Qualifizierung Potsdamer Platz – Rückblick und Ausblick
Das Quartiersmanagement-Projektteam der S.T.E.R.N GmbH entwickelt derzeit ein Konzept für die mögliche Qualifizierung des Potsdamer Platzes. Ziel ist es, diesen zentralen Ort im Brandenburgischen Viertel schöner, angenehmer und für alle besser nutzbar zu machen – für Menschen, die hier wohnen, arbeiten oder einfach vorbeikommen.
In den vergangenen Wochen konnten sich viele Anwohnerinnen und Anwohner an der Planung beteiligen. Eine Online-Umfrage in zwei Phasen – vom 1. bis 30. April sowie vom 16. bis 06. Juli 2025 – wurde über die Website des Quartiersmanagements beworben und war über die Seite der Stadt Eberswalde zugänglich. Dort konnten Interessierte ihre Ideen und Wünsche zur Nutzung und möglichen Aufwertung des Platzes einbringen. Parallel dazu führte das Projektteam kurze Straßeninterviews mit Passantinnen und Passanten, beobachtete die aktuelle Nutzung des Platzes und sprach mit Fachleuten sowie Anrainern, um weitere wertvolle Perspektiven zu gewinnen.
Nach Abschluss dieser ersten Analysephase beginnt nun die Ausarbeitung des Konzepts. Dabei fließen alle bisherigen Ergebnisse aus den verschiedenen Beteiligungsformaten ein. Zusätzlich wird recherchiert, wie andere Städte vergleichbare Plätze erfolgreich neugestaltet haben, um von guten Beispielen zu lernen.
Ein besonderer Höhepunkt wird die Mitmachaktion am 2. September 2025 auf dem Potsdamer Platz sein. Gemeinsam mit dem Flohmarkt, der von 14:00 bis 18:00 Uhr stattfindet, können erste Ideen direkt vor Ort ausprobiert und besprochen werden. Alle Interessierten sind herzlich eingeladen, vorbeizukommen, mitzuwirken und ihre Ideen einzubringen.

Photo exhibition in the community centre: "Impressions from 20 years of development"

Current perspectives of people from the neighbourhood are also part of the exhibition, as residents and daycare children took part in creating the pictures for the exhibition.

Review: World record achieved - rollator chain on Potsdamer Platz in Eberswalde!
On Thursday, 19 June 2025, Potsdamer Platz in Eberswalde was full of movement, good humour and lively community! 59 people with walking frames or other mobility aids set a new world record together.
A number of stakeholders and organisations took part and created a colourful, lively atmosphere with their offerings. Potsdamer Platz thus became a place of encounters, exchange and shared experiences. The QM offered screen printing: Green fabric bags were screen-printed on site with a suitable motif - a diverse human chain. The bags were distributed free of charge to all participants and were very popular!
The QM team is delighted that Potsdamer Platz was able to host this special event.

Looking back: Bright day with culture
On 21 June 2025, what belongs together came together. Good morning Eberswalde + Bright hour with culture = Bright day with culture! Potsdamer Platz in the Brandenburg neighbourhood was transformed into a lively stage for culture, encounters and creativity. The 937th edition of Guten Morgen Eberswalde ran from 10:30 to 15:00. Visitors of all generations were able to experience a diverse musical, acrobatic, artistic, theatrical and enchanting programme.
The "Bright Day with Culture", organised by Udo Muszynski Concerts and Events, as the 5th anniversary edition of the well-known "Bright Hour" event series, offered numerous opportunities for exchange and amazement on Potsdamer Platz. Whether it was a cosy get-together or enjoying artistic and culinary performances together, the day impressively demonstrated the creative potential of the neighbourhood.
Many guests took the opportunity to get to know the Brandenburg Quarter from a completely new perspective.
Project "Growing together!"
A new place to linger, meet and exchange ideas in the middle of the neighbourhood: the first raised beds have been installed in the planned picnic area in Barnim Park. The participants in the "Growing together!" project have put their heart and soul into the project. The result is impressive! Over the winter months, the participants worked together to develop a design concept for the raised beds. Thanks to the support of Hebewerk e.V., the first raised beds were built in the organisation's well-equipped wood workshop. Almost all of them are now on site in Barnim Park and will be gradually filled and planted over the summer. The pavilion on the picnic area is intended to provide protection from the sun or rain when in use. It will be framed by the flowerbeds, so that when completed it will radiate a cosy atmosphere without restricting the view across the square or to the nearby play areas. In future, rainwater will be collected to water the beds and collected in cisterns directly next to the pavilion. When selecting the future planting, the participants will focus on native and beneficial plants. Two smaller beds will be planted with berries and herbs and will later be used for snacking and learning about the different plant species. Over the coming months, the picnic area will be transformed into a green oasis of well-being. A small team from the neighbourhood will take care of the beds. We cordially invite you to the press event to experience the picnic area in the making: Date: Wednesday, 25 June 2025 Time: 09 - 10 o'clock Location: Barnim Park, Brandenburg Quarter Eberswalde Beyond the construction site in Barnim Park, the project offers "Growing together!" Support with professional orientation and (re-)entry into the labour market. The project is funded as part of the programme "Education, business, work in the neighbourhood - BIWAQ" by the Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Building and the European Union via the European Social Fund (ESF Plus).

