history
Originally shaped by Slavic colonization, the Havelland became a part of the so-called eastern colonization in the 12th / 13th centuries. Century conquered by Albrecht the Bear , who also had a fortification built in Wustermark - first mentioned in 1212 -.
Wustermark developed into a traffic junction on the trade routes between Berlin and Brandenburg. Therefore, the place had a post office as early as the 17th century and in 1871 received the Wustermark train station, one of the first stops on the Berlin – Lehrte railway line . In 1909 the Wustermark marshalling yard opened east of the town in today's Elstal district , and for many years it was one of the most important freight transport hubs in the Berlin area.
The current community was formed in the course of the community reform in 2003 from the previously independent communities Buchow-Karpzow, Elstal , Hoppenrade, Priort and Wustermark of the Wustermark office .

Olympic village for the 1936 Summer Games
In the neighboring village of Dallgow, the Olympic village was built between 1934 and 1936 , which today is largely only preserved as a ruin and was added to the neighboring municipality of Elstal as part of the regional reform in the 1990s, under the protest of the Dallgower municipal council . Elstal was incorporated into Wustermark in 2002, since then the Olympic village has also been located in the Wustermark area. Wustermark now has the Olympic rings in its coat of arms. The site with all its properties is owned by the DKB Foundation for Social Commitment, which endeavors to preserve it and to use it in a contemporary manner. In recent years, among other things, the house where Jesse Owens lived during the Games has been reconstructed.
The Olympic village consisted of a reception building, around 140 residential buildings, a large dining house, the Hindenburghaus , the commandant's house, a sports hall, a swimming pool, a sauna, and a doctor's and hospital. It also had its own waterworks, a thermal power station with an attached laundry and its own sewage treatment plant. The "Speisehaus der Nations" consisted of 38 dining rooms on three floors, each of which served a nation to eat and socialize. In the Hindenburghaus there were sports and exercise rooms and a wide range of entertainment events: theater and film screenings as well as the first live broadcasts of selected competitions on television, which was still experimental at the time.
The largest remaining buildings on the site are the dining house of the nations (catering and community center), the former swimming pool and some team quarters. The gym is in good condition. At the Olympic Games in 1936, the modern pentathlon with riding was opened on the neighboring military training area Döberitz . The 100 km cycle race around the military training area and the military equestrian battles were also held in the Döberitzer Heide area. Immediately after the end of the Summer Olympics, the area was handed over to the Wehrmacht for further use , which had already acted as the client. For example, the elliptically shaped dining house of the nations designed by Werner March was converted into a hospital with an attached air crank operation.
After 1945 the Red Army took over the site and carried out extensive restructuring. Among other things, the former athletes' houses were provided with lateral outside chimneys, as the original district heating obviously could not be repaired. Furthermore, numerous visual axes of the naturally designed area, which is grouped around a central village meadow and a forest lake (now largely silted up), were blocked by prefabricated buildings into which the soldiers housed in the athletes' houses moved. The abandoned buildings were either walled up or demolished.
Despite all efforts to at least secure the current stock of buildings, both the roof structure of the swimming pool and the log cabin of the Finnish sauna at Waldsee - the first to be built in Germany - have fallen victim to youth arson. Only the foundation remained of the stilt house of the log house; the swimming pool survived, but is closed due to the damage caused by the building authorities.
The area of the Olympic village is now a listed building and is open to visitors from April 1st to October 31st. Guided tours, which also include a visit to selected buildings, take place on the weekends and by appointment. The annual sport-historical meeting deserves special mention, which takes place every year on the evening before the opening of the ISTAF (International Stadium Festival in Berlin's Olympic Stadium ) and attracts - in addition to thousands of visitors - numerous prominent athletes from the past and present.
