City structure [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Until 1937 the island was on Land sheath path divided into a northern Hamburg and a southern Prussian part.

As a distinction, the Hamburg part-like all Hamburg Elbin islands-was written with A-bylaut, i.e. Finkenwärder The southern part kept its name, which was valid for the whole island from 1937.

The Elbinsel Finkenwerder (see also: Werder) was created by breaking the island of Gorieswerder in several storm surges between 1192 and 1236, as well as in the all -child flood in 1248. It was the westernmost of the islands newly formed by the water inserts and was first documented in 1236 Vinkenwerder mentioned. The name goes back to the bird species of the Finken, which were caught here in large quantities and as early as 1594 to a protection regulation that Finkfänger Order , led by the City of Hamburg Council. According to this, no bird trap networks were allowed to be set up between March 26 and June 26. ^[first]After the severe storm surge of February 1962, both in the west to Neuenfelde and in the east to Dradenau, land connections were created through the dike construction, so that the district is actually no longer an island.

Finkenwerder was along the Finkenwerder Landscheidewegen divided. The northern part has been Hamburg since 1445 and had the status of a suburb since 1919. The southern part belonged to the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg until 1814, until 1866 to the Kingdom of Hanover and then to Prussia. This division of Finkenwerders had an impact during the Cholera epidemic in Hamburg at the end of the 19th century when it was forbidden to travel to the southern part of the island to the residents of the Hamburg side on the death penalty. Nevertheless, many came from the northern part to take part in the Protestant service in the church, which is located directly behind the land sheath on the Lüneburg side.

Half -timbered house from 1817 am Auedeich

Already in the 13th/14th Century began with the integration, which was only completed at the beginning of the 17th century. In 1801, the Hamburg Councilor for the Wilhelm Amsinck area issued Die Disputes for the Finkenwerder dike system , which led to a significant improvement in the safety of storm floods in the Hamburg part (the southern part was hardly affected by storm surges anyway). As a result, the population of both districts rose strongly and the dike crown between Steendiek and Auedeich was built on with the houses, some of which are still there today. While fishermen were mainly based in the northeast, the rest of the island was managed by fruit growers.

In the 1920s, the development plan for the area between the German shipyard and the old Auesiedlung, which was created in 1918, was drawn up under chief building director Fritz Schumacher. There are mostly brick buildings in the brick style typical of the then Hamburg. They form today’s town center with shops.

From 1941 to 1944, Fink II was built on the site of the German shipyard. U-boats were built and repaired here. Today the Bunkerruin monument is located there.

In October 1944, more than 600 prisoners from the Soviet Union, from Poland, Belgium, France and Denmark were housed in a Neuengamme concentration camp on the shipyard area. They had to work as a welder, locksmith and electricians in shipbuilding and do cleaning up on the site.

The Old Süderelbe Was echoed in the summer of 1962 west of Finkenwerder.

The Evangelical Lutheran St. Nikolai Church On the Landscheideweg: For the Lüneburg southern part of the island of Finkenwerder, the presence of a church building is first attested in 1436. The first pastor mentioned by name was Otto Tyndal (Tinsdahl) in 1439. Around 1542 the Reformation was introduced to Finkenwerder. In 1617 the second church was inaugurated and four years later, in 1621, the church association of the populations of the Lüneburg southern part and the Hamburg northern part of the island was inaugurated. Until then, the inhabitants of the Hamburg northern part were incorporated into the church in Nienstedten, on the north bank of the Elbe. The Norderelbel, on which large container ships now run the port of Hamburg, was still a little navigable river arm in the 17th century, which almost fell in dry summers and could be crossed on wooden walkways. Due to severe construction defects, the third church was inaugurated in 1756 and in 1881.

In 1918 the island’s largest employer was founded with the German Werft AG. It was originally a joint venture between the Hapag shipping company with the Gutehoffnungshütte and AEG. According to an idea of the architect Peter Behrens, the workers’ and Werkmeister settlement was built by factory architects. The project planned on Finkenwerder explains a supervisory board protocol of July 3, 1919:

In order to remedy the housing shortage to Finkenwerder, it is proposed to build on the construction area on the Norder-Elbdeich with a 60 m wide strip of shipyard and, with the supply of a strip of the state of 30 m wide, row houses in the construction proposed by Peter Behrens, to be erected, If possible, the construction of 84 houses, consisting of a kitchen and 2 – 3 living rooms, basement, accessories and stable, should be started this year. Each house receives about 230 m² of garden land. Depending on the size, the construction price of the houses is estimated with M. 18,000 – 22,000, of which around M. 6,000 will be to be raised; The rest is said to be requested as an overdowation of the Reich and the State of Hamburg. The approximately 500,000 m. ^[3]

The “August Pahl” shipyard formerly employed more than 150 shipyards. Among them locksmiths, welders, machine locksmiths, carpenters, electricians. “August Pahl” also trained apprentices (skilled workers) in the professions until the 1970s.

It developed via Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm and Dasa to today’s Airbus Group, whose subsidiary Airbus is currently the structural and final assembly for passenger aircraft A318, A319, A320 and A321, the partial assembly of the A330 and A350 as well as the paint, interior design and delivery the A380 performs in Finkenwerder. ^[4]

Factory premises

fishing [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The Finkenwerder cutter port has played an important role in the development of the place. Before industrialization, fishing was the main source of income for the residents in the old fishing village. Until the 1880s, the two-masted sea fish was the typical vehicle. Winter fishing was lost. Many ships were lost, often with the entire crew. ^[5]The fishing cutters and fish steamer with the ID HF identification were common guests in all ports of the North Sea and the European North Sea. Finkenwerder Scholle (also “Finkenwerder bacony” or “Finkenwerder cutter floe”) is a well -known fish dish.
