View of part of the Aplerbecker Mark

The Aplerbecker Mark is a district of Dortmund and is located in the southeast of the city. It belongs to the city ​​district of Aplerbeck . On December 31, 2013 there were 4241 inhabitants in the statistical sub-district of Aplerbecker Mark . However, this figure only refers to the statistical sub-district Aplerbecker Mark , in which large parts of the areas of Aplerbeck traditionally regarded as Aplerbecker Mark (including the sub-district Schwerter Straße , in which e.g. the Aplerbecker-Mark primary school is located) are not included. There is no clear demarcation from the Aplerbeck district , neither in terms of the statistical grouping of the number of residents nor in the form of entrance signs or separate postcodes.

The place is characterized by some very high quality residential developments. Spacious single-family houses and row houses predominate. Higher residential buildings (up to six floors) are only available in the Aplerbecker-Mark-Straße / Lenneweg area.

Geographical location

Center of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia

In the north it borders on other statistical sub-districts of the Aplerbeck district , in the east on Sölde , in the south on the city of Schwerte and in the west on Berghofen . The Aplerbecker Mark extends over approx. 1000 hectares . The planimetrically determined center of North Rhine-Westphalia is located in the Aplerbecker Mark, in the Nathebachtal on Gurlittstrasse .

history

Commonly used areas of a farming village are referred to as mark , district or commons . The farmers and the Aplerbecks had usage rights to the Aplerbecker Mark. These consisted of allocations of firewood and construction wood. The administration and the office of hereditary judge lay exclusively with the gentlemen of the Rodenberg family . It was not until 1806 that the Aplerbecker Mark was divided. Almost a third belonged to the Rodenberg family, the rest was split between the Protestant parish and the Aplerbeck farmers. They could then take over their farms in full after paying twenty-five times the annual interest.

From 1850 the farmers sold the land to the migrating factory workers and miners. These built Kotten on the land , this meant they went to work in the mines or factories and farmed the land for self-sufficiency, so they were part-time farmers. The Kötter orchards were well known. Fruit trees were grown in the Aplerbeck tree nursery . The Aplerbeck tree nursery was especially known for apple cultivation. Due to the self-sufficiency, the Kötter in the Aplerbecker Mark were able to survive the crisis after the First World War , in which the Aplerbecker collieries and the Aplerbecker hut closed, reasonably well. The publicly funded emergency work, through which the Emscher canalized and the Aplerbeck forest stadium and outdoor pool were built, also helped the residents of the Mark. In 1928 the Aplerbecker Mark was incorporated into Dortmund.

After the Second World War , the image of the mark changed. Dortmund was badly damaged and the Mark became a popular residential area in the greater Dortmund area. Many homes were built, especially in the Tiefen Mark area.

Little Paris

The southernmost part of the Aplerbecker Mark is also known under the field name "Klein Paris". From here the still existing footpath led through the forest to Freischütz or in front of the forest along to the Nathe distillery and to the former tram or current bus stop. The name "Little Paris" goes back to the Dräger family who used to live here. One of their ancestors took part in the Franco-German War as a soldier . He also traveled through Paris with the army. The memories of this influenced the naming. After the war against the French had been won, Herrenstrasse was renamed Pariser Strasse , which also led to the name "Little Paris", which was well known in Aplerbeck for a long time until the 1960s.

Attractions

Freischütz excursion restaurant

Just beyond the local border with Schwerte, in the area of ​​the town of Schwerte, is the Freischütz excursion restaurant . In 1843 the Schwerter magistrate built a small forester's house in the forest. This became very popular as a resting place for travelers as well as for the workers of the neighboring Josephine colliery . In 1861 the forester was allowed to serve alcohol and the name Freischütz was born. Through the connection to the Hörder Kreisbahn in 1899, the Freischütz bar became a place for excursions for residents of Dortmund and Hörder. In 1902 today's restaurant and ballroom were built. In 1930 a riding and jumping competition area was laid out south of the ballroom. The Freischütz became famous for the children's paradise built in 1964 with a fairytale forest and Munchausen, which climbed the tower of the ballroom while riding on its ball.

Infrastructure

traffic

In 1899 a tram line of the Hörder Kreisbahn from Hörde via the Freischütz to Schwerte reached the Aplerbecker Mark. In 1902 a second line was added via Aplerbeck to the “Gockel” intersection, the former intersection of federal roads 234 and 236 . In 1912 the Aplerbecker Mark was connected to the Cologne-Mindener railway line through the Aplerbecker Südbahnhof . This station still exists today and was repaired by Deutsche Bahn in autumn 2006 . The tram lines were closed, the last in the 1970s.

education

There are kindergartens, day-care centers and a school, the Aplerbecker-Mark-Grundschule, in the Mark. In 2006 this school celebrated its 100th anniversary. A sports facility known in Dortmund, the Aplerbecker Waldstadion, was built on the northern edge of the Schwerter Forest.

economy

There has always been only a small amount of trade in the market. In addition to retail, savings bank and gardening, only the Nathe schnapps distillery is still known to old Aplerbeckers. In 2006 the building of the former Nathe schnapps distillery and the farm on the B 236 had to give way to the expansion of the main road. Only the old barn on the eastern side of the B 236 opposite the main building still reminds of the complex. In the past few years, the now demolished buildings have been used by a tile shop.

Green spaces

Reservoir in the Nathebachtal recreation area

The Nathebachtal recreational area runs through the Aplerbecker Mark . The Nathebach , which has its sources in the southwest of the district and is additionally fed by rainwater discharges, flows through it in a northeastern direction and flows into the Emscher in the Aplerbeck district . After a heavy flooding of Aplerbeck in the mid-1980s, the Nathebach valley was extensively renatured after the Nathebach was canalized and straightened in concrete chamber stones in the 1970s. Today the Nathebach, together with its small ponds and the reservoir, forms a green belt from the Schwerter Wald to the center of the district.

religion
