Since 1861 he ran a shop for manufactured goods and a frame cloth workshop in Wittstock. In 1866 he moved to Berlin. There he first founded a cloth and scarf factory in Papestrasse, in 1890 the terrain company Berlinische Boden-Gesellschaft (BBG) with two partners , and later the Terrainesellschaft Berlin-Südwest . The companies acquired parcels of land from farmers, drawn up development plans, and laid out streets and squares. The ready-to-build site was divided into blocks or parcels and sold to contractors.

In 1893 Haberland sold two thirds of the share capital of Berlinische Boden-Gesellschaft to Dresdner Bank , and he kept one third. As managing director of the company, his son Georg ensured that the family had an influence on corporate policy. In 1906, the Berlinische Bau-Gesellschaft was established as a subsidiary and built houses for the terrestrial society's own needs.

Haberland's first terrain projects were located north of Hohenstaufenstrasse, around Viktoria-Luise-Platz , on Geisbergstrasse and Motzstrasse in Schöneberg . Between 1900 and 1914 he developed the Bavarian Quarter between Hohenstaufenstrasse and Badenscher Strasse just a little south . The Rheingau district around Rüdesheimer Platz in Wilmersdorf and the Wagner district in Friedenau followed between 1910 and 1914 .

Haberland was married to Olga Haberland and had a son.

Awards

The Kingdom of Prussia awarded him the honorary title of Kommerzienrat in 1906 . At the same time, a street in the Bavarian Quarter in Berlin was named after him. The National Socialists renamed the street in 1938 because Haberland was of Jewish faith . In September 1996 part of the street got its original name back. Café Haberland on the roof of Bayerischer Platz underground station has been a reminder of the founding family of the Bavarian Quarter since 2014 .
