In a document from the year 1336 the place Falkenhagen was mentioned for the first time.

The distinctive Falkenhagener church and the adjoining former school building characterize the eastern townscape. Until 1923 the village Falkenhagen existed. In the same year, the community Falkensee was born. Falkenhagen was beside Seegefeld one of the two villages, which were put together to the new large municipality Falkensee. Even today clearly recognizable in the stem: from FALKENhagen and SEEgefeld was on 1 April 1923, the large community FALKENSEE.

Church Falkenhagen

The first mention of a church can be traced back to the 14th century. After a great fire in 1675, the parish built a new church on the remaining foundations in a five-year construction period. The weathervane on the top of the church tower dates back to 1680. The Protestant church, once with a pulpit altar, was later remodeled inside. The painter and graphic artist Franz Haferland from Falkensee was commissioned in 1960 to create a contemporary altarpiece

former schoolhouse

The schoolhouse built in 1897 in the immediate vicinity of the church now houses the "Creative Center - Haus am Anger". In the GDR until 1985, the former Polytechnic High School "Maxim Gorki" was taught.

Monument to the fallen of the First World War

The Monument to the Fallen of the First World War (1914-1918) was inaugurated in 1925. The stonemason H. Kubetschek from Falkensee had built according to their own designs, the monument of Silesian granite and Franconian shell limestone.

town hall

The town hall was built in different phases. The first part was built in 1918 by the construction company Gustav Fischer from Falkenhagen. It is the eastern part of the building. Due to the rapid growth of the community, it became necessary to expand the town hall in a second phase. In 1928, according to the plans of Paul Überholz, the extension with a town hall tower and boardroom followed.

Opposite the town hall are located on the former Anger monuments of a turbulent history.

Memorial dedicated to the Battle of Leipzig

In 1913, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the decisive battle of the wars of liberation in October 1813, the monument "In honor of the Battle of Leipzig 1813" in the presence of the full-time community leader of the community Falkenhagen, Ernst Freimuth, inaugurated. Local associations donated the monument.

becoming a city

A large boulder carries the inscription "Falkensee 7.10.1961". The foundling with the adjacent oak is reminiscent of the city of Falkensee on October 7, 1961. Until that time, the community Falkensee was considered the largest rural community in Europe.

Monument to the victims of fascism

The most recent monument is dedicated to the victims of fascism. Only on 8 May 1983 was it inaugurated in the presence of Bruno Schultz, a survivor of the concentration camp Falkensee.
