history

In 1962, the city of Bochum acquired the site of the Bruchstrasse colliery from Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG , which closed the colliery specifically for the settlement of Works II / III, and sold it on to the automobile manufacturer. The purchase price for the colliery was DM 1.4 million, the compensation for the early closure to GBAG was another DM 11 million.

Plant II was used to manufacture components, Plant III to sell components.

Plant II - TÜV Nord Bildung Opel GmbH

Plant II was essentially built on an area that was previously not used for industrial purposes; previously there was only a weather shaft from the Bruchstrasse colliery on the site. Plant II opened in 1962 with the production of aggregates for the Opel Kadett A .

In 2000, engine plant II was first spun off into the joint venture GM-Fiat Powertrain - later GM Powertrain - and engine production was discontinued in 2004; In 2004, 180 employees were still working in exhaust production. Axle production ended in summer 2011. The last remaining gear production (gear type F13) with around 300 employees was discontinued on October 7, 2013, and production in Plant II ended. The Opel vocational training remains in cooperation with TÜV Nord with 200 trainees on the site, which still has its own (closed) class II landfill at the northeastern end .

The most recent outsourcing was the formation of a joint venture (joint operation) between TÜV Nord Bildung and Opel. Opel has a 20% stake in this joint operation.

The following courses can be learned in Bochum: electronic technician for plant and plant engineering, industrial mechanic , merchant for office communication , machinist , mechatronics and cooperative engineering education (KIA). Every year forty apprentices are hired by Adam Opel AG and 35 apprenticeship positions are taken by association partners and TÜV Nord .

Adam Opel AG Vocational Training was finally closed on February 1, 2017 and the building was transferred to Perspective 2022. The training center will serve the integration of refugees and was cut off from the factory premises. The building can only be reached via Somborner Straße.

Plant III parts and distribution center - '' Opel Group Warehousing GmbH ''

Plant III was essentially built on the main premises of the Bruchstrasse colliery with coal extraction and processing, the buildings of which were laid down before the new plant was built. It started operations in 1965 as a parts and distribution center.

In 2006 the plant was spun off as a goods distribution center with around 200,000 m² of storage space and operated by the US company Caterpillar, and later Neovia. In 2013 420 employees worked there.

As of January 1, 2016, the 700 employees at Neovia Services GmbH in Opel Plant III were transferred to the newly founded Opel Group Warehousing GmbH, a wholly owned Opel subsidiary. With this, Opel took over the dispatch of spare parts itself again on the whole European continent. Opel also built a new goods distribution center for 60 million euros in the former transmission plant (Plant II) in Langendreer.

Overall development

At peak times, around 20,000 people found work in Plants I, II and III, and in 2003 around 10,800 people. In 2011, the Opel works in Bochum employed a total of around 5,170 people. The discontinuation of automobile production in Bochum in 2016 should cut around 3,000 jobs.
