We are happy to tell you our story

Farm work in the 1930s

The vegetable garden is now the car park

from 1889

The ancestors of our family have left their mark in and around Waltersdorf for many generations. Over 100 years ago, the area was largely agricultural and felt far removed from Berlin. At that time, our great-great-grandfather founded this farm in 1889, laying the foundation for the livelihood of future generations.

Farm work around 1945

from 1949

Until 1954, the Damm family managed the farm and the associated land on their own. The typical three-sided farm included the residential building as well as stables, barns and the threshing floor. In addition to the family, the farm also provided for farmhands and maids, and during World War II, for French prisoners of war.

In the 1950s, the collectivisation of agriculture also made its way to Waltersdorf. Many Waltersdorf farmers fled to West Germany during this time and left their homes and farms. So in 1954, my husband's uncle also left his home. The remaining family members here faced punishment for what was deemed a "defection from the Republic". Within a few hours, all the residents of the house had to leave their own land. This form of pressure achieved its intended effect after two years. The uncle returned home from the West. The family was allowed to take over the battered farm again.

However, from now on nothing was the same as before. The entire farm (except for the house) was used by the cooperative. The barns housed foreign livestock, and the farm was used by strangers. Our grandparents were only tolerated on their own farm and had no decision-making power. The proceeds from the use of the land flowed into the coffers of the Agricultural Production Cooperative (LPG).

Residential building around 1950

The carpentry workshop of the ZBO, now a parking garage

from 1960

In the early 1960s, animal husbandry was discontinued, and the LPG set up the ZBO (Central Construction Organisation) on our farm. The ZBO built a large hall on the back property and a large shed on the land that still belonged to the Damm family. A joinery moved into the hall, and the shed was used as shelter for materials and vehicles.

The barn was used as a truck garage, while the threshing floor and potato cellar served as storage for tyres and tools. A petrol station and a concrete lorry ramp were built in the vegetable garden.

The office building today

LPG garages in around 1970, now a renovated office building

from 1989

The LPG garages, built in around 1970, are now used as a renovated office building.

The 9th of November 1989, four weeks after the birth of my daughter, changed everything in our lives.

From 1990 onwards, there was no longer an LPG or ZBO, and we were free to decide how to use the farm. In 1992, the former stable building was completely redesigned and transformed into a very nice office building in the old style. Since 1993, our company, dam. Fenster + Türen Vertriebs GmbH, has been operating from this building. The hall of the former joinery was renovated, and from 1993 to 1999, windows and doors made of plastic and aluminium were manufactured there. Only the outbuildings and the large garden did not find a proper use until 2005.

2005

By founding the family business Mein-Parken.de, the hall and the former garden were given a new use. There were no comparable business models in our area at the time. The need for affordable parking in Schönefeld was, however, huge. Therefore, creativity and tireless commitment from all family members and employees was required.

2010 to 2012

During this time, we made continuous and careful investments that significantly improved both the efficiency of our operations and the well-being of our guests. Each of these investments was another step towards providing a better service and a more comfortable experience for our customers. A significant milestone in this development was the construction of our new parking service lounge, which we launched in 2012. This lounge represents the culmination of our efforts to offer our guests the highest level of comfort and amenities. It was specially designed to make their stay as pleasant as possible while they wait for their transfer to the airport.