Volunteer Day: Volunteering in Eberswalde - Together for our city
24 May 2025 was Volunteer Day in Eberswalde - and we were there! The day was opened at 10 a.m. sharp by Ms Böttger, Mr Jahns (Barnim Uckermark Community Foundation), Ms Schmidt (Volunteer Agency) and Mr Schlüter (Eberswalde's Head of Social Affairs, Order and Culture). The paint rollers were wielded with great enthusiasm together with volunteers from the surrounding area. In Barnim Park in the Brandenburg Quarter, the previously grey seating stones were given a "colourless" makeover. To everyone's delight, the colours of the city of Eberswalde were requested and chosen. Of course, the "Ewald" colour, which we applied with stencils, was not to be missed. Between rolls and colours, there was also plenty to eat and drink. Over a cup of coffee or tea and sandwiches, we chatted, laughed and exchanged ideas. It didn't feel like work at all when we were together. At the end of the day, another wonderful place was created in our neighbourhood that invites everyone to linger. A big thank you to all the lovely people who took part - and to all those who volunteer day after day. You make Eberswalde more liveable and lovable!

Review of the open day at the community centre in the Brandenburgisches Viertel
What a wonderful day! On Friday, 9 May 2025, people celebrated, laughed, made music and talked to each other in and around the community centre in Schorfheidestraße. All in beautiful weather and an exuberant atmosphere. The occasion was the 20th anniversary of the community centre in the Brandenburgisches Viertel, in which numerous stakeholders, institutions, initiatives and residents took part.
A colourful and varied programme was offered between 11 am and 5 pm: Information stands, sporting activities, a photo exhibition, creative hands-on activities, culinary highlights, as well as music and stage performances. The community centre and the nursery grounds presented themselves from their best side and invited the many visitors to explore, linger and join in. In terms of variety and atmosphere, it was probably the biggest and liveliest festival in the neighbourhood this year - alongside the upcoming Fête de la Viertel. It was particularly nice to experience how much commitment, passion and joie de vivre there is in our neighbourhood.
A very special highlight was the ride on a crane at a height of up to 35 metres - with a breathtaking view over the roofs of the Brandenburg Quarter.
A big thank you goes to all those involved - to the contributors at the stands and activities, to the artists, to the helping hands in front of and behind the scenes and to all the visitors who contributed to the successful atmosphere with their openness and good humour.
This anniversary celebration has once again shown how much community spirit and cohesion there is in our neighbourhood - and that makes us want more.

