The Ruhr near Alstaden

The former municipality of Alstaden an der Ruhr , mostly Alstaden for short ([ ˈalʃtaːdn̩ ], in the local dialect also [ ˈalʃtaːn ]), in Low German Alsten ([ ˈalʃteːn ], [ ˈalstn̩ ]), is a place in the western Ruhr area and is now part of the urban district City of Oberhausen in North Rhine-Westphalia . With 18,051 inhabitants at the end of 2017 on an area of ​​3.85 km², Alstaden is the most populous district of Oberhausen.

Nowadays Alstaden is mainly characterized by loose residential developments with local trade, green spaces and areas for local recreation on the banks of the Ruhr. The diverse building structures are a special feature. In addition to the high "complaint activity" of the Alstaden residents, the extraordinary identification of the residents with their district is typical of Alstaden.

geography

Location and area

Alstaden is the southernmost district of Oberhausen and is located in the southwest of the Alt-Oberhausen district . It is the only Oberhausen district on the banks of the Ruhr , in which Alstaden has a 1.8 km share. The branch of the Ruhr that flows near Alstaden is often called the Old Ruhr or Kleines Strömchen , in contrast to the Ruhr Shipping Canal in Mülheim.

To the north, the Oberhausen-Duisburg-Ruhrort railway forms the border to Lirich-Süd ; to the northeast, the Duisburg – Dortmund railway and the border road form the border to Alt-Oberhausen . In the east, the Bogenstraße forms the border between Alstaden and the Oberhausen part of Styrum , before the Landwehr road takes over in the southeast. Alstaden borders the Mülheim district of Styrum to the south-east and south , separated by the Rechenacker street and the Duisburg-Mülheim-Styrum railway line . In the west, Obermeidericher Strasse initially forms the border between Alstaden and Meiderich and Duisburg-Dümpten , before this is taken over by the A3 motorway . The Ruhr separates the district in the southwest of Speldorf .

The westernmost point of Alstaden is in the Ruhr meadows west of the Old Ruhr, the northernmost point is at the end of Erftstrasse. The easternmost point is the Landwehr / Rechenacker intersection, while the southernmost point is where the Duisburg – Mülheim-Styrum railway crosses the Ruhr. This is also the southernmost point of the city of Oberhausen.

At 25 m above sea level, the bank of the Ruhr forms the lowest point in Alstad.

Types of use of the area

On December 31, 2009 the cadastral area of the district in the district development concept of the city of Oberhausen was 338 ha. The deviation of this value from the official information (385 ha) can be explained by the demarcation: parts of the east of Alstadt are assigned to the area Oberhausen-Mitte / Associated with Styrum .
Of the 338 ha, 168 ha (49.8%) were used for living space, 10 ha (3.1%) were used economically. 14 hectares (4.1%) are among the mixed construction areas and special areas. 17 ha (4.9%) were used for traffic. 35.5% of the area (120 ha) consisted of forest, water areas, agricultural areas, parks and green spaces.

The average population density is 4672 inhabitants per km².

history

Pre-industrial phase

A settlement of Alstaden in prehistoric times has not yet been proven by archaeological finds, Mesolithic remains have been found in Lirich in the valley of the Emscher , Neolithic remains north of Alstaden in the area of ​​the Lipper Heide .

Settlement in Germanic times has not yet been proven for the Alstaden area either, the closest Germanic settlement areas have been found in Lirich and Meiderich.

Alstaden's location on the Ruhr and its topography shaped the development of the village in the pre-industrial phase: Near the river were the Ruhr floodplains, a fertile floodplain that was suitable for cattle breeding and rose to a low terrace that was flood-free and consisted of good arable land . At the edge of the lower terrace to the Ruhraue, in the area of ​​today's Kewerstraße and Speldorfer Straße, the earliest settlement center arose, a row of farms similar to a street village. The fact that this settlement already had its origins in Franconian times is often claimed in the literature, but has not yet been proven. There is also no evidence of its mention in a Werden land register around 1200. The earliest record about Alstaden dates back to 1393, when the “Höffkenscheidts Gut” farm was sold to the Sterkrade monastery . The St. Gereon Monastery in Cologne also owned land in Alstaden. From the court files, some Alstaden court owners are handed down as lay judges at the court in Mülheim around 1400: Gerhard Schriver 1385, Hermann Scheper 1401, Sweder van Alstaden 1407 and Hermann van Alstaden 1432 In 1550 the Reformation was carried out in Alstaden as part of the Broich rule, and the residents had to accept the reformed faith.

In later times, a second settlement core formed northwest on the edge of the heath area north of Alstaden, on the maps of the 17th and 18th centuries a clear distinction is still made between the village of Alstaden and the village of Heiderhöfen , which is roughly along today's streets Heiderhöfen , Flockenfeld and Lickenberg lay. The name "Heiderhöfen" was still used in 1907 to name the western part of Alstaden.

In this first phase of the village's development, Alstaden was purely agricultural. This changed from around 1800, in 1791 the first Alstaden boatman was mentioned, with the growing importance of Ruhr shipping, which reached its peak from 1840 to 1855, when up to a hundred barges passed Alstaden every day. In 1840 almost 400 coal freighters sailed the lower Ruhr, employing around 1500 shipmen and around 250 grooms with around 500 horses. More and more boatmen, shipyard owners - at times there were three shipyards for Ruhr barges - barge owners and ship carpenters settled down, so that on the eve of industrialization, a mixed structure of agriculture, handicrafts and transport arose in Alstaden. The street name Schifferstrasse still reminds of this heyday of Ruhr shipping .

In the late Middle Ages and the early modern period, Alstaden belonged to the Broich rule , which belonged to the county of Berg as a subordinate rule , so Alstaden was the north-western tip of the county. The directory of the Mülheimer Höfe around 1556 lists 12 farms for the Alstaden community, which the Lords of Broich were obliged to serve. In the “Rauchhühnerverzeichnis der Herrschaft Broich” from 1648, 32 households are listed for Alstaden that have to pay taxes to the Lords of Broich. Thirty Alstadener Höfe or Kotten are listed in the "Subject Roll" from 1672. The "Watch and Service Money Register" from 1750 lists 38 households for the Alstaden community. More precise figures about the population are available for the year 1812, at that time there were 280 people in Alstaden, 15 of whom belonged to the Catholic denomination, 259 were Reformed and 6 were Lutherans; 141 were male, 139 female. The municipality of Alstaden, which belongs to the mayor's office of Mülheim, had 383 inhabitants in 1822 and 733 in 1847.

