history

Bommerholz is originally the mark of the former village of Bommern . It is not known when the area was first mentioned as Bommerholz. Bommerholz gained importance in the years between 1766 and 1769. Due to an order of the Prussian government, the old brands in the country were redistributed; The landowners and brands kötter , who were once only authorized to use the property, had to cede the share of use to other full farmers, while small mines were set up at the same time . In 1794 the construction of a road from Bommern to Elberfeld began. The purpose of the road was to secure the coal needs of the up-and-coming city of Elberfeld. This "Provinzialstraße" led directly through Bommerholz and helped the place to a short-term population growth.

In the long term, however, Bommerholz was unable to benefit from its location directly on this important traffic route. The landscape of Bommerholz remained largely agricultural, since the important mines in Bommern such as Neue Bommerbank (founded in 1743), Braunschweig (1751) or Glücksstern (1759) were located directly in Bommern, they had direct access to the Ruhr from here . After the French occupation of the region at the beginning of the 19th century, Bommern became part of the Volmarstein office and merged with the municipality of Wengern . Through this merger, further economic development focused on the village centers of Bommern and Wengern. This did not change after Bommern's departure from this group in 1895.

As a result of the municipal reform of 1929, Bommern fell to Witten, Bommerholz was administered by Herbede, and in 1951, after Herbede was granted city rights, Bommerholz was given the status of a district. Due to its proximity to the Herbeder districts of Vormholz and Durchholz , the districts are colloquially called Holz (in general, the self-sufficient district of Buchholz is also included).

With the incorporation of Herbedes into the city of Witten, which came into force on January 1, 1975, Bommerholz lost its status as an independent district and is now a district of Herbede. The name of the district in the official district maps of the city administration of Witten can be described as an administrative construct, especially since the Muttental actually extends over the city and districts of Bommern, Vormholz, Durchholz (here the name- giving Muttenbach originates ) and Bommerholz the most important mining and industrial historical sites are in the Bommeraner part.

Land use plan 2020

A new zoning plan will be drawn up in Witten by 2009. This is of essential importance for Bommerholz in particular, because since the 1980s the image of the district has changed dramatically due to dense residential developments. What was once an agricultural district with a small population has become a dormitory town. While the new development initially only took place near the former Provinzialstraße, the new development areas have now literally "eaten into" the landscape. The local infrastructure has not adapted to the new living conditions, either with regard to the establishment of retail stores or the expansion of local public transport . There isn't even a kiosk or gas station in the whole of Bommerholz that would allow for a minimal supply. In order to do justice to this special situation and to take it into account in the new zoning plan, the city administration has decoupled Bommerholz from Herbede and, due to the spatial proximity, included it in the plans for the district of Bommern, which corresponds to the historical growth of the district.

Muttental

The Muttental is considered the cradle of Ruhr mining. Due to the Ruhr cycle path , which was opened in 2006 and which runs through the Ruhr bank of the valley, the Muttental is enjoying increasing popularity in near tourism. The Muttental extends over several districts and districts. The district of "Bommerholz-Muttental" mainly includes forest areas; the important historical sites on the Muttental mining trail are located near the banks of the Bommeran Ruhr.
