Woltersdorf is a municipality in the Oder-Spree district in Brandenburg . It is the smallest municipality in Germany with its own tram .
Origin of name and additions
The name of the community probably does not refer to the founder or locator of the village with the name Walter or Wolter , but to the home village of the first settlers. Other spellings included: Slavic Waltersdorf (1319), Woltersdorp (1416, 1487) and Waltersdorf (1555, 1710, 1821).
Additions to names
The community had already received numerous nicknames . The first was the addition " Wendisch- " to refer to the situation in Germania Slavika . Due to the affiliation to the office and the church of Cöpenick then " zu Cöpenick " was common in documents . When the village came to the Rüdersdorf parish in 1553, the addition " bei Rüdersdor f" was used more frequently in church matters and beyond . With the opening of the Erkner station in 1842, the addition "bei Erkner " came up, which is still used today by Deutsche Bahn and generally in the transport sector. Since the establishment of Schönblick and the tram to the Rahnsdorf S-Bahn station, the addition " near Berlin " has been used more often. These additions refer to neighboring locations. There is also the addition " at the lock ". This is used by the community itself and many associations.
geography
location
The community is located in the southeast of Berlin on the three lakes Bauersee , Flakensee and Kalksee . In the east and southwest it borders on the large forest areas of the Rüdersdorfer and Köpenicker forests . In the north and south the development of the neighboring communities connects almost seamlessly.
Neighboring communities
Woltersdorf borders (clockwise, starting from the north) with Rüdersdorf , Grünheide , Erkner , Berlin (district Rahnsdorf ) and Schöneiche .
Geology and hydrology
Woltersdorf received its natural structure after the last ice age . It lies on the border of the plateau of Barnim for Warsaw-Berlin glacial valley . In the west of the municipality, this border runs almost on the southern development boundary of the Schönblick district. In the east all inhabited municipal areas are on the Barnim side, only the Springe and Schleusenberg are already in the glacial valley. In the east by the lakes, the community is also part of a glacial channel through which the meltwater from the glaciers on the Barnim plateau flowed south into the Berlin glacial valley. This channel divides the community from north to south roughly along Berghofer Weg, Rüdersdorfer and Ethel-und-Julius-Rosenberg-Straße. To the west of it form a terminal moraine , to the east of it sands of the glacial channel form the surface. In the late phase of the Vistula Ice Age, westerly winds caused the formation of dunes, of which the Fuchsberge are the largest in Woltersdorf. In addition to the Kalksee in the east, the Bauersee northeast of the old village and the Flakensee in the southeast, there are also smaller ponds in the municipality such as Ahés Pfuhl in the northwest of the village and the Paddenpfuhl in the west of Schönblick. There are flowing waters only in the form of the Bauergraben from Bauer- to Flakensee and the Kuhgraben , which only exists in its southern course from Rüdersdorfer Straße to Bauersee.
Community structure
The districts of Schönblick in the west, Springeberg in the south and Stolp in the northeast belong to Woltersdorf . In addition, there are the locations Werder, Schleusenberg, Kietz, Seebad, Krähenwinkel, Postsiedlung, Knack, Fuchsberge, as well as the new development areas Demos-Siedlung and Lerchenfeld.
history
There are archaeological traces of the first settlements on the border with Kleinschönebeck , on the Sprintberg west of the Eichberg and on the Rötheberg between the Bauer and Kalksee lakes. Before the time of the Great Migration , the Elbe Germanic tribe of the Semnones probably lived here , later the Slavic tribe of the Sprewanen .
Early days
After the Teltow War , in which the two Brandenburg Margraves Otto III. and Johann I were able to prevail against the Saxon Wettins in the area of Köpenick and Mittenwalde , around 1245 some locators were given the task of founding new villages in Barnim. Such a village was founded on its southern edge, on the hill between Bauer and Flakensee . Today it still forms the center of the village with a church, jug , school and town hall. However, these buildings were added gradually. The new settlers probably named it after their hometown, which is near Zahna near Wittenberg , which at that time belonged to the ancestral home of the Ascanians . In 1319 Woltersdorf was first mentioned in a document as Waltersdorf Slawica (Wendisch-Woltersdorf). The addition of the name Slawica was probably used for better distinction rather than to indicate Slavic inhabitants, for which there is no evidence. The Woltersdorfer Kietz (now called Kalkseestraße) cannot be clearly traced back to Slavic origins . In 1375 Woltersdorf was mentioned in the land register of Karl IV and had to pay taxes to the margravial castle of Cöpenick with Rahnsdorf . Woltersdorf also belonged to the church in Cöpenick. At that time the village was owned by the margrave and owned by the Britzkes . These sold their share after 1451 to the Wagenschütz zu Pinnow. This noble property was called a good .