Administrative history

The old town hall

With the French occupation of the Rhineland, the old administrative structures were dissolved, which is why, by Napoleon's decree of November 14, 1808, the Arrondissement Essen was founded within the Département Rhein , which existed until 1813. After the Congress of Vienna , Alstaden was assigned to the Essen district on April 23, 1816 as part of the Mülheim an der Ruhr mayor , which was merged with the Dinslaken district to form the new Duisburg district on September 27, 1823 . According to the municipal code for the Rhine province , Alstaden and Heiderhöfen received the status of a separate municipality in 1845. In 1857 the rural communities, including Alstaden, were separated from the Mülheim mayor and part of the Mülheim-Land mayor. In connection with the establishment of the Oberhausen mayor's office in 1862, Alstaden, like the communities of Styrum and Dümpten, had to cede to Oberhausen an approximately one kilometer wide northern edge strip consisting of heather. These three communities, Alstaden, Styrum and Dümpten, formed the mayor's office of Styrum from 1878 onwards. When, in accordance with the order of the Prussian King of July 14, 1903, the municipality of Mülheim and several rural communities were combined to form the urban district of Mülheim an der Ruhr, Alstaden remained part of the now heavily shrunk district of Mülheim an der Ruhr, along with Heißen and Dümpten.

In this context, Alstaden, which had previously belonged to the mayor's office of Styrum, became its own mayor, and on January 6, 1904, Ludolf Kewer became the first and only mayor of Alstaden (1904-1910). After Alstaden was incorporated into the city of Oberhausen on April 1, 1910, Kewer held the office of First Alderman of the City of Oberhausen, but on January 1, 1911, he retired for health reasons. He died at the age of 66 on November 18, 1923 in Münster. To honor him, a street in Oberhausen-Alstaden that was called Wilhelmstrasse until 1910 was renamed Kewerstrasse .

In 1929 - parallel to the amalgamation of Oberhausen, Sterkrade and Osterfeld to form the urban district of Groß-Oberhausen and parallel to the merging of parts of the Sterkrader districts of Biefang and Holten to Hamborn - parts of the Duisburg district of Meiderich were separated and merged with Oberhausen. These were houses on the eastern side of Obermeidericher Strasse, which from then on belonged to the Alstaden district. Also since 1929, part of the Alstadener Heide, which was amalgamated in 1862, has again belonged to the Alstaden district, namely the piece between Alstadener Straße and the Oberhausen – Duisburg-Ruhrort railway line.

industrialization

Alstaden colliery

Protego cover over the former shaft 3 of the Alstaden colliery

The Alstaden colliery shaped the industrialization process in Alstaden . After coal was found for the first time in Alstaden in 1851, Albert de Gruyter and Belgian investors founded the “Mülheimer Bergbau-Kommanditgesellschaft Albert de Gruyter & Co” in 1855, and the work began, not least because of water ingress from the nearby Ruhr - lasted until 1858 when the colliery produced the first coal. In the same year a coal railway was built on which horse-drawn carts brought the coal to a loading point on the Ruhr. In 1869 the previous owners dissolved their company and founded the "Alstaden, Actien-Gesellschaft für Bergbau". The sinking work for the “Alstaden 2” shaft began in 1870 about 800 meters north-west of the previous shaft, but regular extraction was not started until 1875. In 1904 the mining company Hibernia AG took over the "Alstaden, Aktiengesellschaft für Bergbau" and on July 1st, shaft 1 was closed and only used as a weather shaft. In the same year, Hibernia built a briquette factory next to shaft 2.

Monument to the Alstaden colliery

While the workforce at the colliery consisted of 253 miners in 1860, the number doubled within five years and between 1865 and 1885 the number of employees was usually just over 500. From 1885 the number of employees rose rapidly until 1900 and in 1900 reached 1,196, the highest level before the First World War. From 1900 to 1913 the workforce was usually just over 1,000. In parallel with the increasing number of employees, coal production rose from 41,000 tons in 1860 to 295,000 tons in 1913. However, this increase was not linear, and sales crises led to significant losses in production at times. In 1933, the new shaft 3 on the site of shaft 2 began mining and in 1936, despite a relatively small headframe, took over the entire mining of the mine.

Due to the exclusive promotion of anthracite coal and the briquette factory, the Alstaden colliery was specialized as a domestic fire colliery and therefore survived the coal crisis of the 50s and 60s at Hibernia AG. In 1968 it was incorporated into Ruhrkohle AG and closed in 1973.

Concordia colliery

The Concordia colliery was almost as important as the Alstaden colliery for the development of the Alstaden community , and will not be discussed in detail in this context because the mine was located directly outside the community boundary in the Oberhausen area. A large part of the workforce lived in Alstaden: Of the 1159 miners living in Alstaden in 1893, 648 worked at the Alstaden colliery, 492 at the Concordia colliery, seven other miners worked at the Oberhausen colliery and twelve more at the Roland colliery .

Brickworks

The brick industry, which existed from the second half of the 19th century until the First World War, was of great importance for Alstaden. Millions of stones for trade were produced from the clay soils of the lower terrace in the numerous field fires. The so-called Plug , working columns from Holland, who came to Alstaden every year for the “Tigeltid” (brick age) and worked in the brickworks, played an important role . In 1902, the Alstaden colliery also built its own brick kiln, which gave the impetus for upgrading the primitive field fires to ring kilns suitable for mass production. In the first decade of the twentieth century, the customers of the Alstadener Steine ​​included the Gutehoffnungshütte , the Concordia colliery, the railways and numerous building contractors; A large part of the Oberhausen factories were built from Alstaden bricks.

Labor movement in Alstaden

One of the first major miners' strikes in the Ruhr area took place in 1869 at the Alstaden colliery. In connection with the strike at Essen's Victoria Mathias colliery , there were several meetings and rallies of the General German Workers' Association (ADAV) in the Mülheim area, such as a meeting attended by 600 workers on October 4, 1868. In January 1869, the ADAV authorized representative for Oberhausen A. Erdmann at a miners' meeting in Alstaden that an eight-hour shift should be enforced. As a result, a third of the workforce at the Alstaden colliery stopped work on January 19, 1869 and only drove in after the works management had granted their request. After the other two thirds of the workforce also demanded an eight-hour shift, this was rejected, whereupon the entire workforce of 400 miners went on strike on January 21, 1869. Since the colliery administration had to meet its delivery obligations, it bought coal from the neighboring colliery Roland, which prompted the miners of the colliery Roland to strike from January 27, 1869 in solidarity with their Alstaden colleagues. Because of the delaying tactics of the mine owners and the lack of financial support for the striking miners, the strike at the Roland colliery crumbled from February 9, 1869. On February 20, 1869 negotiations took place between the mine owners and the strike committee of the Alstaden colliery, and it became clear that the strike had failed. The strike committee succeeded in ensuring that only two members of the strike committee were dismissed, but none of the other miners had to fear any reprisals.

