History

When the railway Berlin-Hamburg was opened on December 12, 1846, the area of Finkenkrug was a deserted landscape with rich arable fields interspersed with forest. Toward Dyrotz and the Königsgraben (kings ditch, also Russians ditch) the landscape transferred into an alder bush landscape with agricultural cultivated fields that belonged to the manor Seegefeld. Unpaved roads were in the north the "Nauener Straße" from Falkenhagen and the "Finkenkruger Straße" from Seegefeld, that in a westbound curve of the current "Hohlbeinstr." ended in the "Rohrbecker Weg". Toward the west in old maps of the 18th century the "Dyrotzer Weg" is marked.
