Dallgow-Döberitz is amunicipality in theHavelland district, inBrandenburg, in easternGermany.
It consists of the villages of Dallgow-Döberitz, Rohrbeck andSeeburg. To the east it shares border with theSpandauborough ofBerlin. Neighbouring Brandenburg municipalities areFalkensee in the north andWustermark in the west. In the south is the large formerproving groundDöberitzer Heide, now mainly anature reserve governed bythe Heinz Sielmann Foundation.
TheImperial German Army established amilitary training area in 1894 around the village ofDöberitz, which had to beabandoned by its inhabitants. Its pioneering airfield was, in late 1915, the place where the world's first practical all-metal aircraft, theJunkers J 1, made its pioneering flights.
During the1936 Summer Olympics in neighboringBerlin, it hosted the riding part of themodern pentathlon and part of theequestrian eventing competitions.[3]
DuringWorld War II, Döberitz was the location of a subcamp of theSachsenhausen concentration camp for French, Polish, Soviet, and possibly Belgian prisoners.[4]
Between 1945 and 1951 Dallgow served as East German border crossing for cars travelling alongF 5 between theSoviet Zone of occupation in Germany (till 1949, thereafter the EastGerman Democratic Republic) or theBritish Zone of Occupation (till 1949) and thereafter the West GermanFederal Republic of Germany andWest Berlin. The traffic was subject to theInterzonal traffic regulations. After the East GermanVolkspolizei took control ofWest-Staaken on 1 February 1951 the checkpoint was moved eastwards.
The municipality shared its borders with the former West Berlin, and so during the period 1961-1990 it was separated from it by theBerlin Wall.
The 2008 filmThe Wave was filmed at theMarie Curie Gymnasium in this municipality.