Association before 1914

The most important associations were initially of denominational origin. As early as 1882 there was the St. Marien-Knappenverein for the Catholic miners working on the Alstaden colliery. A Catholic workers' association was founded in 1897.

On the Protestant side, there was initially the "Men and Youth Association", which built its clubhouse on today's Flügelstrasse, and in 1899 the "Evangelical Men Association Alstaden" was added.

The Alstadeners, who come from the Polish-speaking provinces of Prussia, also organized themselves into associations. In 1900 there were three Polish associations in Alstaden: “St. Georg Verein "(46 members), a choral society with 28 members and the" St. Peter and Paul Association ”(24 members). So around 1900 about 1% of the population was organized in Polish-speaking associations.

Population development

In the course of industrialization, the population of the previously agricultural village of Alstaden grew considerably. While the number of inhabitants was 2,675 in 1867, it rose to 3,110 by 1871, of whom 1,179 were born in Alstaden. After a significant increase in population from 1871 to 1875 to 4,034 inhabitants, the number of inhabitants stagnated in the following five years and the community had 4,095 inhabitants in 1880, just 61 more than in 1875. With the slowly beginning phase of high industrialization, the population increased from 4,707 in 1885 to 5,727 in 1890, corresponding to an average annual population increase of 3.91%. The rural community of Alstaden comprised 352 hectares in 1885, of which 158 hectares (= 44.89%) were used for agriculture in 1885, there were 426 residential buildings in which there were 888 households, i.e. 2.08 households per residential building. At that time Alstaden was a predominantly Protestant community: 56.92% Evangelicals versus 42.57% Catholics. In 1895 the population was 7,078 and in 1900 9,606, of which 5,162 were male and 4,444 female.

Comment on the table: data from censuses are available for 1812 and from 1871, for the latter data the reference date is December 1st of the respective census year; the data were taken from the respective volumes of the statistics of the German Reich . The other data before 1871 are estimates by the Mülheim district office.

The largest employer in Alstaden was the Alstaden colliery, which in 1893 had a workforce of 910 workers, 266 of whom came from the Polish-speaking eastern provinces of Prussia, mainly from Silesia: 228 of the 266. While the share of workers from the Prussian eastern provinces stagnated until 1912 , from 1900 onwards there was also an increasing number of workers recruited abroad (1912 = 119); these workers mainly came from Holland (57) and Italy (35).

Reichstag elections in Alstaden

The leading political force in Alstaden until the 1890s was the National Liberal Party , which - except for 1869 and 1907 - was always able to win the Reichstag constituency. The role of the Catholic-oriented Center Party grew steadily with the influx of Catholic residents and from 1898 onwards reached approximately the strength of the National Liberal Party in Alstaden.

With the entry into force of the Socialist Law in 1878 and the reprisals against social-democratic-minded workers, which also began on the part of employers, social democracy no longer played an important role in Alstaden. In the election of a substitute for the Reichstag on February 27, 1879, the Social Democratic candidate Wilhelm Hasenclever did not receive a single vote in the municipality of Alstaden. In the Reichstag elections in 1884 and 1887, too, the Social Democrats received less than ten votes; the SPD did not become the leading political force until 1903, with 50.1% of the valid votes cast.

From the Reichstag election in 1903, the Polish party also ran in the constituency, but remained relatively insignificant in Alstaden with 4.4% and in 1907 with 7.1% of the valid votes cast.

In the Reichstag elections in 1907, the Social Democrats in the Düsseldorf constituency 6 won the election for the second time since 1869. In Alstaden, the national liberal candidate received 24.9% of the vote, the center candidate 23.8% and the social democratic candidate 44.2% in the first ballot.

Alstaden saltwater pool

In shaft 1 a salty spring was found in 1872, which was given the name "Quelle Klara" by the Mining Authority, but which was initially no longer used. At the end of 1883, a salty spring with a temperature of 26 ° was found in shaft 2 at a depth of about 300 meters, which was given the name "Quelle Karl". The mine management had the spring water analyzed and it was found that it was one of the springs richest in iodine in Germany, whereupon Hibernia AG secured the rights to the “Karl” and “Karla” salt mines. Citizens of Alstaden founded the “Kinderheilanstalt Alstaden” association to help children from poor families who suffered from skin diseases. A spa was planned on today's “Solbadstrasse”. In the summer of 1884, the operation of a brine bath in the rooms of the “Gesellschaft Recreation” began operating on a makeshift basis. The children's brine bath was opened in 1889 and the number of children treated in the brine bath over a period of several weeks rose from 52 in 1889 to 567 in 1908. A total of about 6,000 children were in cure during the existence of the brine bath in Alstaden. In addition, there were other healing applications, which rose to more than 12,000 per year. Because of the very cramped location of the Alstaden brine bath and the limited possibilities, the decision was made to relocate the brine bath to Speldorf, and on May 15, 1909, the Raffelberg brine bath opened . Until the Alstaden colliery was closed, the Raffelberg salt bath was supplied with brine via a pipeline from the Alstaden colliery.

Place name

Map of County Mark , 1681

The village of Alstaden is mentioned in the Werdener Urbar 1200 as Alstedon . The origin of the name is not clear, the - not undisputed - meaning "old place" is often mentioned. The name later developed into Alsteden . In 1575 a court case for the Nedenhof in Alstede is mentioned, which presumably also relates to Alstaden. In a map of the county of Mark from 1681, the place between Styron and Meyerick is called Aldstein .

The first "e" in Alsteden was replaced by an "a" for the first time in 1715 on the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , this map shows the "village without a church" Alstade as the northernmost tip of the Duchy of Berg . On the map of the Broich rule from 1790 the village appears as Altstade , a map of the Rhenish-Westphalian industrial area around 1830 from the “Lange-Diercke Saxon School Atlas” shows Altstaden ; in the topographical survey of the Rhineland (between 1801 and 1828) the place Alstaden is mentioned. By 1894 at the latest, Mülheim Alstaden is recorded on a measuring table ; The contracted form Alsten is seldom heard among older Alstadeners .