Berlin property
At Easter 1487, the city of Berlin acquired the village and estate Woltersdorf from Heinrich Wagenschütz for 150 Schock Mark groschen. The city bought it in the hope that the Rüdersdorfer limestone could still be found in Woltersdorf. The fields of the estate were mainly in the Knack , which was located in the north of the municipality, including meadows east of it to the Stolp Canal and the vineyard north of the village. The manor house itself was south of the village, in today's Ethel-und-Julius-Rosenberg-Straße 27-28. The estate there consisted of a manor house , park, stables and a brick factory . The servants and residents of the estate included a Meier , a shepherd , a wine master , a spook master and a heather rider . Initially, Berlin appointed a bailiff to manage the estate for them, later it leased the estate in whole or in part to local farmers or other people. When buying the property, the following people are named as owners in the village: the four farmers Kasper Mattis , Peter, Klaus and Dames Rike , as well as the three farmers Lentze Richenow , Martin Jakob and Borchard Byll . The fields of the farmers and cottagers were mainly the large field , which lay along today's Berliner Straße up to the Eichendamm, and the small field in the area of Ahés Pfuhl and school. There were also meadows on the Bauersee and Kalksee for hay extraction.
In 1550 a lock was built at the southern end of the Kalksee to improve the transport of the Rüdersdorfer limestone to Berlin. The lock masters there settled in what would later become Kietz. Since 1553 Woltersdorf belonged to the parish Rüdersdorf and two years later the church of St. Michael was built in the village. In 1575 and 1598 numerous residents died of the plague . During the Thirty Years' War the village was so badly devastated by the troops of Wallenstein in November 1633 that all the farms were deserted .
Establishment and expansion
In 1642, the farmers Andreas Petrich and Peter Weber moved to their fathers' village, restored the farms in the old jug and today's town hall and began to till the fields. Woltersdorf was "newly founded". In the next few decades, more farmers and kossas were added until all the farms were occupied again. The estate also still existed. The city of Berlin argued with the tenants about the lack of lease payments and the tenants argued with the Woltersdorf farmers about the use of fields and forests.
Around 1700 the old dilapidated lock at the southern end of the Kalksee was replaced by a new one between the Mühlenteich and Flakensee. This had become necessary because the old lock had become dilapidated further north and could no longer cope with the new quantities of lime transports to Berlin.
In 1707 Johann Jänicke built a mill next to the sluice and used the southeast corner of the Werder as a garden. In 1713 there was a not profitable mulberry planting . In 1721, Christian Kayser, a huckster, settled in Kietz am Kalksee, as there was no more space in the old village. The residents in the Kietz never lived mainly from agriculture, this was reserved for the farm owners in the village. The numerous lakes in the as yet hardly populated area and the lock with its through traffic turned them into fishermen , boatmen and craftsmen . Also in 1721 a sexton's house with a schoolroom was built in the village. In 1793, the city of Berlin gave the Gutsäcker im Knack to the 13 Woltersdorf farm owners on a long lease . These were the four farmers Johann Gottlob Krüger , Christian Reusch , Michael Petrick , Michael Jaensch's widow and the nine co-workers Gottfried Meersbach , Friedrich Petrick , Gottfried Nitze , Christian Strength , Friedrich Reinicke , Martin Steuer , Michael Kloß , Christian Schröder and Gottlieb Brederecke . Thus the entire arable land of the community was owned by the Woltersdorf farmers and only the forest area of Gutsheide belonged to the estate. During the Russian campaign and the wars of liberation soldiers were billeted several times and epidemics broke out. In 1843 a shipbuilding company was founded in Kietz . In 1848 the first house was built on the Stolp . This was the last establishment that was economically related to the lime mining in Rüdersdorf, because the first stumblers earned their money with the ferry across the canal and catering for the boatmen. On the night of May 30th to 31st, 1851 a fire broke out in the old village. The church and the school, four farm houses, five cottages and seven other houses were destroyed.
Excursion destination
In the decades that followed the village fire, the Woltersdorfer Schleuse became a popular destination for more or less affluent Berliners. In addition, numerous institutions that still exist today were founded and the municipality became administratively more independent. On May 29, 1859, Berlin sold the Woltersdorf estate to the merchant Israel Wolff , who leased it to Albert Wundahl . This parceled out the triangular estate on the road to Erkner. From 1860 to 1864 he had the manor forest cut down completely. Since 1871 the owners of the estate have changed frequently. In 1873 the state bought 124 hectares of the southern Gutsforst and added them to the Köpenicker Forst . This part has been reforested and has been under the protection of the Berlin Permanent Forest Treaty since 1915 .
