4.3 Information about Berlin-Buch
The Buch you encounter today began as a little village in the region Barnim more than 600
years ago and was owned by the dukes of Röbell and Voss. They had their castle right in the
center of Buch of which the church, the park and the farmhouse still exist. The turn of the 20 th
century brought decisive changes. The Berlin Magistrate as the new owner built the biggest
hospital complex with more than 5000 beds. The city's head of town planning, Ludwig
Hoffmann, was responsible for Buch's unique architectural features.
To provide living room to the steadily increasing population the so-called "Kolonie Buch"
was constructed at the same time. Now you can find the "Röbellweg" there. This is now one
of the best housing areas in Buch. After the incorporation in 1920 Berliners tired of the city
center moved to the idyllic surroundings. In 1967 the construction of bigger living colonies
started. Today, Buch has almost 14,000 inhabitants – almost twice as many as in 1945 and
four times as many as at the turn of the century.
The district may be well known mainly for its good medical care, but Buch has more to offer:
from the reconstructed castle church to the Bucher Forest. You find some hints for shopping,
medical care, education, restaurants, culture and sports etc. that may be interesting and useful
for you at http://www.berlin-buch-gesundheitsregion.de or
