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

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 neighbourhood 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!
