Location of Bövinghausen in Dortmund
Bövinghausen in the 1980s

Bövinghausen is the statistical district 71 and at the same time a district of the urban city of Dortmund . It borders in the north on Castrop-Rauxel , Merklinde district , in the east on Westrich , in the south on Lütgendortmund and in the west on Bochum , district Gerthe . Together with Holte-Kreta, it is the westernmost suburb of Dortmund.

Bövinghausen was first mentioned in a document in 882, has 5748 registered residents (as of December 31, 2018) and covers an area of ​​around three square kilometers. This makes it a relatively small suburb of Dortmund.

In terms of tourism, the industrial monument Zeche Zollern II / IV located here is particularly relevant.

history

First mention of Bövinghausen in the register of the Werden monastery

In the register of the Werden monastery from the year 882 there is the first documentary mention of Bövinghausen together with that of Dortmund: In Throtmanni liber homo Arnoldus VIII denarios solvit (In Dortmund the free man Arnold pays us eight (silver) pfennigs). It goes on in Bövinghausen, Waldger pays 10 bushels of rye and eight pfennigs of Heerschilling for half a hoof (half a farm).

A second mention took place due to the incorporation into Castrop in 890 under the name bovink husun .

19th century

Before the beginning of the 19th century, Bövinghausen consisted only of a few farms and town houses on the Provinzialstraße built by Napoleon in 1808 . In 1818, 147 people lived in the Bövinghausen peasantry in 16 houses, in 1849 there were 181 inhabitants in 21 houses. The farmers were administered by the Mengede Office . In the restaurant Provinzialstrasse 398 the horses of the stagecoach were changed.

At the beginning of the second half of the 19th century, the coal boom also began in Bövinghausen, as a total of four mines were opened in the vicinity between 1853 and 1858. Another important factor was the construction of the Emschertal Railway through Bövinghausen in 1878, which was needed to transport coal. At this time the Bövinghauser Bridge was built, which became necessary as the number of tracks increased. Today Bövinghauser Strasse runs over it.

20th century

Zeche Zollern II / IV (early 20th century)

The strongest phase of the upswing began at the beginning of the 20th century with the construction of the Zollern II / IV colliery (1898–1904). The mine, built in the brick Gothic style , was one of the most modern in the country. It owned the world's first electric winder , the generators of which also enabled electric street lighting in the streets of Bövinghausen. As a result, an immigration boom set in - mainly through workers from Prussia and Silesia - in the flourishing industrial center. The population rose from 531 in 1895 to 1124 at the beginning of the 20th century.

Shortly after the turn of the century, Bövinghausen received a connection to the Westphalian tram network , now called Bogestra, with tram line 27 . It ran south via Lütgendortmund to Langendreer and north to Rauxel train station . Through this route, three railway lines were linked with one another every 20 minutes: the Ruhr area line of the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft , the Emschertalbahn and the Ruhr area line of the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft . This also corresponded to the route of the old stagecoach from Witten to Castrop. The line of the narrow-gauge railway was fully electrified. The administration was located in Gerthe , a depot on the corner of Provinzialstraße and Lütgendortmunder Hellweg. Today the 378 bus runs the route of the 27 tram.

On April 1, 1909, today's Westrich was incorporated into Bövinghausen. 980 Westrichs were added to the 3602 inhabitants of Bövinghausen. This number rose to 4698 registered residents by 1910, which u. a. made the expansion of the station necessary.

During this phase, a workers' settlement in the garden city style, the Landwehr colony , was built around the colliery . When this settlement no longer offered the necessary capacities due to further growth due to new workers, a second settlement was built on the Oberdelle and Unterdelle in the 1920s. Both settlements still exist today.

After a Protestant parish was founded in 1911 , a new Catholic Art Nouveau church was built in the middle of World War I , which was inaugurated on September 5, 1915. This made long hikes to the next municipality in Lütgendortmund unnecessary.

After a long tug of war, Bövinghausen was finally incorporated into Dortmund on April 1, 1928. Castrop-Rauxel, Bochum and Dortmund were all interested in taking up the economically important village; however, the residents decided in favor of Dortmund. The following text appeared on the incorporation of Bövinghausen:

The future Bövinghausen district will form the far west of the new Greater Dortmund. Today's rural community lies at the height that forms the watershed between the Ruhr and Emscher. The view goes around freely on all sides. In the east of the Hellweg, the cooling towers of the 'Zeche Zollern II', three equally spaced, and the tower of the church in Kirchlinde are the boundary points in a picture that shows the masses of houses in the inner city of Dortmund in the lowlands behind colliery heaps and railway embankments. Like the graduation of a ruler, there are large and small black lines in it: The chimneys of the great works.

Ultimately, Bövinghausen also got its own mail, as the back room of the “Leßmöllmann” restaurant had to serve as a post office up to that point. Shipments handed in in Bövinghausen continued to receive Merklinde's stamp. A police station with a sobering cell, the so-called “Pittermännken”, was built right next to the new post office.

In 1954, the Zollern II / IV colliery was shut down because the operation was no longer economical due to rising mining costs. The last coal wagon was brought to light on October 1st. In 1966, the ropeway and material transport were also discontinued.

21st century

Former large construction site B 235

In the course of an upheaval from 2006 to 2013, Provinzialstraße ( B 235 ) was converted from four lanes to two lanes with cycle lanes on both sides and parking bays as well as a central multi-purpose room and the gas and sewage pipes renewed. In October 2006, the renovation work began from the city limits of Castrop-Rauxel to house number 309.

Rewe Dortmund wants to build a new building together with an investor on the fallow site between the Bövinghauser Bridge, the train station and the Rewe car park.

There is a new development area east of the train station.

Uva played here the French pianist Jacques Loussier as part of the Ruhr Piano Festival with his jazz combo .

Also of interest to visitors is the Dortmund-West riding club, which organizes major tournaments several times a year in the west of Bövinghausen.

Directly on the northern border from Bövinghausen to Castrop-Rauxel, the club complex of the Castrop-Rauxel model railway association (founded in 1987) is located in a backyard on the upper floor of a former commercial enterprise. It is one of the largest model railways in the Ruhr area, which can occasionally be viewed on club days for a small fee.

The formerly planned Neue Hellweg , which was originally designed to relieve the Ruhr Schnellweg, leads north past Bövinghausen . Its route crosses the B 235 (Provinzialstraße). It ends east of Bövinghausen next to a so-called soda bridge, which has not been used for almost 30 years .

Bövinghausen has a Protestant and a Catholic parish . There is also a mosque in the southeastern part of the village on the Oberdelle .

Culture and sport

Queue for the 3rd Ruhrmarathon

Another cultural and sporting highlight in recent years was the Ruhr Marathon , the first half marathon destination of which was the Zeche Zollern II / IV. In the following two years, the neighboring town of Lütgendortmund was the starting point for the marathon , but thousands of participants stood as far as Bövinghausen. The marathon took place in an annual cycle.

Today the Bövinghausen community center is located on the site of the former market square near the train station and is used for various events and can be rented. It was built by the Heinz and Ilse Schulze Foundation, which is primarily committed to promoting Bövinghauser sports clubs, but is also active in improving education and upbringing.

Furthermore, the Kolping Society , which is closely linked to the local Catholic community, has settled in Bövinghausen.
