Feuerland

As Tierra del Fuego in the vernacular middle of the 19th century described the industrial nucleus of Berlin. She lay on Oranienburger suburb in today's district of Mitte.

In the area northeast of the Oranienburger Tor, between the highway road, the Berlin tariff wall ( along the present Torstraße ), Orchard Street and Liesenstrasse on the border with fresh spring, most of the operations of the emerging metal and engineering industries settled.

• In 1804, the Royal Prussian iron foundry production was taken up in the disability road.
• In 1826 Franz Anton Egells moved on with his iron foundry and engineering works in Chausseestraße 3/4, later extended to 5/6.
• As of 1837, the August Borsig in Chausseestraße 1-3 its production.
• 1839 Friedrich Adolf plow began in Chausseestraße 7-9.
• Opened in 1842 Johann Friedrich Ludwig Wöhlert an " iron foundry and engineering works " in Chausseestraße 29

1847 were in this narrow area 33 metal processing companies with over 3000 employees located. 1852 still followed the " Iron Foundry and Machine Works " by Robert Louis Victor Schwartzkopff.

Since all of these commercial inserting a lot of fire for the production and moved large amounts of smoke from the various chimneys in the sky, this area came to the already forgotten again today called " Land of Fire ".

These metal- processing companies ceased their production or moved up in the 1880s to the then outskirts: first in Berlin- Moabit, in a second wave after 1900 continue to Spandau or Reinickendorf ( Borsigwalde ). Today only the street name as Borsigstraße, Plough Road, Schwartzkopffstraße or Wöhlert street and individual building reminiscent of that era. An information board at the road corner Tieckstraße is dedicated to the Tierra del Fuego.
