It was inaugurated in 1992.

The village was first mentioned in 1375 in the land register of Emperor Karl IV as Danstorff prope Trebbin . In 1413 there is an entry as the dorffere Damstorff and in 1479 there was already talk of the half wusten veltmarck zu Domstorff . In 1540 the village is finally recorded as a desert: the wuste veltmarcke Dambstorff , also in 1644, again in the spelling Damstorff . According to Gerhard Schlimpert, the village fell desolate at the end of the 15th century, and in 1610 there was only a sheep farm on the desert field . As with the Reichenwalder and Müncheberg districts or parishes of Dahmsdorf, Reinhard E. Fischer etymologically derives the name Damsdorf from the designation "after a man with the German personal name Thomas (biblical name, from Hebrew), Middle Low German " Domes, Domas "" .

Johann von Torgow, Herr zu Zossen , was founded in 1413 by Burgrave Friedrich VI. from Nuremberg (later Friedrich I of Brandenburg) with levies from the customs to Berlin and several surrounding villages, including Damsdorf. According to documents from 1462 and 1472, the village was owned by the Lords of Torgow, which also includes today's Ludwigsfeld districts of Genshagen, Kerzendorf and Löwenbruch as well as Kleinbeeren , Rangsdorf and today's Berlin part of Steglitz . It is unclear why Damstorf fell desolate. Possibly the abandonment of the village was related to the extinction of the von Torgow family, which is countered by the fact that all other Torgow estates continued to exist.

Spinner colonies and the effects of war 1756/63, 1813

The two establishments in Damsdorf and Ludwigsfelde were established in 1750/1753 primarily as spinner colonies that stretch yarn for the textile factories in Berlin and Brandenburg. In addition, the settled families practiced some agriculture . Ludwigsfelde included "3 fields, each of which had 3 Wispel Aussat." Both colonies emerged southeast of today's train station in close proximity to each other, only separated by a street, with Ludwigsfelde at the still existing Alte Krug. The Alte Krug from 1753, which was rebuilt several times and originally had thatched roof, is the oldest building still in existence in the city center. The monument has been home to dining facilities since it was founded.

It is not known whether the two small colonies were affected by the Seven Years' War between 1756 and 1763 . What is certain is that today's districts such as Gröben suffered hard from the devastation and looting of the war. The Gröben church book contains the entry:

"1760 on 11., 12. On October 13th and 13th, Gröben was visited by a few strolling Austrians, along with some from the Imperial Army. On what occasion the place not alone at 700 thousand. There was pillage, but the inhabitants were also looted and their horses were taken away from them. Likewise, the church and the rectory have not been spared. "

In 1791 Ludwigsfelde included "11 fire places, 9 Büdner, 1 Kruger and 59 souls". 1805 lived in both colonies, which "actually formed one place [...]", a total of 85 inhabitants. After the suicide of Major a. D. Karl Wilhelm von der Gröben on November 29, 1805 the male line of this family went out and through Elisabeth von der Gröben, married to Wilhelm Leopold von dem Knesebeck (1735-1803) from Karwe am Ruppiner See , Löwenbruch came and with it the colony Ludwigsfelde to the von dem Knesebeck and in 1823 passed to Wilhelm von dem Knesebeck in a will. Only with the land reform of the Soviet occupation zone in 1945 were the estates of the Knesebeck dissolved. On August 22, 1813, the day before the Battle of Großbeeren , Ludwigsfelde was badly affected in connection with the battles around the Wietstocker Schanzen . It is said that around a thousand dead soldiers remained in the field between Wietstock and Ludwigsfelde. Occasionally there are still worn memorial stones in the forest area, which the authorities have unfortunately ignored.

Railway connection 1843 and consequences

Timetable from 1848 of the Berlin-Anhalt Railway Company

The industrial revolution left Ludwigsfelde and the spinner families without a trace for a long time. The first modest upswing began with the construction of the Berlin-Anhalt Railway Company between 1839 and 1841. The railway line ran through the district and in 1843 the still small town was given a stop called Ludwigsfelde at the instigation of the landowners who wanted to participate in the technical progress . The halt developed into a transshipment center for all surrounding manors . From Löwenbruch, Genshagen, Gröben, Siethen and Kerzendorf “the heavy farm wagons rolled up. The carters got in contact with the railroad workers and learned about the events in a world that until then had been beyond their imagination. ”In the same year 1843 Ludwigsfelde received a post office of the Royal Prussian Post .

