Location of the district

Brassert is a district of the North Rhine-Westphalian city ​​of Marl .

location

Brassert borders in the north on the chemical zone ( i.e. the Marl Chemical Park ), in the northeast on Drewer-Nord and in the southeast on the city center. To the south lies Alt-Marl and west / northwest Dorsten . There the Lippe forms the natural border between the municipalities.

history

The district has been shaped mainly by mining since the beginning of the 20th century. The Brassert colliery was located there until 1972, and the colliery settlements still exist in the immediate vicinity. The former colliery site has been converted into an amusement park and a commercial area.

In order to remedy the large housing shortage after the destruction of World War II and the influx of refugees and displaced persons from the German eastern regions into the western part of Germany, the so-called ECA settlement was built in Brassert at the beginning of the 1950s within the framework and with funds of the Marshall Plan .

Funding was initially provided by the US Economic Cooperation Administration (ECA) set up in 1948, from 1951 through the Mutual Security Agency (MSA). As a requirement, the planners demanded that small apartments be built as cheaply as possible at a fixed price; social housing should be promoted. In 1951, the Federal Housing Ministry launched an ECA implementation competition for architects and construction companies. The settlement built afterwards still bears the name ECA settlement today.
