Bedingrade (called in Borbeck Platt Beddingroode ) is a district in the west of the city of Essen . In the north it borders on the districts of Frintrop , Dellwig and Gerschede , in the east on Borbeck-Mitte as the next medium- sized center , in the south on Schönebeck and in the west on the neighboring cities of Oberhausen and Mülheim an der Ruhr .

character

The village character of the district with green areas has largely been preserved to the present day. Otherwise mainly residential buildings, consisting of single and multi-family houses, built by private and public developers dominate. The late 1950s and 1960s were marked by increased construction of company housing and general social housing.

Water tower

The nature reserve between Bedingrade, Schönebeck and Mülheim- Dümpten , called Sippchen or Siepchen , is used for recreation . The actual name is Hexbachtal , a five kilometer long side valley of the Emscher . The Hexbach, which later flows into the Läppkes Mühlenbach , flows through here and for the most part forms the natural border with Mülheim an der Ruhr .

The water tower at Frintroper Straße 326 from 1897 is now a listed building. Popularly it is often referred to as the Frintropian water tower after the neighboring district . It is 44 meters high and contains around one million liters of water, which is mainly used to supply the neighboring cities in the north. The Lutherhaus is home to the Evangelical Church Community of Essen-Bedingrade-Schönebeck. The Catholic Church of St. Franziskus, which was its own parish until 2008 and since then a subsidiary church of the St. Joseph Parish, is located in Borbeck-Mitte, right on the city limits of Bedingrade. East is a forest area on Pausmühlenbach, popularly Luna Park called and extending up to the lock road. The unofficial naming presumably goes back to the fact that at the beginning of the 20th century, lovers liked to stay there on moonlit nights.

The district sports facility Am Wasserturm, on which Adler Union Frintrop plays its home games, is located directly at the water tower .

schools

In 1962 the Protestant elementary school opened on Lohstrasse, which one year later was called the Anne Frank School and became a primary school in 1968. In 1969 the Anne Frank School on Lohstrasse moved into a new building, so that it has been spatially separated from the old building, which was now used as a secondary school. In 2008, the primary school was integrated into the Bedingrade / Schönebeck primary school on Bergheimer Strasse, which had been the Catholic Franciscan School until then, before it was closed in 2010. It has been called Bedingrade Primary School since 2017. The secondary school on Lohstrasse was closed in summer 2012. The demolition of the school buildings began two years later, as single and double houses and a day-care center were built on the site from 2014 to 2017. The LVR special school for the hearing impaired has been located not far from Tonstrasse since 1977.

In the local public transport, the tram line 105, the bus lines 143, 185 and 186 as well as the night expresses NE11 and NE12 of the Ruhrbahn open up the district Bedingrade and offer direct connections to Borbeck-Mitte as well as to the inner cities of Essen, Bottrop and Oberhausen.

history

Listed Brinkmannshof

Headquarters, first mentioned in 1604

The peasantry Bettingrath or Batingrotha was first mentioned in the 11th century. Some of the old Heuckes, Grafschmidt, Paus, Kirchmann and Grote farms existed for centuries. A still existing half-timbered house of the Brinkmannshof , first mentioned in 1332, has been a listed building since 1985. The ending -ingrade is unusual in the Ruhr area and is identical to the ending -ingerode, which is common in Ostfalen . Etymologically, Bedingrade is identical to Bettingerode am Harz, which is about 260 km to the east .

The main building at Schloßstraße 357 is a listed half-timbered house , which was first mentioned in a document in 1604. Located on the Heerweg to Wesel , it was used as a hostel by Colonel La Valotta and Colonel Martin Schenk von Nideggen . From 1949 to 1963 there was a post office in the main building. Today there is a restaurant located there.

In 1905 a water storage tank was built on Kiekenberg street at a height of 85 m . The building, which is architecturally reminiscent of a small castle, also supplied part of neighboring Oberhausen with water for nine years. The water tank was located in the cellar of the building that is no longer in existence today, and the control technology at ground level. After it was only used as a warehouse and carpenter's workshop in the 1950s, after renovation work in 2005, a studio moved in that is open to the public as part of exhibitions or courses.

Affiliations

In the Middle Ages, the courtyards as so-called Unterhöfe in the Oberhof Borbeck, mostly in kind, were subject to tax. After the women's monastery in Essen was founded by the Bishop of Hildesheim Altfrid in 852 , the Essen abbess was legally assigned the Oberhof Borbeck by Archbishop Gunthar of Cologne in 860 . In 1288 the Oberhof became the property of the women's monastery, so that the abbess as such received the spiritual, and raised as imperial duchess, also the secular saga about Borbeck and thus also the condition. In the course of secularization , the monastery was dissolved in 1803, so that the territory first came to Prussia .

In 1808 Bedingrade went to the newly established Rhine department of the French satellite state Grand Duchy of Berg . After the reorganization of Europe by the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Bedingrade came to the now Prussian mayor's office Borbeck , which then belonged to the Essen district founded on April 23, 1816 . After its dissolution in 1823, Bedingrade belonged to the Duisburg district as part of the mayor's office until 1859 , then from 1859 to the newly established Essen district. On April 1, 1915, the Borbeck mayor's office, and thus Bedingrade, was incorporated into the city of Essen. Since then, Bedingrade has formed a district of the city of Essen in the district IV Borbeck.

coat of arms

Bedingrade Coat of Arms

Blazon : “A fallen silver (white) plow in green.” The coat of arms was designed by Kurt Schweder and never had an official character. At the end of the 1980s, the heraldist created coats of arms for all of Essen's districts. They have meanwhile been well received by the Essen population.

Condition comes from Batingrotha , as it was called in the 11th century. Bathing is probably a family name, -rotha means clearing , which was the basis for this coat of arms design . After clearing the plow comes .
