Scharfenberg is the name of a 200,190 m² island in Tegeler See in Berlin . A car ferry connects Scharfenberg with the mainland just a few meters away on the Schwarzen Weg (to Tegelort ). The island has an elongated shape with north-south orientation (about 1000 m × 420 m), with the ferry dock near the northern tip. To the north of Scharfenberg is the island of Lindwerder , to the south are the islands of Baumwerder and Valentinswerder .

The island is best known for the Scharfenberg island school farm founded by Wilhelm Blume in 1922 . The school is a state all-day high school with an attached boarding school and external students.

According to the 2006 Environmental Atlas, the island has nine inhabitants.

history

Archaeological finds on Scharfenberg, Lindwerder and the Reiherwerder peninsula prove that the Tegeler See belonged to the Slavic settlement chamber of the Heveller , which had its headquarters on the former Havel island under the Spandau castle wall .

In 1777 the islands of Scharfenberg and Baumwerder became the property of the von Humboldt family . In 1831 Wilhelm von Humboldt's valet Sandrock received it on a long lease , who soon sold it to the farmer Krause. In 1867 the naturalist Carl August Bolle acquired the islands, on which he settled after his study trips to the Cape Verde and Canary Islands . He built a country house, the "Bollehaus". The heirs of Bolle sold the island of Scharfenberg and the neighboring island of Baumwerder in 1909 to the city of Berlin. Later the islands were used by the municipal waterworks.

On the initiative of Wilhelm Blumes, who was a teacher at the Humboldt-Gymnasium ( Berlin-Mitte , Gartenstrasse 25, today: after-school care center of the Papageno-Grundschule), the secondary school students were taught on the island for the summer in 1921 , with the support of the USPD - City Councilor Klara Weyl against the management of the waterworks. Shortly thereafter, a city boarding school for boys was founded as an experimental school and named Wilhelm Blume as its director. In 1923 the farm started on the island with students as helpers.

natural reserve

The island is part of the LSG-2C Islands landscape protection area in Tegeler See, which was formed in 1960 . Their use is therefore subject to considerable restrictions and in some cases requires special permits from the nature conservation authority, for example in the case of bank extensions and the construction of jetties.

Others

Various exterior shots of the ZDF series Our Teacher Doctor Specht (1991–1999) were shot on the island of Scharfenberg. Parts of the series also play there.