Street names

Many street names in Alstaden are derived - as elsewhere - from old hallway names, residential area names , or courtyards and cottages. The peculiarity of the Alstadener street names is that a good part of its no ending to -Straße , route of or plaza has, such as Heider farms , flocks field or Kallen . In addition, many of these names are derived from Low German ( Kiwittenberg , Brögel , Stubbenbaum ). Some names also emphasize some Alstadeners - unusual for High German ears - on the last syllable ( Breitenbruch , Lickenberg ); some Alstaden residents also say that they don't live in the street, but on the street ( “on Charlottenstrasse” , “on Stelte” ).

A detailed listing of all Alstaden street names can be found in the list of streets in Alstaden .

religion

In Alstaden there is the Evangelical Community of Alstaden, which belongs to the Emmaus parish of Oberhausen in the Oberhausen parish of the Rhenish Regional Church . Most of the Catholics belong to the parish of St. Antonius Alstaden with the St. Peter branch, which is part of the parish Herz Jesu Oberhausen in the Ruhr diocese of Essen . A few streets in the east of Alstaden are in the area of ​​the neighboring parish of St. Joseph Styrum, which is also part of the parish Herz Jesu.

Furthermore, there are a few Muslim residents who belong to the mosque communities of various providers in the vicinity of Alstaden, as well as some Jewish Alstadeners who belong to the liberal Jewish community of Oberhausen or the Jewish community of Duisburg-Mülheim / Ruhr-Oberhausen .

Alstaden was one of the last areas in the Ruhr area to be Christianized . For a long time there were many ecclesiastical properties in the village, but never had a church of its own because it did not belong to the surrounding monasteries ( Essen Abbey , Werden Abbey ). The closest churches were the Petrikirche in Mülheim and, for the residents of Heiderhöfen, those in Meiderich. Around 1591 the Reformation took hold in the Broich rulership , to which Alstaden also belonged. Since then, Alstaden has been predominantly Protestant.

Evangelical parish

Beginnings

The Evangelical Church of Alstaden

According to the administrative affiliation, the evangelical population of Alstadens since the Reformation belonged to the parish of Mülheim, but because of the great distance to Mülheim some of the residents who lived in the Heiderhöfe attended Sunday services in the church in Meiderich. Initially, the club house built by the “Evangelical Men and Youth Association” on the Flügelstrasse was the center of Protestant community life, but shortly after it was built, the Alstaden Protestants demanded their own church and community. So in 1891 the church building association and in 1899 the "Evangelical men's association Alstaden" were founded. From the spring of 1901, divine services every fortnight in the hall of the Wolsbeck restaurant under the direction of the then head teacher König. According to the decree of the “Royal Consistory of the Rhine Province” of October 1, 1901, the Alstadener received their own parish and the right to set up a parish.

On February 26, 1902, Friedrich Fohrmann was elected as the first pastor in Alstaden, who held this office until 1910. In addition to the preaching services, the pastor's duties included serving the casualia and religious instruction at the Protestant elementary school. The inauguration of the Evangelical Church in Alstaden followed in 1905.

time of the nationalsocialism

During the period of National Socialism were in the presbytery election 1933 Alstaden only the list of German Christians , the supporters of Nazism to choose from, therefore put all presbytery members. Hugo Döll, the local group leader of the NSDAP , was therefore the new church master . Pastor Schuster, however, was on the side of the Confessing Church , the opposition around Martin Niemöller . A dismissal of Döll after tensions between him and Pastor Schuster failed due to the resistance of the Evangelical Consistory . In February 1934 four of the presbyters sided with the Confessing Church. On Death Sunday 1934, tension between the two parties escalated. After the presbytery was dissolved, the community of Alstaden threatened to leave the Rhenish regional church , so that Döll gave in and gave up his office as church master. In 1936 Pastor Schuster retired. The next few years consisted of the conflict between German Christians and the Confessing Church. The Confessing Congregation of Alstaden called Richard Sauerbier as their own pastor to Alstaden, while the German Christians under Pastor Friedrich Schmitz and the community church committee carried out services, confirmation classes and events. Although the parish church committee was nominally the only legal body in Alstaden, the presbytery was able to prevent Schmitz from being appointed pastor.

Thereupon the consistory tried in July 1940 to pass the presbytery to appoint a pastor in Alstaden, who, after several unsuccessful attempts at preaching, left in January 1941 with resignation. As a result, the consistory gave in and officially installed Richard Sauerbier as pastor of Alstaden in April 1942. Sauerbier died on April 8, 1945 as a result of an injury from an artillery shell in the Ruhr area , and a short time later Alstaden was liberated by the Allies .

History after 1945

Large parts of the church were destroyed in the Second World War. In May and June 1945, the rubble was cleared from the building and the church was given a roof again. In 1946 the municipality rented buildings from the Alstaden colliery, in which the Rolandshof kindergarten was set up. New choir windows were also installed in 1950. One year later the Alstaden Evangelical Youth Home was inaugurated, and the new parish hall was completed in 1956. In 1961, at the urging of the regional church, the new rectory east was built.

In 1967 the Evangelical Church in Alstaden became a sermon church as part of an interior renovation , since then the altar has stood on the long side. A year later, the west parsonage was rebuilt , also at the insistence of the regional church. In 1974, in addition to the previous parishes West and East, with the introduction of Pastor Purba, the Mitte district was created . The Rolandshof kindergarten was given up in 1976 and the community erected a new building on Stubbenbaum, which was given the name Karibu Sana ( Swahili for warm welcome ) due to the partnership with the community of Mbwashi in Tanzania .

In 2001 Pastor Schrooten left the parish and his position was not filled. Therefore, the Mitte district is dissolved and its area reassigned to the West and East districts . On July 1, 2007, the Ev. Parish Alstaden with the Paulus parish in Lirich and the Ev. Parish of Buschhausen to Ev. Emmaus parish of Oberhausen together. The Alstaden area has about 5000 members and is divided into two parishes, each with a pastor. However, the north of Alstaden from Alstadener Strasse already belongs to the Lirich municipality.

Catholic parish

After the Reformation there was initially no longer a Catholic community in Alstaden. Since the Count of Styrum and his subjects remained Catholic, the Count's castle church was the only Catholic church in the Mülheim area for a long time. In 1809 only 12 Catholic residents lived in Alstaden, until 1860 the number rose to 874 due to industrialization and the associated influx of people. In 1864 a makeshift building was built in Styrum that served as the Catholic church for Styrum, Alstaden and Dümpten, which in 1889 was separated from the Mülheim parish as the parish of St. Joseph Styrum .

