Urban Farm DB summary

The Berlin state federation of garden friends tracing its own history. It counts roughly 40,000 'Pflanzer' in Berlin between 1890 and 1910 and places the origin of today's federation in the April 1901 union of all planter associations of Berlin and its surroundings. After a series of First World War emergency decrees capped rent increases and obliged municipalities to provide land for cultivation, the Allotment and Small-Lease Ordinance of 31 July 1919 imposed rent control, banned leasing for profit and allowed land to be secured compulsorily. On 20 October 1919 the board of Berlin's colonists voted to rename their body the central federation of German allotment associations; by 1929 the Berlin provincial federation had 66,570 members, and that year Rehberge in Wedding opened as what the page calls Germany's first permanent allotment colony.
