history

The oldest evidence of a larger settlement in Beeck is two early medieval burial grounds. From the one Franconian cemetery, today located in the area of ​​the Lange Kamp street, two body graves are known that date from the first half of the 7th century. The second grave field, known as the grave field Pothmannstrasse, is indirectly proven by reading finds in a sand pit. These finds can only come from destroyed burials and date to the second half of the 7th and first half of the 8th century. The burial ground could be related to a group of four courtyards that were called "Bodenbom" in the Middle Ages.

The Beeck farm, now called Oberhof , was first mentioned in written sources on January 15, 947 in a document from King Otto I , with which he testified that his grandfather, Duke Otto the Illustrious of Saxony (880-912), owned the court Beki gave the pen in Essen.

Today's Oberhof and the adjacent parish church of St. Laurentius are generally regarded as the nucleus of Beeck. The three-aisled church stands on a small hill. It has a west tower and a polygonal choir in the east. The choir and side aisles have buttresses. Inside, it presents itself with arched arcade pillars and ribbed vaults. A groin vault has been preserved in the basement of the tower. The liturgical interior was lost during the Reformation. The interior walls are plastered in Protestant white. According to the latest research, the church was built between the 9th and 10th centuries. The Essen Abbey had the right of patronage; in 1306 it was incorporated into the Abbey. The parish districts included the following honors : Beeck, Laar, Stockum, Alsum, Bruckhausen, and Marxloh. In addition to the Laurentius Church, there was a second church in Beeck, the Markus Chapel, which was built in connection with the Werden Abbey, south of Essen bring is.

The medieval village of Beeck was on the right bank of the river Emscher, which curved sharply north at Stockum and flowed into the Rhine at Alsum (which was therefore a port). The center was on the road from Duisburg to the north.

In 1338 Beeck recognized the Highness of Kleve , but seemed to see a problematic solution in this. As early as 1405 an attempt was made to transfer the court to the Duchy of Jülich-Geldern , which Kleve stopped again in 1412.

From the 15th century there were three courts in Beeck, a Vogteigericht, the sovereign court and the court court.

It was not until 1612 that the Beeck judicial office was subordinated to Drosten von Dinslaken , until the so-called Beeck office had already expanded to include the area: Beeck not only included Beeckerwerth and Laar (1904) - there were also the Alsum and Schwelgern farms , Bruckhausen , Marxloh , Buschhausen , Sterkrade , Hamborn , Neumühl and Stockum, which is closely linked to Laar .

By the end of the 18th century, the Meiderich glory was assigned to the Beeck office, which was merged with the Holten office with the Napoleonic occupation and reorganization in 1806 - still assigned to (the canton) of Dinslaken in the Essen district . The seat of the mayor's office in Holten was now alternately in Holten (from 1806 to 1811 and from 1831 to 1858) and Beeck (from 1811 to 1830 and from 1859 to 1886).

In 1881 the first consideration was given to separating the meanwhile more industrialized Laar, which already raised half of the tax revenues. On April 1, 1886, a more far- reaching reorganization came into effect: Holten , like Buschhausen , which had been separated from Hamborn for this purpose, became the new mayor's office in Sterkrade. Beeck became its own mayor's office, which had belonged to the Ruhrort district , which had been detached from the Mülheim an der Ruhr district since 1887 , and which included the two communities of Beeck and Hamborn.

The monument "Alte Brotfabrik" Duisburg-Beeck at Arnold-Overbeck-Straße 58. The studio of the artist Cyrus Overbeck is today a place for science and art in the north of Duisburg.

In 1900, as a result of industrialization, Hamborn was not only raised to its own mayor's office, but also attracted the localities of Bruckhausen, Alsum, Schwelgern and Marxloh, which had previously belonged to the municipality of Beeck. In addition to the Beecker Kern, Beeck remained Beeckerwerth, Laar and Stockum. In 1904, Beeck was incorporated into Ruhrort, which in turn was incorporated into the city of Duisburg on October 1, 1905.

economy

Probably the best-known business enterprise in Beeck is the König brewery in the middle of town. The Rönsberghof colliery on the eastern edge of Beeck and the Beeckerwerth colliery in the district of the same name also provided funding here .

Culture

The studio of the artist Cyrus Overbeck is located in the former bread factory Arnold-Overbeck-Straße 58 . The industrial monument, built in 1904, is a venue for exhibitions, concerts, lectures, readings and theater performances of national to international rank.

The listed Oberhof in Duisburg-Beeck. Today a cultural center for the people of Beeck.

The cultural center for the population of Beeck is the centrally located Oberhof, in which a cafe is operated and exhibitions by local artists as well as readings and events take place regularly.

traffic

Beeck is particularly conveniently located south of the A42 motorway in terms of traffic geography and has its own motorway exit and driveway. Beeck is connected to the municipal public transport network within the city. The 901 tram runs here, as do several bus routes. The station Duisburg-Beeck is located on the railway line Duisburg-Meiderich North Hohenbudberg . However, it is not used because the route is currently only released for freight traffic.
