Niederschöneweide (German pronunciation:[ˈniːdərˈʃøːnəˈvaɪ̯də]ⓘ, literallyLower Schöneweide) is a Germanlocality (Ortsteil) within the Berlin borough (Bezirk) ofTreptow-Köpenick. It is, withOberschöneweide (Upper Schöneweide), part of the geographic quarter ofSchöneweide. Until 2001 it was part of the former borough ofTreptow.
First mentioned in 1598 asSchöne Weyde, it became an autonomous municipality in 1850, growing as an industrial town at the end of 19th century. In 1920 it merged into Berlin with the "Greater Berlin Act".
From 1938, the local battery factory used Jews asforced labourers, and later alsoFrench prisoners of war and Soviet civilians, and in 1944–1945 it housed a subcamp of theSachsenhausen concentration camp for 500 mostly Polish and Belgian women.[2]
Between 1949 and 1990 it was part ofEast Berlin, and new residential complexes were established atOberspree. All the industries on the territory were converted intoVolkseigener Betrieb (VEB), the state-owned enterprises.[3] In 1994, afterGerman reunification, it started a plan for a redevelopment of many contaminated grounds on many areas, inheritance of theheavy industrial era. They must be cleared away and detoxified with high costs.[4]
Located in the south-eastern side of the city and crossed by the riverSpree, Niederschöneweide borders with the localities ofOberschöneweide,Plänterwald,Baumschulenweg,Johannisthal,Adlershof andKöpenick. A bit of the urban parksKöllnische Heide, situated in Adlershof, belongs to the quarter.
