Karow (Berlin)

Berlin -Karow [ ka ː ro ː ] is a district in the borough of Pankow. Karow was mentioned as a village for the first time in 1375 in a document. The incorporation at the Greater Berlin in 1920, the rural community had only 949 inhabitants. Its village character it has retained despite brisk settlement activity in the years before the Second World War until today. Through a large enclosed building project in the north Karows (1992-1996), the population again rose sharply. Karow is very different in its population and settlement structure, so that a homogeneous district has not yet been developed.

History

As yet there is no archaeological findings from the late Slavonic time is assumed that Karow was created around 1230, perhaps even in the late 1220s " of wild root " as -built village. The village church Karow was built in 1250. Was mentioned in a document Karow ( Kare ) in 1244 for the first time indirectly by Fridericus de Kare. In the Land Book of Charles IV ( 1375 ) was recorded with 42 Kare hooves, four parish hooves and six knights hooves, as well as a pitcher. The Knights hooves had originally received from Gröben as a fief of the Marquises of Brandenburg. From the vassal service they had ransomed himself and sold the Knights hooves on the Kare, a council family from Berlin, as after a fief. That the family Kare was mentioned as " de Kare " is not explained from aristocratic origin, but that they sit " in Kare " come " from Kare ". The Margrave had except the service carts all rights sold at the village, so many owners received as vassals of the Marquis of the remaining 32 charges hooves. Were the latest in 1572 by Robel to book held by the Court with 4 ½ feet.

The center of Karow is on the road Alt-Karow. Next to the church, the old school building and the Municipal House, there are still numerous farmhouses dating from the 19th century.

With construction of the station Karow the place received 1882 railway terminal on the train to Berlin and Stettin in the opposite direction to Bernau. The outer portions Karows originated largely in the 1920s and 1930s, especially around the S-Bahn station in the northwest. There were almost exclusively small settlement houses on land to the partial self-sufficiency.

In the former sewage farms in the north, and on some wet meadows in the southern and eastern parts of the district developed from 1992 to 1996, many single and multi- family houses, multi-storey apartment blocks partly. There were also more kindergartens, schools, a church community center, shops, restaurants and a central business center with weekly market. The old citizens Karows call the settlement often Neu- Karow, which they express a certain distance from the modern, more urban -style appearance of the settlement.