In 1872 the suburban tariff was introduced up to the station in Erkner and in 1877 a bridge over the Stolp Canal and a road from Kalkberge to Erkner was built through the town. As a result, Woltersdorf was better connected to the Erkner train station , which led to a further increase in excursion traffic at the lock. From 1878 the first house was built on Schleusenstrasse, and in 1883 the first house on Werderstrasse. Many residents at the lock now earned their money with the excursionists and numerous Berliners built holiday homes or houses on the Werder . In 1882 Woltersdorf got its own postal agency , a new school and lock and a horse-drawn bus line to Erkner.
On March 7, 1884, the Woltersdorf lock and the settlement on Schleusenberg were incorporated into Woltersdorf. Before that they belonged with Neu-Buchhorst to Heidedistrikt I of the Rüdersdorfer Heide. Since it was built around 1700, the lock master and from 1706 the mill master, as well as some Büdner, settled at the lock . In 1750 a tavern was set up in the mill and in 1774 the lock master Christian Gottfried Erbkam was allocated a piece of land on Schleusenberg between Buchhorster and Fangschleusenstraße that was to be used as arable and building land for colonists. Since 1852 a new house has been built almost every year on the Erbkam lease.
Also in 1884, only six months later, twelve Berliners founded the Woltersdorfer Beautification Association to improve the infrastructure and appearance of the place and thus make it more attractive for day trippers. The (honorary) members Otto Tade and Richard Zoozmann are still honored in the village today. In the next thirty years Woltersdorf experienced a golden age of excursion traffic. Here are some dates from these years:
In 1885 the Woltersdorf estate was merged with the community.
In 1886 the Beautification Association built the observation tower on the Kranichsberg and gave the source of love at the mill pond a rock enclosure.
“Woltersdorf has a complicated situation. Village, lock and Kietz are widely separated from each other and form, so to speak, three localities. ” Theodor Fontane , July 10, 1887
In 1888, the Beautification Association builds the Devil's Bridge on the Kranichsberg.
In 1889, the An der Schleuse square was paved.
In 1892 Werderstrasse is laid out and trees are planted by the Beautification Association .
In 1894 the community elects Max Staab as community leader and the Woltersdorf volunteer fire brigade is founded.
In 1895 the "Landowners Association Woltersdorf-Schleuse" was founded and the Kietz was renamed Kalkseestrasse.
In 1896, Hans Knoch had the “Kurhaus Woltersdorfer Schleuse” built.
In 1899 the Schleusenstrasse and Gartenstrasse are laid out.
In 1900 Gustav Tolzmann installed a turbine for power supply in the former mill.
The growth of the community to date has mainly focused on the village and the lock area. In 1902, the life reformer Bruno Wilhelmi bought almost all of the fields on the large field from the Woltersdorf farmers and set up a country house settlement for Berliners there. In 1904 the first house stood on the corner of Köpenicker and Fasanenstrasse. The Schönblicker also campaigned for a waterworks in the village and so from 1909 there was running water in all parts of the village.
Also in 1909 the Springeberg was incorporated. In 1762, Johann Gottlieb Hiltebrand , a resident of the Springeberg, was first mentioned. Before that, the Springeberg did not belong to a municipality, but, like the Schleusenberg, to the heath district. On August 17, 1906, however, the owners of the Springeberg Julius Schuch , Karl Kyritz , Hermann Schwand and Fritz Fatghe declared : "But now we are in agreement with the reorganization, provided that we receive a one-off compensation in cash or in land."
In 1912 Woltersdorf received its own registry office .
A good transport connection to Berlin was urgently needed for many Woltersdorfers who had work in Berlin. In 1908, for example, a footpath was laid for Schönblick from Köpenicker Straße to Wilhelmshagen train station , and the idea of building a tram arose. The original route was intended from the lock via the old village to Erkner station. The co-founder of Schönblick Heinrich Polte and community leader Max Staab campaigned for a route to Rahnsdorf train station in order to also connect the new district, and the reindeer Gustav Janke ensured secure financing. On May 17, 1913, the Woltersdorf tram began operating.
In and between the world wars
In the First World War, 83 Woltersdorfers died at the front or in the hospital. Their names are immortalized on the monument to the fallen in Schleusenstrasse. With the First World War and the subsequent recession, there was a decrease in Berlin excursion traffic to Woltersdorf an der Schleuse. More and more Berliners moved to Woltersdorf for this. Club life also became more active again, in 1919 the sports club was founded.
