history
The Spechthausen factory settlement was built in 1708 in the immediate vicinity of an artificially dammed mill pond. The basis of the settlement was an iron hammer with a furnace that Johann Georg Specht had built. The place name Spechthausen goes back to his name. The iron hammer was replaced by a grinding and cutting mill as early as 1724.
At the suggestion of Frederick II , the Spechthausener mill was converted into a paper factory. Jean Dubois received the necessary license from the king in 1781. Initially, from 1799 banknotes and securities were produced. The handmade paper with the woodpecker in the watermark was produced in Spechthausen until 1956. From 1874 to 1945, the paper factory produced the paper for the Reich cash bills and almost all banknotes as well as letters of value and credit, shares, checks and other securities for the German Reich . The paper for the false pound notes , which were dropped by the security service (SD) in London during Aktion Bernhard in World War II, to destabilize the British currency , also came from Spechthausen. In terms of printing technology, this state contract was implemented in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp . From 1956, production in Spechthausen was relocated to an existing paper factory in Wolfswinkel, then a district of Finow . The Spechthausen area became a camp of the NVA .
Between 1931 and 1945 Spechthausen was connected to the network of the Eberswalde-Finowfurt Railway (EFE).
From September 27, 1998, Spechthausen initially belonged to the municipality of Melchow and thus to the Biesenthal-Barnim office . After three and a half years of negotiations, the city of Eberswalde came into being on January 1, 2006.