In 1861 there were nine households in the Damsdorf colony . The population, without exception, was Protestant and consisted of three overseers, a housekeeper, five servants, three maids, a craftsman and a large number of day laborers . The households had nine domestic pigs and fifteen domestic goats . "In addition, six civil servants from the private railway company and three people lived in Dahmsdorf who" partly lived on alms ". In the same year, the Ludwigsfelde colony had 25 inhabitants, all of whom were Protestant, who were spread over six households and over two pigs and had eleven goats. With the exception of a house and a stable, all Ludwigsfeld buildings belonged to the lords of Löwenbruch.

In 1886 the Ludwigsfelde train station was completed as a representative brick building, which today serves as a museum and is the second oldest preserved building in the city center and is a listed building. The upswing due to the railway connection was accompanied by an expansion of the road network , for the financing of which a road building had been set up at the entrance to the town to collect road tolls . In 1904 the place received a telegraph office .

Start of industrialization in 1936 and World War II

The colonies that were now united to form Ludwigsfelde received the decisive impetus for establishing an industrial location in 1936 with the construction of an aircraft engine plant. The population exploded from around 100 inhabitants in 1900 to 229 in 1933, 1,032 in 1937, 3,640 in 1939, 5,810 in 1950, 13,009 in 1960, 16,663 in 1970 to 22,900 in 1983. Since 1936 the Ludwigsfeld's settlement and industrial history are closely intertwined.

In 1936/1937, the Reich Aviation Ministry (RLM) decided to build an aircraft engine plant in Genshagener Heide . The Kurmärkische Kleinsiedlungsgesellschaft built inexpensive apartments in order to tie a trunk of workers to the plant. This is how one of the largest housing estates in Germany was built, the Daimler factory settlement, on both sides of today's Ernst-Thälmann-Strasse. The northern end of this district is formed by the wooden housing estate that was built in 1944 and for which the city council passed a conservation statute in 1992. The need for labor in the war phase was so high that more and more prisoners of war and forced laborers were used in production; in the spring of 1944 there were 11,000 members from almost all occupied countries. In addition, there were inmates of the Großbeeren labor education camp and 1,200 inmates of the Danzig -Matzkau SS prison camp , who had to live under inhumane conditions. Although it had already been partially destroyed by Allied air raids, a satellite camp of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp for 1,100 women from the Ravensbrück concentration camp was set up on the factory premises in September 1944 . They too had to work under terrible conditions. Many died of hunger and disease, and 43 workers were executed by the Gestapo .

Development in the GDR

After the Second World War , the destroyed aircraft engine plant was dismantled. From 1952, with the establishment of the Ludwigsfelde industrial plant (IWL), later a truck plant with around 10,000 employees, there was renewed immigration, in particular by numerous resettlers from eastern Germany east of the Oder-Neisse border . Several settlements in different architectural forms were built for the new residents. Particularly outstanding is the “socialist residential town” built around Heinrich-Heine-Platz (poet's quarter) in the form of the national building tradition in the 1950s.

According to the Stasi protocols published by the project on June 17, 1953 , a demonstration took place during the uprising of June 17, 1953 in Ludwigsfelde, during which the strikers carried banners with slogans such as free elections, more butter, HO price cuts, and the dissolution of the national armed forces . The 1,500 workers involved did not come from the industrial plant, but were construction workers for the housing construction of the Potsdam Building Union. According to the minutes, the strikers went to the industrial plant and asked IFA workers to also stop working. When they did not comply, the strikers allegedly tried to destroy machines at the plant. After the Stasi had disbanded the accumulations in the meantime, 200 people appeared in front of the industrial plant in the evening to free a person imprisoned there. The Stasi arrested 15 so-called ringleaders . However, the MTS Ludwigsfelde [...] remained occupied by the protest demonstrators. At that time, according to their protocols, the Stasi had 35 employees in the industrial plant and another 35 on site. On the morning of the following day, June 18, 1953, around 400 construction workers gathered in front of the mayor's barracks in Ludwigsfelde and demanded freedom for the strike leadership . The Stasi then sent another 35 employees to the town. When work in the industrial plant was only very reluctantly started, the People's Police, with the help of the Soviet Army , forced work to begin using force:

“After the command had left, leaving five VP members behind, it was reported after 20 minutes that the barracks camp workers were gathering on the street and not lowering the MTS tractors. Thereupon a second operation was started in connection with a command of the Soviet army, whereby the provocateurs, about 400-500 men, were surrounded and driven apart by the first use of the rubber truncheon. Three of the ringleaders were arrested and complete peace was restored. "

- People's Police report, quoted from the project on June 17, 1953
Former barracks wall with mural

A further expansion of the industrial plants required new housing estates, so that the second residential town and Ludwigsfelde West were built in the late 1950s and 1960s and the Ludwigsfelde-Nord housing estate , which was built in several construction phases using prefabricated panels, was built in the 1970s and 1980s . The Ludwigfeldes Kulturhaus was built in 1959 as a community facility with appropriate use, and in 1965 the town was granted city rights .

In October 1976 Ludwigsfelde became an army base. The National People's Army set up a location for a news regiment in Neckarstrasse on the western outskirts of the city. In 1981 the barracks wall was decorated by the Ludwigsfeld artist Volkhard Böhme with a ten-part mural History of the Message Transmission. The wall was preserved even after the site was closed and was placed under monument protection in 2019.

After the turn

The last product from Automobilwerke Ludwigsfelde: an IFA L60 truck

After reunification , the 9,700 employees at the IFA plant lost their initial hopes of a joint venture with Daimler-Benz. The last IFA W50 truck left the assembly line on December 17, 1990 . However, Daimler-Benz resumed its old tradition in Ludwigsfelde as early as 1991, so that the continuity of the Ludwigsfelde industrial location was preserved. The settlement of new companies and the formation of industrial and business parks in the 1990s and at the beginning of the 21st century ensured steady growth in the city ( see below: industrial production ), which was taken into account with new residential areas and representative buildings. On November 30, 1996, the city inaugurated a new town hall , which was previously housed in a barrack of the Nazi forced labor camp. In 1999 DaimlerChrysler built a residential complex in Ahrensdorfer Heide, followed by the Preußenpark residential area and in 2001 the pine settlement. In 2006, a new attraction opened in Ludwigsfelde with the Kristalltherme (see below).

Administrative affiliation

Until 1952 Ludwigsfelde was part of the Teltow district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg , from 1947 it was part of the state of Brandenburg . From 1952 to 1993 Ludwigsfelde belonged to the district of Zossen in the district of Potsdam , from 1990 to the state of Brandenburg . With the administrative reform in 1993, the city became part of the newly formed Teltow-Fläming district .

Incorporations

As early as August 1, 1961, the former community of Struveshof was incorporated into Ludwigsfelde. On December 31, 1997, six villages were added to the city as districts. Ahrensdorf has also been part of Ludwigsfelde since November 30, 2001 and Groß Schulzendorf since October 26, 2003.

Population development

The development of the population shows in particular the thrusts after the establishment of Daimler-Benz Motoren GmbH in 1936 and after the establishment of the Ludwigsfelde industrial plant (IWL) in the 1950s and 1960s. The population of the two founding colonies in 1750/1753 was added up until they merged in 1928. As far as information is available, see the individual district articles for the population figures of the districts before their incorporation.

Ship , altar (1616) and apse (1914) of the stone church in Siethen from the 13th / 14th centuries. century

Up until the secularization of the Lehnin Monastery in 1542, the Cistercians exerted a great influence on the cultural and religious life in the villages that are now part of Ludwigsfelde and were involved in the construction of several village churches . In 1539 the Elector of Brandenburg Joachim II introduced the Reformation . After that, Brandenburg was a predominantly Protestant region for centuries. The Lutheran creed was predominant alongside the Reformed Church . In 1817 the two evangelical denominations within Prussia were united to form the Uniate Church . In 1918 the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union was established , which in 1947 became the Evangelical Church in Berlin-Brandenburg . In 2004 the church merged with the Evangelical Church of Silesian Upper Lusatia to form the Evangelical Church in Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia . Ludwigsfelde is divided into the three communities Ahrensdorf, Ludwigsfelde and Löwenbruch, which belong to the parish of Zossen in the district of Görlitz .