In the 1920s , Joe May created a location for his silent films on the shores of the Kalksee, between Kietz and Stolp . Famous films such as “ The Mistress of the World ” or “ The Indian Tomb ” were shot there. Later the film production relocated to Babelsberg , which became the new main location around Berlin. Today, remnants of the shooting can still be found near the Kalksee and an exhibition in the observation tower recalls the time "When Woltersdorf was still Hollywood". In 1921 President Friedrich Ebert visited the community to see the film city. In 1922 the last large forest area in the community, the Fuchsberge, was cut down. In 1925, today's town hall was built, and from 1926 the area west of the Eichendamm and the fallow Fuchsberge were parceled out and settled. In 1929 a general development plan was also drawn up for the northern municipal areas. The Knack field was only partially parceled out in its south, as were the meadows east of Berghofer Weg. At Kalksee, a seaside resort was built on the former site of Joe May's film town. In 1931, the new school building in Vogelsdorfer Strasse was based on plans by Albert Pietsch. In 1932 the streets in the west around the Paddenpfuhl were named after German poets and in the Fuchsberge after Swiss places.
In 1930 a local group of the NSDAP was founded in Woltersdorf, which in 1939 divided into Woltersdorf-Schleuse and Woltersdorf-Schönblick. There were repeated clashes between members of the NSDAP and the labor movement represented in Woltersdorf . As early as February 1933 there were arrests, mistreatment and torture of local communists , including in their party school in Fichtenau . The administration has been incorporated into the Nazi state and the clubs into line or smashed. The democratic headmaster Pietsch was dismissed, the beautification association was urged to merge with the tourist association. The Jewish residents were harassed and driven below value to sell their property . In 1939 there were extensive street renaming. The streets in the Fuchsberge and on Tellplatz were renamed after martyrs of National Socialism. In the Knack, the streets were given the names of areas that Germany had to cede after the First World War, in the Krähenwinkel the streets were named after fighter pilots and the seaside resort became the composer's quarter. During the Second World War, soldiers were housed in the Knoch Kurhaus. The former community representative Siegmund Gumpert was deported to Theresienstadt in June 1942 at the age of 84 and died there that same month. 1943 a shelter for bombed employees was in sticking post erected, Postsiedlung which exists to this day. Bombed out and refugees from the east were quartered everywhere in the village , causing the population to rise to almost 10,000 at times. When the Red Army approached Berlin in 1945 , the Woltersdorf Church was severely damaged by artillery fire in the last days of the war and the observation tower was blown up by the Volkssturm. On April 20, the local group leader of the NSDAP, Franz Körper, fled the village with others. On April 21, 1945 the Red Army liberated Woltersdorf. A few days after the end of the war, the operator of the "Woltersdorfer Lichtspiele", the pacifist Ferdinand Althoff, was shot by soldiers of the Red Army.
German division and reunification
Immediately after the end of the war, the streets, which were named after Nazi heroes and territorial losses, were largely renamed. From the 1960s onwards, the number of inhabitants in Woltersdorf fell. Since there was no severe war damage, open spaces or large industrial plants in the place, no prefabricated housing estates were built , such as in the industrial site of Erkner or the mining community of Rüdersdorf . In Woltersdorf, however, a few larger production companies were located. The two largest were the WEA (workshop for electric motor repair and armature winding) in Schönblick and the EMW (electromechanical workshops) on the Werder opposite the hospital. In addition there was the Woltersdorf plant of VEB Schiffsreparaturwerft Berlin and VEB Backwaren an der Schleuse. The toxins for all pharmaceutical production in the GDR were produced in Horst Gettel's snake farm . Numerous companies from all over the GDR, especially from Saxony, had their holiday homes in Woltersdorf, which is why almost as many holidaymakers stayed in the place in the summer months in addition to the 5,000 inhabitants. These holiday and bungalow settlements were located on and in the Woltersdorf lakes and forests. So in was Kranichberg the Leipzig Cotton Mill resident. In 1961/62 a new observation tower was built on the Kranichsberg with the help of Gisela Schuldt. From 1976 it was occupied by the Ministry of State Security and was closed to visitors. From 1973 to 1989 the “ Hans Marchwitza ” special school of the SED Central Committee for cultural functionaries was located in Hochstraße am Stolp .
The New Forum , the Citizens' Committee and the parish of Woltersdorf were particularly active in the peaceful revolution . They campaigned for the democratization and improvement of the municipal administration, prevented an escalation against the existing leadership and were able to save documents that documented the activities of the SED and Stasi in the area from destruction. In the post-reunification period, claims for repatriation and the closure or downsizing of local businesses led to housing shortages and unemployment. Woltersdorf also threatened to be incorporated because of its small population . An incorporation could be averted through redensification and the construction of two new residential areas. In 1994 the demos settlement in Schönblick was inaugurated and since 1998 the Lerchenfeld development area on the northern Knackfeldern has been developed. The old village was established as the historical center and the lock area was preserved as a tourist center and in 1998 the lock was completely renovated. The sports and leisure facility between Fuchsbergen and Tellplatz was opened in 2006 and a multi-purpose hall was added on August 23, 2014.