St. Antonius with St. Hildegard

The cath. Antonius Church

With the Antonius School, a Catholic school was built in Alstaden as early as 1875, but the village fought for a long time for its own church. The St. Marien-Knappenverein , founded on May 7, 1882, tried to set up its own parish in Alstaden. Farmer Albert Müller gave the community the building site preferred by the Vicariate General on Treibweg , today's Bebelstraße. On July 11, 1896, the foundation stone was laid for the construction of the Antonius Church , which was consecrated on September 21, 1897. Andreas Jacquorie became the first priest in Alstaden, still only as rector to St. Antonius, who was subordinate to the Styrum parish of St. Joseph.

On December 20, 1903, the Archbishop of Cologne finally elevated the Alstaden parish to an independent parish and Joseph Hammels , who later became Auxiliary Bishop of Cologne, was appointed to his office, which he held until 1912. Mutton brought religious sisters to Alstaden, had the Bernardushaus, today's parish hall, and the kindergarten built.

In 1969, under Pastor Franz Düsterhus, the subsidiary church of St. Hildegard at the Ruhrpark was built in the southern part of Alstadt as a branch church of the parish of St. Antonius.

St. Peter

The cath. Peterskirche

In 1889, the northern part of the parish of St. Joseph was established as a parish, which three years later, under the opposition of Pastor Heyden von St. Joseph, was elevated to the parish Herz Jesu Oberhausen. The western part now became a separate parish, which was called the Heidebezirk . The St. Petri Church Building Association was founded as early as 1909. Between 1916 and 1918 the church of St. Petri Heide was built under Pastor Löbbel and consecrated on June 30, 1918 by Auxiliary Bishop Lausberg. By 1920 the number of Catholics in the branch community increased so much that the Archbishop of Cologne raised the heath district to a separate parish under the name of St. Peter Alstaden on August 1st with the introduction of the first pastor Franz Krüger .

In 1922 the rectory was built, into which the poor sisters of St. Francis moved in 1924 , which is why it was converted into a monastery. In addition, an old people's home and a large kindergarten were built. During the Second World War, the parish buildings suffered little damage. It was decided in 1954 to build a youth home. In 1969 the nuns were called back from the mother house in St. Peter and left the parish. The monastery was converted into a residential building and still exists today with the bell tower, it is colloquially called the Small Monastery . Since then, the youth home has also served as a parish home. Since 1972 the church has been home to the Polish and Italian congregations in Oberhausen.

Restructuring of the parishes in the Ruhr diocese

In the course of the restructuring of the parishes in the diocese of Essen, St. Hildegard was desecrated on August 12, 2007 and demolished a year later. St. Peter and St. Antonius were merged to form the large parish of St. Antonius Alstaden, which has formed the parish of Herz Jesu since April 22, 2007 together with the Styrum St.Joseph parish and the Herz-Jesu parish in Oberhausen-Mitte.

According to the will of the then Ruhr Bishop Felix Genn "due to its location and the size of the local community", the Antoniuskirche should remain a central place for community life.

The Polish congregation is still at home in St. Peter, while the Italian congregation has its seat in the Antonius Church. Both parish homes and parish offices have been preserved, so that the large parish now has two centers. The municipality extends to the north, in the old heather district, a bit beyond the local limits from Alstaden to Lirich-Süd. Since October 2017 it has been clear that in the course of further restructuring ("parish development process") the Peterplatz location will be completely given up in favor of the Antoniuskirche in the center of Alstaden. The Antonius Congregation has about 7,640 members. There is an above-average number of baptisms, first communions and weddings here.

graveyard

In Alstaden is the municipal cemetery Alstaden, which was established in 1905 through donations from citizens and is one of the five Oberhausen cemeteries in municipal ownership. Its closure has already been prevented three times by citizen protests in 1985, 1987 and 2005.

A special feature of the Alstaden cemetery is that - although it is a municipal cemetery of the city of Oberhausen - only Alstaden citizens are allowed to be buried in the cemetery to this day. Exceptions can be made in the case of family reunification.

coat of arms

Coat of arms awarded by the Alstadener Bürgerring

Alstaden does not have an official coat of arms . The former official seal of the Alstaden mayor only showed the imperial eagle as a symbol.

Instead, the district was awarded a coat of arms designed by Eva Pfohl on behalf of the Alstadener Bürgerring in 2004, which is entered in the German coat of arms . The coat of arms description reads: "Within a border made of black and silver 18-fold under a split silver shield head, in front a black farmer with a black field plow, behind the crossed, black mountain hammers, in green on a silver wavy ribbon a floating silver swan with wings spreading." Colors, black and silver refer to the history of Alstaden. The farmer with plow is a reminder of the settlement by Franconian farmers in the 5th century. Mallets and irons represent the former coal mining industry . The swan and the wave bar symbolize the Ruhr floodplains and the location on the Ruhr.

Culture and sights

Buildings

Churches

Alstaden is characterized by three historicist churches . The foundation stone of St. Antonius was laid on July 11, 1896, the consecration on September 21, 1897. The church was built as a three - aisled neo - Romanesque basilica and rebuilt in 1949 after severe damage in the Second World War. The red brick building is dominated by arched windows in the upper storey, arched friezes on the west side and arched arcades on the inside . The choir is designed as a five-eighth closing. A four-storey church tower with blind niches, round arch frieze and pyramid roof rises in the southwest . The Antonius Church in Alstaden is known nationwide for its church windows, which have been designed by the artist Hildegard Bienen in collaboration with the pastor Reiner Sulliga since 1978 .
The new Romanesque parsonage Franziskushaus (Antoniusplatz 5) was built at the Antoniuskirche as early as 1898 , and is now a Caritas dormitory for disabled people. In 1905, under Pastor Hammels, an equally neo-Romanesque ensemble of buildings was built that contained the facilities of the community. In addition to the parish hall and the church, on which the ensemble is oriented, the two chaplains - today the building of the St. Antonius library (Antoniusplatz 14) and the Italian community in the diocese of Essen (Antoniusplatz 9) - as well as the Bernardushaus , his own Name received from the St. John's sisters of Maria Königin for unclear reasons , who originally had their monastery there. It now serves as a community hall.

