location

Wilhelmshorst is about 7 km south of Potsdam at the foot of the 91 m high beautiful mountains. They are part of the Saarmunder terminal moraine arc that runs from the Potsdamer Brauhausberg to the Saarmunder Berg . The Berlin- Beelitz railway line divides Wilhelmshorst into a northern and a southern area.

history

The first settlement of Wilhelmshorst took place at the beginning of the 20th century. The area originally belonged to the rural community of Neu-Langerwisch and partly to the desert Feldmark Schön (en) berg. The place was named Wilhelmshorst in 1911 after the Charlottenburg merchant Wilhelm Müller (or Mühler ). Already before 1906 he had bought land in the Greuelheide north of the railway line from Langerwischer farmers. In 1906 he commissioned the surveyor W. Ludewig to survey and parcel out the site. The parceling plan was submitted to the district for approval in 1907. The submission of the development plan is considered the foundation date. In 1909 the parceling plan was approved on the condition that areas were made available for public facilities such as the church, rectory, cemetery, school and train station. However, development began as early as 1905 with the construction of Wilhelm Mühler's summer house. The development progressed quickly, because by 1912 electricity and water lines had already been laid. In 1914 a stop was created on the railway line, in 1915 the station building was completed. About a dozen houses had been built by then. In 1911 a development plan was drawn up for the area south of the railway line by the “Wilhelmshorster property company”. A year later, 14 properties had already been sold. After the First World War , development initially stagnated; At first only a few new buildings were built, including the stately-looking, listed country house of Renesse (An den Bergen 54).

In 1925, 193 hectares were separated from the district of Neu-Langerwisch and added to the Wilhelmshorst district. At the same time Wilhelmshorst was raised to a rural community. 1928 were in the context of reorganization in the district Zauch-Belzig other parts of Gutsbezirk Kunersdorf Forest , transferred from Gutsbezirk New Langerwisch and from Gutsbezirk plantation house the new municipality. In 1931 the size of the district was given as 1202 ha. In 1939, Wilhelmshorst had 1,313 residents who lived in Wilhelmshorst and the associated residential areas Templin and Forsthaus Templin.

Shortly before the end of the war, in the Battle of Berlin , Wilhelmshorst was occupied by Red Army troops. In 2009 and 2010 a diary was published by Friedrich Helms.

In 1946 Wilhelmshorst received a forest allowance of 76 hectares from the Ferch community . In 1957, 17 hectares of the makeshift housing estate were given to the Michendorf community. On July 1, 1950, the community briefly lost its independence. The settlement belonged to Potsdam until July 24, 1952 . Wilhelmshorst remained independent until it was incorporated into Michendorf on October 26, 2003. In 2007 the place celebrated its 100th anniversary a. a. with the publication of an anniversary book.

Public facilities

The eingekirchte first to Langerwisch Wilhelmshorst was 1,926 independent parish . The cemetery was inaugurated that same year. In 1932 a cemetery chapel was built in the cemetery. In 1936/37, the Wilhelmshorst village church was built in the northern part of Wilhelmshorst based on a design by Winfried Wendland .

Until 1930 the children of the Wilhelmshorster citizens went to school in Langerwisch. From this year on, a temporary school was set up (initially in the residential building at Heidereuterweg 12). In 1932/33 the community acquired the residential building on Heidereuterweg 2 and converted it into a school. In 1947 the school moved into a newly built barrack, which was expanded in 1975/76 with a two-story extension. In 1987 a new school building was built on Heidereuterweg.