Street art project - design of the gable wall and entrance area of the "Schwärzesee" sports hall of SV Motor Eberswalde e.V. in the Brandenburg neighbourhood
As part of a street art project, the gable wall of the "Schwärzesee" sports hall of SV Motor Eberswalde e.V. in the direction of Potsdamer Allee and the wall at the entrance area of the hall are to be redesigned.
Where: Potsdamer Allee 37, 16227 Eberswalde
Tel: 03334 212703
Fax: 03334 4297123
Motivated, creative and interested graffiti/street art artists who are also willing to work with children and young people in a participatory format are being sought to realise this project. The following project components are to be realised:
- Preparation of the facades of the aforementioned sports hall in order to be able to implement long-lasting graffiti that enhances the hall and the immediate surroundings.
- Design of the gable wall with an own artistic work, in coordination with the owner, the neighbourhood management, representatives of the administration and the spokespersons' council of the Brandenburgisches Viertel.
- Design of the side area of the hall with the participation of children and young people, which will be realised in the form of graffiti workshops. The exact size of the group needs to be clarified. Children and young people from the Brandenburg neighbourhood are the main target group.
The façade on Potsdamer Allee (gable end) has an area of approx. 251 m². The side area with the entrance to the hall has an area of approx. 189 m².
The implementation period starts in June 2025 and ends in October 2025 at the latest. A coordination phase with the owner, the neighbourhood management and representatives of the administration on the graphics will take place in May/early June. If approved and selected, active implementation can start in June 2025, after the spokespersons' council meeting. The entire graffiti project should be completed by October 2025. For further information on the design ideas, framework conditions and required documents, please contact the neighbourhood management team
If you are interested, please send us the required documents until 30 April 2025 under quartiersmanagement@eberswalde.de to.
We look forward to your offer and your ideas!
Sauberswalde
One day before the city of Eberswalde's official spring clean, the "Sauberswalde" rubbish collection campaign took place in the Brandenburg neighbourhood. Many hard-working hands from the "Schwärzesee" primary school, the "Gestiefelter Kater" daycare centre and the "Arche Noah" daycare centre, together with the forest ranger Florian Manns and the BBV parent-child centre, unfortunately found plenty of rubbish in the nearby forest and throughout the district.
Some local residents also responded to the call. Together, pavements, parks and public spaces were cleared of rubbish. Afterwards, all those who helped gathered at the Club am Wald, where two environmental educators from Kreiswerke Barnim offered small games on the topic of waste separation. Everyone enjoyed a cosy end to the day in the sunshine and a shared lunch.
The event was a complete success and shows how important it is to take responsibility for the environment at an early age. A big thank you therefore goes to all the hard-working hands, big and small, and the organisations that supported this campaign.

Christmas market in the Brandenburg neighbourhood
This year's 20th Christmas market in the Brandenburg Quarter was a highlight and attracted numerous visitors from near and far. Guests were able to immerse themselves in a festive atmosphere characterised by the enchanting lighting, lovingly decorated stalls and Christmas music. The market offered a wide range of products, from handmade gifts and homemade Advent wreaths to culinary delights, as well as numerous children's attractions such as a carousel, Christmas tree bowling and, of course, making wishes directly to Father Christmas. Of course, the traditional stollen cutting by our mayor, Mr Götz Hermann, was also a must.
The laser show for the 20th anniversary brought a sparkle to everyone's eyes, but above all the sparkle in the children's eyes is and remains, as every year, the highlight of the pre-Christmas period.
With this in mind, we would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of this Christmas market - whether by visiting, helping or organising. A big thank you naturally goes to all those involved. This year, these included: Bäckerei Wiese, Kreisverkehrswacht, Galerie Fenster, SV Motor Eberswalde, Buckow e.V., SPI, MAD's self-help group, Dietrich Bonhoeffer Haus, Projekt Imkern im Quartier, Muggels Stübchen, Kontakt e.V., Jugendclub Stino, AWO, Büro Blau, ChrissCo's, Welcome Centre, Club am Wald, Grillmeister, the singer Anne Fraune and the Handpan Percussion Duo.

Sauberswalde
On Saturday, 21 September 2024, it was time again: Sauberswalde took place as part of World Clean Up Day. We also tackled the Brandenburg neighbourhood together and ensured a clean environment. In bright sunshine, we collected everything that didn't belong in nature from 10 a.m. together with Büro Blau, the Stadtfüchse, the Berufsbildungsverein Eberswalde-Wohnverbund and many committed residents.
After the work was done, there was a well-earned refreshment at the stand of Kontakt e.V. and the Welcome Centre Eberswalde. And for anyone who still had energy left, there was the opportunity to stroll around the flea market, visit the photo exhibition "The Brandenburg neighbourhood from your perspective" and vote or find out more about the exciting "Beekeeping in the neighbourhood" project.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped out on this day! Special thanks also go to the Wiese bakery for the delicious bread rolls!