St. Peter was built from 1916 to 1918 and was restored in 1952. The three-aisled, plastered basilica has light-colored walls and dividing elements. The windows of the upper aisle are quadrilateral , the windows in the lower zone are arched with keystones . The transverse rectangular choir ends in a semicircular east apse made of red brick. The two slender west towers have a conical roof . Two transepts in the east of the long sides give the impression of a building complex on a cross-shaped floor plan. The windows in the choir and in the side aisles were designed by Prelate Johannes Geulen.

The Evangelical Church of Alstaden was built as a hall church in 1902–1904 . The four-story tower on the southeast corner with stone triangular gables is closed off by a rhombus helmet. Pilasters divide the long sides, the triplet windows of which are divided into two zones. A gable roof bent in the south covers the nave, which has a semicircular east end with a conical roof. The interior of the nave was converted into a sermon church as part of an interior renovation in 1967 , by moving the pulpit to the long wall and arranging the church pews in a semicircle around the altar and pulpit.

Other buildings

The Lindermannshof

The Antonius School was built in 1875 as a denominational Catholic school and is now part of the Alstaden secondary school. The two-storey monument made of red brick with a crooked roof and gables is illuminated through rectangular windows.

Another architectural monument is the former Kiepens Hof , a gable-independent brick building with a gable roof and rectangular windows, which is said to have been built in 1800. Predecessor buildings of the Kiepenshof already existed in the middle of the 16th century in the Heiderhöfen settlement. The Kiepenshof is the only Alstadener Hof that is listed as "free property" in a list of the Broich rulership; In the early days it served as a place for baptisms and burials in Alstaden, later the Kiepen farmers often appear as elders or senior men for Alstaden.

The Lindermannshof on Kewerstraße, which is also a listed building, has been preserved in the old settlement core of Alstaden . It is mentioned for the first time in 1472 in a list of the St. Gereon Monastery in Cologne and had to pay taxes to the Fronhof of the Bockum Monastery in Wittlaer . The farm was later known as the Weinhaus before it was recently given the name Lindermannshof . Farmer Lindermann was an alderman of Alstadens. When the current building was erected is unknown, it now serves as a residential building.

There is also an old half-timbered house on Speldorfer Straße, which is also a listed building.

Green spaces and recreation

The southern part of the lake in the Alstaden biotope

Mining monument in the Ruhrpark

In the Alstaden district there are some green spaces that serve the residents as a recreational area . In the south are the Ruhrpark and the Solbadhalde, in the southwest the Alstaden biotope , which merges into the Ruhr meadows at the Alstadener Ruhrbogen.

The Ruhrpark is a 15  hectare park in the style of an English garden , the southern part of which borders the dike of the Ruhr. There are several monuments in the Ruhrpark, including a memorial for those who fell in the world wars, a memorial for Friedrich Ludwig Jahn , after whom the large meadow of the Ruhrpark Jahnwiese is named, and half of the conveyor wheel of the Alstaden colliery to commemorate the last coal mining in 1972.

The Alstaden biotope is located on the former site of the waste dump on the Ruhrufer of the Alstaden colliery , which burned from 1982 to 1993. This happened through self-ignition of the residual coal in the tailings pile due to heat build-up. Depending on the extent of the smoldering fires , the fire took place without any externally visible flames, but these fires could lead to more or less, sometimes clearly visible, smoke emissions. Because of this pollution for the residents, the dump was removed down to one meter below the water table. The groundwater collected in the resulting crater and formed small, connected lakes. The banks of the lakes are now densely overgrown and difficult to access, which is why special animal and plant species have settled. The circular path of the biotope goes over to the Alstadener Ruhrdeich and the paths in the Ruhrauen.

To the north of the biotope is the field of the last farmer in Alstaden, farmer Flocken, after whose ancestors the street Flockenfeld is named.

The Solbadhalde is actually called Halde Alstaden and is also an overburden mountain of the Alstaden colliery, which reaches a height of around 35 meters above sea level and is therefore a good five meters higher than the surrounding area. The dump cannot be recognized as such, as it is now densely forested. There is also a circular route here.

Sports

Several sports clubs have their home in Alstaden. At football clubs there is the Fvg. Schwarz-Weiß Alstaden , which played in the Association League Niederrhein , the highest German amateur class, until 1967 and has one of the largest youth departments in the area, as well as the SG Hibernia Alstaden. Since 1976 there has also been FC Fortuna Alstaden, which disbanded on March 10, 2015. Until 2012, SC Rot-Weiß Oberhausen had its office next to the Landwehr Stadium in Alstaden, which was also used for RWO games before the Niederrhein Stadium was built. After the office moved to the Niederrhein Stadium, the Landwehr Stadium was also given up. A new housing estate is currently being built on its site.

Other sports are also well represented in Alstaden: TuS Alstaden offers tennis, handball, badminton and gymnastics, among other things; it is one of the largest sports clubs in Oberhausen. Other clubs include the Billardfreunde Alstaden, the TC Babcock (tennis), the TSV Alstaden (table tennis), the MRC Alstaden-Oberhausen (model racing), Schwalbe Alstaden (pigeon fancier club), the PV Wasserbummler (canoeing) and the Alstadener Kanu -Club , which was originally founded as the canoe department of SC Rot-Weiß Oberhausen and is still one of the most successful canoe clubs in Germany. The AKC clubhouse is located at the biotope, the club trains on the Ruhr.

With the club houses of the SW Alstaden and the TuS Alstaden as well as a soccer field and several halls, there has been a sports center in Alstaden at the Kuhle sports complex since 1929. Another sports center is located on Solbadstrasse with the halls of TSV Alstaden and the soccer field of SG Hibernia Alstaden.

Bürgerring Alstaden

Flowering cherry trees planted by the Bürgerring on Hiberniastraße

In 1950 the Alstaden Garden Culture Ring was founded, which, under chairman Matthias Hendricks, successfully campaigned for the recultivation of the Ruhrpark, which had been converted into a field during the war years. The garden culture ring quickly took on other tasks in the district and therefore renamed itself in 1953 to "Bürgerring Oberhausen-Alstaden 1950 eV", which has been campaigning for the interests of the Alstaden citizens ever since. The aim of the Bürgerring is to improve the quality of life in Alstad and to research and pass on the local history of the district. Matthias Hendricks gave up the office of chairman in 1966; Matthias-Hendricks-Weg in Alstaden is named after him today .

