RIXDORF

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 388 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RIXDORF , a town of Germany, lying immediately
south
  of Berlin, of which it practically forms a suburb, though retaining its own civic administration. Pop. (188o) 18,729; (1895) 59,495; (1905) 153,650. It is connected with the metropolis by a railway (Ring-bahn) and by an electric tramway. It contains no public buildings of any
interest
 , and is almost entirely occupied by a large industrial and artisan
population
 , engaged in the manufacture of linoleum, furniture,
cloth
 , pianos, beer, soap, &c.
Rixdorf is chiefly interesting as a
foundation
  of Moravian Brethren from Bohemia, who settled here in 1737 under the
protection
  of King Frederick William I.
German
  Rixdorf, which is now united with Bohemian Rixdorf, was a much more ancient
place
 , and appears as Richardsdorf in 1630 and as Riegenstorp in 1435. Before 1435 it belonged to the order of the Knights of St John.