Until 1955 there was no church building in the two spinner colonies of Damsdorf and Ludwigsfelde or in the later core town . The faithful went to the neighboring churches in Löwenbruch, Genshagen or Siethen for worship . The church of St. Michael, consecrated on May 8, 1955, is intended to embody the Bethlehem stable in its architectural style and was given a matching, simple wooden interior. The community of the core city has around 2,000 members (as of 2007). Furthermore, within the Protestant Church, the regional church community , which operates the Shalom community center, and the Seventh-day Adventist Free Church with a community center exist as organizationally free groups .

Since 1998 there has been a town partnership with the small Polish town of Zdzieszowice in the Opole Voivodeship . The partnership consists of exchange and mutual visits on a political, cultural and sporting level. In 2001, for example, the "Ludwigsfeld Men's Ballet" of the Ludwigsfeld Carnival Association performed in the city on the Oder .

There are further friendly connections to Paderborn , Rheinfelden and Gaggenau , which have not yet resulted in official partnerships.

  • The connection to the university town of Paderborn, in which there is a Ludwigsfelder Ring, has existed since German reunification. The origin of the connection was the use of the Paderborn data center by the city of Ludwigsfelde.
  • With Rheinfelden there is visitor traffic in the cultural, especially musical, field. The Ludwigsfelde brass orchestra made several guest appearances in the medium-sized center on the Swiss border.
  • The connection to Gaggenau, the middle center in the Middle Upper Rhine region , goes back to the Mercedes-Benz plant there, which works closely with the Mercedes plant in Ludwigsfeld.

badges and flags

Current city arms

Current city arms and flag

The coat of arms was approved on March 25, 1993.

Blazon : "Split of black and silver, inside a rooted pine tree in mixed colors, accompanied on the right by a golden gear and on the left by a red bird trap."

The flag of the city of Ludwigsfelde consists of two vertical stripes in the colors white and black with the city coat of arms placed on the seam when hung on a cross piece.

The crown of the pine covers the cogwheel and the bird catcher, its spreading roots form the base of the coat of arms. The central position of the pine stands for the extensive forests (heaths) around the central city, which are mainly characterized by extensive pine stands on the dry Teltow soils. The golden gear symbolizes the industrial development and importance of the core city and was adopted as the only part of the former coat of arms. The red bird leg is an eagle catch and borrowed from the heraldic animal of the state of Brandenburg , the red Märkischer Adler . It shows that the city belongs to the country and is reminiscent of the Ascanian settlement of the villages, as the Märkische Adler goes back to the Ascanian eagle.

Former city arms

Former city arms

After the city elevation in 1965, Ludwigsfelde initially had a different coat of arms, the shield of which was shaped like the outline of an engine block when used by the city.

Description of the coat of arms: “Divided into red and gold. Above a stylized golden skyscraper, below at the dividing line a stylized black bridge. Both parts of the sign were covered with a black cogwheel that was up behind the high-rise building and down in front of the bridge. "

The bridge represents the connection between north and south Ludwigsfeld under the autobahn, which consisted of a narrow eye of a needle on concrete pillars before the extensive new route was laid. The old coat of arms is remarkable because there were very few new coats of arms in the GDR. In addition, the stylized high-rise is heraldic to the right of a fictitious gap and in heraldic color theory , the combination of black and red next to each other (color next to color) is actually excluded. In a correct blazon the passage of the mixed up colors would appear, because otherwise a black gear over a black bridge cannot be represented.

Ludwigsfelde in literature and film

Theodor Fontane

On his hikes through the Mark Brandenburg (Volume 4, Spreeland, published 1882) Theodor Fontane held talks in the manor house at Löwenbruch and visited Siethen and Gröben :

“One of the most important défilés from Wittenberg to Märkisch was the Nuthe valley from ancient times, and from ancient times there were also fixed points to defend or close this défilé. Of particular importance among these fixed points was the Bytom Castle, situated on the middle course of the river, the same Bytom Castle which the Quitzow supporters held against the Nuremberg burgrave and whose submission was linked to the victory of the Hohenzoller cause.

