Location of Batenbrock in Bottrop

Batenbrock is one of 17 districts of the independent city of Bottrop .

history

The name goes back to the Schulte-Batenbrock farmers, whose farm was on the site of the urban area. At that time there was a thin settlement. With the industrialization of the Ruhr area , the population of the district increased sharply, today it is the Bottrop district with the second highest population density. From 1910 to 1930 the Arenberg colliery was in operation, which was on the grounds of the Schulte-Batenbrock farmers. After the first sinking work in 1910, coal mining began in 1912 at the Arenberg Continuation Double Shaft. The miners' settlement that emerged in this context still shapes parts of the cityscape today. Today there is an industrial area on the mine site.
