Geography
Situated in the western side Märkisch-Oderland, Hönow borders the city of Berlin (district of Marzahn-Hellersdorf). Its territory is detached from the rest of municipal area by a strip belonging to Berlin. Since October 2003 it merged in the municipality of Hoppegarten and a small section of it was ceded to Berlin in 1990.
Hönow is divided into 4 zones: Hönow-Dorf, Hönow-Nord, Hönow-Siedlungserweiterung and Hönow-West. Hönow-Dorf represents the middle of the village
History
Formerly Hönow was settled by the Slavs. In the 13th century Johann I and Otto III built a settlement at this place, which was mentioned first in the landbook of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor. The village was destroyed in the Hussite Wars and in the Thirty Years' War, at the beginning of the 17th century. The castle of Hönow was damaged in the Second World War and does not exist anymore. The only old building which has survived in Hönow is the old Romanesque church.