Hendricks successor was Konrad Thiel. During his tenure, the Bürgerring set up several monuments and planted cherry trees along many of Alstaden's streets. From 1984 to 2012, Marianne Vier led the Bürgerring, which at the end of 2014 was awarded the First Class Cross of Merit of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for her commitment . Among other things, the Bürgerring campaigned against the closure of the Alstaden cemetery, against camping in the Ruhrpark at the Mülheim Reggae Festival, for better traffic management and a clean Ruhrpark. From 2012 to 2017, Jens Kassen was chairman of the Bürgerring, since then it has been Peter Klunk who has also been the presbyter of the Evangelical Emmaus Church Community for the Alstaden area.

The Bürgerring campaigned in vain against the construction of a wind turbine by the city of Mülheim (under the name Energiepark Styrumer Ruhrbogen ) on the landfill on Kolkerhofweg on the opposite side of the Ruhr. At the end of March 2015, he started a collection of signatures against the wind turbines, because it was feared that infrasound , rotor noise, flashing effects and shadows would have a strong impact on the local recreation area Biotop and Ruhrwiesen and the surrounding residential areas. In 2016, the “Bürgerinitiative Ruhraue”, consisting of residents of Alstaden, Speldorfer, Styrumer and Duisserner, was founded in the district and was supported by the SPD's Oberhausen-West local association . The Düsseldorf Administrative Court, however, dismissed a lawsuit from residents of Alstaden, supported by Bürgerring and BI Ruhraue, against the building permit process. The wind turbine with a total height of 148 meters, a rotor diameter of 92 meters and a nominal output of 2.3 megawatts went into operation on March 31, 2018

Regular events

Alstaden has few regular events due to its location close to the city centers of Oberhausen, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Duisburg as well as the Centro, and there is no district festival.

The annual events include the Alstadener Musiktage, a festival with pop singers, Tanzgarden and other music groups, which has been held every year since 2009 at the tennis oasis on Alsterfeld or on the sports field on Solbadstrasse.

The carnival association Wagaschei (Alstadener KG Green-Red Wagaschei) directed since 1978 annually on Shrove Monday a Veedelszug by Alstaden from which one of the smallest parades of the Ruhr.
The Wagaschei carnival procession is called “Pöstertreck” (from Low German pöstern - “make noise”, trek - “train”) and starts at 11.11 am at the Evangelical Church. From here it moves over the Heiderhöfen, past the Fröbelplatz and the Bismarck School, over the Kiwittenberg and the Franzenkamp to the Bebelstraße, where it ends in front of the Antoniuskirche. True to its name, the post office line is headed every year by the Fat Berta , a confetti cannon that is also known outside of the district and that is only used here.

A second carnival club in Alstaden is KG Alstadener Bären . This association has been organizing the Bärenfest since 2007 , a public festival on the grounds of the Alstaden secondary school, which attracts more than 1000 visitors every year.

Other events in Alstaden are the community festivals of the three churches (Ev. Church of Alstaden, St. Antonius, St. Peter) and the festivals in the individual settlements in the west and southwest, in particular the settlement festival of the Alte Ruhr settlement .

music

The gospel choir S (w) ing and Praise St. Peter Alstaden is based in Alstaden and is one of the best and most famous gospel choirs in the Ruhr area. Other choirs are the MGV Cäcilia Alstaden 1885 , the men's choir from 1853 Oberhausen-Alstaden , the Evangelische Kantorei Alstaden and the other four Catholic choirs, the St. Antonius chamber choir, the St. Antonius gospel choir (“Enjoy together”), the Herz Jesu family choir as well as the church choir St. Antonius and St. Peter.

Economy and Infrastructure

Infrastructure

Bebelstraße, Alstaden town center

Nowadays Alstaden is predominantly characterized by loose residential developments with local trade and commerce as well as many green spaces. The change from an industrial town to an attractive residential area perceived as high quality with rich quarters in the south and east as well as the settlements in the west consisting almost exclusively of single-family houses was successfully completed. Only a few areas on the streets Heiderhöfen and Alstadener Straße are used economically; these are mixed areas . The diverse building structures are typical of Alstaden. In addition to the single-storey miners' houses typical of the Ruhr area, there are old buildings from the Wilhelminian era , younger apartment buildings, lots of open spaces and row houses from the last few decades, which nowadays shape the cityscape in particular. In 2012, 35.65% of the houses in the north, 39.48% of the houses in the east and 52.05% of the houses in the west of Alstaden were single-family houses, the proportion of buildings with more than ten apartments was 0.79% (north), 0.9% (west) and 1.28% (east).

A characteristic of the district is the high level of identification of the residents with Alstaden and the "complaint activity" of the Alstaden residents. The Alstaden people foster the memory of their independence and like to refer to the place as the Kingdom of Alstaden . As you can read on the Bürgerring's website, Alstaden still has a more village-like character.

In the socio-spatial analysis , the Alstaden district cuts as a social district with regard to most indicators such as B. Unemployment rate, transition rate to high school, proportion of benefit recipients significantly better than the city district of Alt-Oberhausen and the city of Oberhausen as a whole. The unemployment rate in 2014 was 4.2% in the west, 4.6% in the north and 8.7% in the east. The proportion of the German population is unusually high at 95.1% (Alstaden-West) and 92.6% (Alstaden-East). There is also an above-average number of people over 60 in Alstaden-Ost (31.9%).

There are several supermarkets in the area of ​​the borough. The Bero shopping center , downtown Oberhausen and downtown Mülheim can be reached quickly by car. The main traffic axis is the Bebelstraße, but there is no classic town center. In the middle of Alstadt, on Antoniusplatz, a small center with shops has developed. In the long term, this is to be shifted to the wasteland between Rehmer and Brögel, where a train station is also to be built, by building a center with a supermarket, service providers, an open space and parking lots.

Due to the outskirts of Alstadt, there is a time limit of twelve minutes in which an ambulance should come to the scene of the accident. In North Rhine-Westphalia this is actually common for rural areas.

Alstaden was electrified in January 1905.

education

The GK Ruhrschule

The Bismarck School

The existence of a Protestant “free school” in neighboring Meiderich is documented for 1609, but it is probably considerably older. Children from the Alstaden area also attended this Meiderich school.

