Day of the Open Monument: Historical City Hall Friedrichshagen in focus

insights into history: Day of the Open Monument in the town hall of Friedrichshagen on September 8th, 2024

The day of the open monument is not only a festival for those interested in history, but also a significant opportunity to strengthen the community. On September 8, 2024, the historic town hall Friedrichshagen opens its doors to the public from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The event not only promises insights into the impressive architecture, but also into the exciting history of the building and the community.

The town hall was built in 1899 as a symbolic center for the emerging community of Friedrichshagen. This place was originally a quiet rural community that hid behind the big city of Berlin. Over time, Friedrichshagen developed into an important spa and business location, which is clearly reflected in the representative facade and the once magnificent interior of the town hall.

Interestingly, the town hall experienced numerous changes during its history that influenced its original identity. According to the administrative reform for the creation of Groß-Berlin, Friedrichshagen lost many of his self-administration rights and thus also part of the municipal identity. In the following decades, the building was converted several times, which ultimately led to a loss of its original splendor. Conspasted murals and modern lighting systems made the once so majestic interior.

Today, after a comprehensive restoration by a committed limited partnership since 2011, the town hall is new. It now pursues its original provision again to "serve the benefit of the citizens". The private owners actively campaign for social and cultural projects, which makes the building a living part of the community. Visitors can use the newly designed premises not only for advisory services based on social institutions, but also to experience various events, including celebrations and cultural events.

The day of the open monument should not only present the history of the town hall, but also to call the citizens to actively participate in the preservation of this inheritance. "Human" contemporary witnesses from the period after 1920 are particularly in demand, which can share valuable memories and photos. Contact with the organizers is possible via the specified email address, where a meeting point is also set up on the opening day to have discussions.
