Who gave Hobrechtsfelde its name?
James Hobrecht (1825 - 1902) was a Prussian urban planner and was responsible for the first perspective development plan for Berlin. From 1885, as a city councilor, he organized Berlin's urban drainage system based on the model of London and Paris in cooperation with Rudolf Virchow and his brother, who was Mayor of Berlin at the time. In Berlin, Hobrecht is commemorated with commemorative plaques. Terms such as pumping station and radial system belonged to this modern drainage system, which was a world leader.
