Borbeck (Oberhausen)

Borbeck is a district in the Oberhausen district of Alt-Oberhausen . It is often confused with the Essen district of the same name .

location

The 3.20 km² district came to the city of Oberhausen in the course of a regional reform in 1915 . He was separated from the Borbeck mayor's office . The largest part (2.72 km²) belonged to Frintrop , the remaining 0.48 km² to Dellwig . In local parlance, the quarter is sometimes still called "Dellwig". The factory estate built by Gutehoffnungshütte between 1906 and 1910, which with 61 houses formed the basis for today's quarter, also bore this name . According to some plans by the city of Oberhausen, the New Center and the Grafenbusch settlement are now part of the so-called statistical district of Borbeck. These districts are also considered to be one quarter from a socio-spatial perspective. The population was 8,153 at the end of 2011.

The old Haus Ripshorst estate , which used to be on Dellwig's territory, has housed the Emscher Landscape Park information center since 1999 . The Ripshorst wood garden was created in its vicinity. In the immediate vicinity of the Oberhausen-Borbeck district are also the Vondern fallow land and the Frintrop track park .

The delimitation by the Rhine-Herne Canal in the north and railway lines in the east and south gives the district a certain island character. The separation from the rest of the Oberhausen city area came to a head in the recent past when the Ripshorster Bridge, originally located in the Essen city area, had to be closed to car traffic in 2004 over the Duisburg – Dortmund railway line . Only after a change of area in 2006, whereby Essen ceded 6 hectares to the neighboring city, Oberhausen was able to start building a new bridge and restore the road connection in 2009.

church

The church allocation of the district differs according to the denominations: On the Catholic side, St. Judas Thaddäus is subordinate to the provost church of St. Pankratius in Osterfeld as a branch church , while the Protestant population is looked after by the parish of Essen-Dellwig-Frintrop-Gerschede.