Until 1841, there was only one common school in Styrum for the communities of Alstaden and Styrum, which in 1812 was attended by 134 children. As the population grew, the establishment of a school in Alstaden became more and more urgent, especially since the children from Heiderhöfen - because of the long way to school to Styrum - mostly attended the school in Meiderich. On November 25, 1841, the first Alstaden school was inaugurated and Georg Kellermann was elected as teacher for the almost one hundred Alstaden school children by the Alstaden municipal council. The first school building, which was much too small, was on Kewerstrasse. The teacher Kellermann stayed in Alstaden only until 1845, after which the teacher Albert Engstfeld took over the school from 1845 to 1848. In 1850 the number of pupils had risen to 150, so that the community had to tackle an expansion of the school building with a second classroom and an enlarged teacher's apartment. The extension was inaugurated on February 21, 1851. In 1856, Johann Braumann took over the post of teacher and stayed at the school until he retired in 1895. Since the number of pupils had risen to three hundred in the mid-1860s, the school was expanded in 1867 with the addition of one third classroom expanded again.

The first Catholic school, the Alstader Schule , was inaugurated in 1875, the second Protestant school in 1877. Despite these new school buildings, there was still a shortage of space due to the significantly increasing number of pupils, so that in 1893 the hall of an inn was rented as a classroom, and in 1897 another class in one the space provided by the Alstaden colliery. The spatial problem was solved around 1900 by building three more schools, mainly in the western part of Alstadt: In 1898 the third Protestant school was built (today's Bismarck School), in 1900 the second Catholic school followed with the GK Ruhrschule, and in 1901 it became the 4th Protestant school inaugurated with the Hibernia School.

The Alstader School was renamed the Antonius School in 1897 in connection with the construction of the Antonius Church . During the Second World War, the denominational school became a community school and the name Antoniusschule became the Alstaden school , but this changed again after the war. The new building was opened in 1953, and in 1968, as part of the school reform, the Antoniusschule became a secondary school with the name Hauptschule Alstaden , which was closed in 2018. In the summer of 2019, the Ruhrschule moved into the former building of the secondary school in the Alstaden town center.

Nowadays, the municipal Bismarck School (Mörikestrasse), the municipal Landwehr School (Rechenacker) and the Catholic GK Ruhrschule (Bebelstrasse) are located in Alstaden, and the Concordiaschule (Alleestrasse in Alstaden-Heide / Lirich-Süd) is on the outskirts. A branch of the municipal special needs school "Schule an der Hagedornstraße" is housed in the Landwehrschule building. The Christian Morgenstern School (CMS) was an independent special needs school here until 2015.

Public facilities

The municipal day-care center Alstaden-West (Kiwittenberg) is located in Alstaden, and the municipal day - care center Rechenacker (Rechenacker) is located on the eastern edge of the border with Styrum . The Catholic Church maintains two kindergartens in the local area ( St. Antonius , Antoniusplatz and St. Peter , Kluckstraße), until 2008 three (plus St. Hildegard , Kewerstraße). The third location was taken over today by the parity organization Zaubersterne eV. The Evangelical Church Alstaden has a kindergarten in the district with Karibu Sana (Stubbenbaum).

The St. Antonius library is the only public library in Alstaden and is run on a voluntary basis; its sponsor is the Catholic parish Herz Jesu Oberhausen. The library was founded in 1903 and is therefore the oldest library in the city of Oberhausen.

There are nine playgrounds in Alstaden, which are evenly distributed across the room, and the meadows in the Ruhrpark are also used for all kinds of ball games. The "Naturbad Mülheim-Styrum" open-air swimming pool is located directly on the southern border of Alstad.

traffic

Road traffic

Alstaden has no direct connection to the federal motorways, but can be reached via the nearby junction 15 Mülheim / Oberhausen-Alstaden on the A40 and junction 13 Oberhausen-Lirich on the A3 . The direct vicinity of this junction to the Oberhausen-West motorway junction also enables Alstaden to be reached via the A42 .

Until 2006 the federal road 231 ran through Alstaden on Obermeidericher Strasse . This section, which until then led from Grunewald via Meiderich , Alstaden and Lirich to today's connection to the Neue Mitte , was graduated and is now part of the L1 state road . The following streets belong to the Oberhausen district road system:

• (coming from Friesenstraße in Mülheim) Solbadstraße - Kewerstraße - Bebelstraße (further in Lirich): Kreisstraße K5
• Alstadener Straße (further in Styrum): Kreisstraße K14

Rail transport

The Duisburg-Dortmund and Oberhausen-Duisburg-Ruhrort railway lines run through Alstaden . The latter has a stop at Duisburg-Obermeiderich station right on the edge of Alstaden.

From the Duisburg – Dortmund railway line, the connecting curve to the main line to Essen and Bochum branches off in Alstaden at the level of the Rehmer road . There is a decades tram - stop planned but not yet implemented. According to studies, 15,000 people live in the catchment area of ​​this station, and 2,600 passengers are expected every day. The problems involved in realizing the S-Bahn stop are primarily a question of financing. The measure to the S-Bahn station Alstaden is registered in the public transport requirement plan of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia 2017–2030 and can therefore be implemented during this period. However, the Probahn passenger association is not assuming any implementation before 2027. Oberhausen Central Station, which is located to the north, can be reached by bus from Alstaden, while Mülheim-Styrum  station to the south-east can only be reached from the extreme south of the district.

Public transport

Froebelplatz, district node in the west of Alstaden

In 1898, the then municipality of Alstaden signed a contract to set up a tram on what was then Kaiserstraße, now Bebelstraße. Line 3 ran for the first time on June 29, 1901 and was probably shut down around 1963 with the rest of the Oberhausen tram network. Up until a few years ago, a restaurant at the former terminus of line 3 was called "Gaststätte Endstation".

Nowadays bus traffic in Alstaden is regulated by STOAG . There are bus connections in Alstaden

• From the “Fröbelplatz” district junction to the Bero-Zentrum shopping center and the main train station
  • as well as to Osterfeld, Sterkrade, Schmachtendorf, Königshardt
  • after Essen- Frintrop and - Borbeck
• From the “Ruhrpark” stop to the main train station, to Sterkrade and Holten
  • as well as to Mülheim-Styrum for connection to the S-Bahn and Mülheim main station
• Another line (129) once a day, which runs from Fröbelplatz to Mülheim to the RheinRuhrZentrum , but the rest of the day only runs between Styrum and RheinRuhrZentrum.
• in the west ("Biggestraße", "Oberhauser Straße", "Obermeiderich Bahnhof") to Duisburg main station and to Meiderich and beyond to Ruhrort and Hochheide

The narrowness of many streets in Alstaden poses a problem for local public transport. In particular, the Flügelstrasse and the Blockstrasse are considered too narrow for regular and, in particular, articulated buses.
