Bycatch (Selm)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bycatch is a district of the city of Selm .

history

Hermann settlement, Selm (1909–1923)

The former peasantry originally belonged to the village peasantry , but located outside of the village , which is what the name bycatch or beyfang means. It goes back to the judicial district of Beyfang of Botzlar Castle , which served as a protective castle for the neighboring town of Selm since the 12th century. Around 1500 the jurisdiction of the castle men of Botzlar was merged with the episcopal Gogericht. The name bycatch has been preserved to this day.

Bycatch is mainly shaped by the colliery settlement , which was built at the beginning of the 20th century for the miners of the colliery Hermann (Hermann settlement).

The closure of the Hermann colliery in 1926 had significant consequences for the then Selm community and in particular for bycatch. The literal reproduction of the original application in the Prussian state parliament (in the spelling valid at the time) reads:

“As a result of the closure of the Hermann mine near Selm, the situation in this community (literally incorrect: in the community of Selm-Beifang) has become untenable. A large number of the community residents, especially the older miners, have become unemployed as a result. The rates of family support are not enough to control the need ... About 200 families in this community divorce on April 1st. J. out of crisis relief and then have to be further supported by the community ... The community has already approached the district president with applications. If the county or province has no means to intervene, the state must help here. We apply:

The state parliament wants to decide, the ministry is requested to examine the conditions in the municipality of Selm (literally incorrect: in the municipality of Selm-Beifang) , in particular to work so that

  1. the community is granted special grants,
  2. better driving opportunities to the mines in question are created for the workers,
  3. if possible, the complete impoverishment of the area is prevented by establishing suitable branches of industry. "

School history

In the winter of 1910 the number of Protestant students had risen to 54. Because it was to be expected that their number would increase significantly, a separate school was planned for them. At first the children were accommodated in a classroom of the Ludgerischule. The number of classes soon rose to four, so that the school was able to move into its own schoolhouse (Lutherschule) on today's Schulstrasse in mid-July 1912. In 1968 it was rededicated as a community elementary school. In the meantime it has been dissolved due to a lack of student numbers.

On January 1, 1921, the Catholic elementary school in Selm was split into two. Initially, four classes could be temporarily accommodated in a massive teaching barracks in the courtyard of the current Overberg School. In the summer of 1921, the first eight rooms of the new school building were completed. Four classes still had to be taught in the Ludgerischule building. Since the school reform in 1968 it has been a Catholic secondary school. Children from the Luther Community Primary School and the Catholic Ludgerigrundschule were also taught in the school building. After the Selmer secondary schools merged to form a secondary school in the Bork district , the Overberg School building became the location of a community primary school . The branches of the Luther and Ludger schools were closed. After the Luther school was closed, it was the only elementary school in bycatch.

After the closure of the Hermann colliery in 1926, a second Protestant primary school, the Hermann School, was founded in one of its administrative buildings. Their school district was the area of ​​the old colony east of the county road. After the building was leased to Chemaperm, alternative quarters had to be found for the Hermann School. The classes were housed in the Luther School and in the barracks of the Overberg School until a new school building was ready for occupancy in the forest area on Buddenberg (Pädagogenweg) in 1956. From 1968 the Hermannschule was a community secondary school. A few years before the secondary school students moved to Bork, the secondary school was dissolved and merged with the Overberg secondary school.

A few years after the Second World War, a Catholic and a Protestant aid school were founded in Beifang. Both schools were originally two-tier. They were housed in the barracks of the Overberg School. The schools were later merged into a special school. After the Hermann Hauptschule moved out of the building on Pädagogenweg, the Pestalozzi Special School was set up there. In the meantime, this has been converted into the branch of the support center north of the Unna district, whose headquarters are in Lünen .

The Selm high school was built on August 1st, 1989. It was the first new construction of a high school in North Rhine-Westphalia after 15 years. In August 1992 the new building for this grammar school was completed.

The building of the former Luther school was demolished in September 2018.