From this castle, which was much mentioned at the time, we take our exit today, following the course of the river, and after half an hour's walk we reach a moderate hill, from which we overlook two lakes and two villages: Gröben and Siethen. A Brandenburg idyll. But also a piece of Brandenburg history. "

Fontane visited Gröben several times (1860 and 1881) to inspect the Gröben church book, the oldest surviving church book in the Mark Brandenburg. The book contains - with small interruptions - records from the years 1575 to 1786 and meant for Fontane a “perfect microcosm” of village life. The writer reproduces this microcosm in detail in his walks .

Günter Görlich and Antje Rávic Strubel

The novel An advertisement in the newspaper of the writer Günter Görlich from 1978 is set in Ludwigsfelde and gives an impression of everyday school life in the GDR in the 1960s and 1970s. The author completed a pedagogy degree in 1951 and then worked as an educator in the Struveshof youth work center and from 1953 to 1958 in a teaching combine in Ludwigsfelde. The novel was filmed for television by DEFA in 1980 under the same name . Directed by Jurij Kramer , the actors included Petra Barthel , Hans Teuscher , Kurt Böwe , Christine Schorn , Manfred Richter and Alexander Lang .

Central to the novel by Antje Rávic Strubel : IFA work

The novel Tupolew 134 from 2004 by Antje Rávic Strubel , who grew up in Ludwigsfelde and has received several literary prizes , also has the city as its scene in large sections. The author tells the kidnapping of a Tupolev 134 to Tempelhof by GDR citizens in 1978 on three time levels. The last level describes the memory work 25 years after the escape and the middle level the court hearing at the West Berlin airport. In the prehistory, the author lets the kidnappers work in the IFA Kombinat Ludwigsfelde , which she describes as follows:

“The IFA automobile plant is a complex of routes, access roads, porter's houses and a huge final assembly hall. There is the story of a fitter who experienced three times in this plant. First he worked in aircraft engine production, later he made engines for racing boats and scooters with unsuspecting names like Pitty or Wiesel and finally trucks with four-wheel drive. But when asked about it, he couldn't tell anything. Not a single word."

- Antje Rávic Strubel : Tupolew 134

For example, Strubel writes about sand and modern Ludwigsfelde:

“Potsdamer Strasse is glazed up to the train station. The city council has become a glass house. You can see everything, you can now look through everything. There is no one who can give you any further information. You don't escape anyone. All the sand here was made into glass. The playgrounds have been dug, the test track cleared, every hill of sand removed in the allotment gardens and around the pool, the pine roots are now also exposed. Bare, high-quality, smooth panes were placed on top. For all the glass you sometimes no longer know whether you are still standing in front of a house or whether you have already gone inside. Whether you are not looking out of a window, but perhaps looking inside again, so that you cannot get out of all of Ludwigsfelde. "

- Antje Rávic Strubel : Tupolew 134

Falko Hennig

Ludwigsfelde plays an important role in two novels by the author Falko Hennig , born in 1969 . His first novel Alles nur stolen (Augsburg 1999) describes childhood and youth in the city. In the novel, Falko Hennig portrays himself as a petty criminal whose father loses his job as a teacher in the GDR for political reasons and henceforth works in the car factory.

The city is even more central to Hennig's second novel Trabanten (Munich 2002). The protagonist is obsessed with cars and his story illustrates the history of automobile and rocket construction in Ludwigsfelde.

“A new decision made Ludwigsfelde the place of manufacture, a huge new workshop was built, apartment blocks, kindergartens, department stores, and with the first truck off the production line, Ludwigsfelde was allowed to call itself 'city'. Even an automobile manufacturing city, it got a coat of arms in the form of a bulging engine cylinder. "

- Falko Hennig : satellites

Even if history, fiction and reality merge into one another in the novel, Ludwigsfelde is described very precisely in Trabanten as a place:

“There was forest all around, actually there was even forest in Ludwigsfelde, behind the wooden houses, between the apartment blocks, pines stretched upwards everywhere, long and thin or gnarled when they stood individually. Ludwigsfelde was divided by the Autobahn, but the two halves of the city were connected by a road and a pedestrian tunnel. "
