history

Since the 19th century Bladenhorst formed a rural community in the district of Bochum in the Prussian province of Westphalia . The community initially belonged to the Herne Office and from 1897 to the Baukau Office. In 1872 the Victor 1/2 colliery was sunk in Bladenhorst and in 1897 the Rütgerswerke were founded in Bladenhorst. On April 1, 1908, the neighboring community of Pöppinghausen was incorporated into Bladenhorst, which now formed its own office. On April 1, 1926, Bladenhorst was one of the founding communities of the new town of Castrop-Rauxel.
