Humphreys , a shipyard in Pichelsdorf and built the first steamboat in Prussia , in 1817 and 1818 on the Havel and Spree circulating Princess Charlotte of Prussia . A brewery and a porcelain factory were also built later. With the completion of Heerstraße at the beginning of the 20th century, the village was divided into two areas. Until it was incorporated into Greater Berlin in 1920, Pichelsdorf was an independent rural community in the Osthavelland district . In the 1910 census , the place had 408 inhabitants.
