The community settlement "Hinter der Dorfaue" is a listed housing estate in the Berlin district of Reinickendorf , built in 1919 and 1920 by the community of Reinickendorf.
History and architecture
The "Hinter der Dorfaue" settlement was built at the same time as the Luisenhof settlement north of the village green of Reinickendorf on a plot of land between the Freiheitsweg and the Kremmener Bahn embankment that the community of Reinickendorf bought from the farm owner, Karl Großkopf . On 30 plots, private homes were built as semi-detached and terraced houses in the form of a courtyard. The land was to be sold mainly to war invalids and survivors. However, after only a few were able to pay the prescribed down payment of 4,000 M, the land was also given to applicants from the middle class. The municipal building councilor Hans Krecke was responsible for the planning together with the municipal builder Reinhold Reppin . In 1920 the settlement was completed. The parcels were sold and the houses occupied. Most of the properties were inhabited by civil servants from the municipality, the post office, transport companies and the school system. The councilor Hans Krecke also moved into one of the terraced houses.
By 1945, 24 of 30 properties were still owned by the families who had moved into the houses in 1920. Up until then there were only a few structural changes. Only the massive balconies on the garden side, under which the small cattle barn was located, were partially converted into verandas. The street "Hinter der Dorfaue" was paved in the 1930s. The settlement remained almost undamaged in World War II. Only the line behind the village meadow No. 25-27 was destroyed on the upper floors and was rebuilt in 1947. The shock wave from the bomb hit also damaged the roofing of the surrounding houses, which was also repaired in the late 1940s. Numerous houses were re-plastered in the 1940s and 1950s.
As a result of repair work in the second half of the 20th century, some important design features typical of the settlement were lost, such as the street-side bat dormers and the entrance designs with trellises. The protection of the settlement “Hinter der Dorfaue” as a monument ensemble in the 1990s honors the settlement as an important testimony to the housing construction of the post-war period of World War I and enables the preservation or recovery of essential design features.
