Französisch Buchholz

The northern locality extends across residential areas with multistory buildings, individual houses, and several parks at an elevation of 46 meters.

The settlement, first documented in 1242, became a French colony in 1685 when Huguenot families established themselves following the Edict of Potsdam.

The old village church, constructed from fieldstone blocks during the second half of the 13th century, remains a protected historical monument.

The locality connects to Berlin's transportation network through the S8 S-Bahn line, tram line 50, and multiple exits from the A10 Berliner Beltway.

French Huguenot settlers introduced new plant species to the area, including green beans, cauliflower, and various culinary herbs in the 17th century.
