The Derendorf district borders on the Pempelfort district in the south (along Jülicher Strasse) , Golzheim in the west (along Roßstrasse), Unterrath in the north (along Thewissenweg and An der Piwipp) and in the east (along the main line of the railway) to the districts of Düsseltal and Mörsenbroich . The area is 3.36 km², with 6,072 inhabitants per km².

Derendorf is currently changing. In the past, it was heavily influenced by industry (Schlösser brewery, Rheinmetall, etc.), and this district is becoming increasingly popular as a residential location due to its good infrastructure and proximity to the center.

Düsseldorf-Derendorf stop

So far, one-person households have predominated in Derendorf, with an equally large range of three-room apartments. The equipment standard, however, is a bit below average. The same applies to the rental prices.

Parts of Pempelfort , such as Nordstrasse, are often mistakenly counted as part of the Derendorf district, but in fact this only begins north of Jülicher Strasse. The commercial center of Derendorf actually represents the area around Münsterplatz and Münsterstrasse with the Münster-Center. In the north of the district there is also the urban wholesale market , on the site of which the Radschläger flea market is held once a month, as well as parts of the north cemetery .

The Central Mosque -Düsseldorf of DİTİB is located on the eastern edge of the district . The mosque building was bought by the Rheinbahn for around 1.9 million euros and is located directly at the S-Bahn station.

Since 2014, the Toulouser Allee , parallel to the railway line, has been a direct road connection between Derendorf S-Bahn station (Münsterstrasse) and the northern feeder, as well as to Pempelfort.

history

Until 1850

The area on which today's Derendorf district is located was already populated in the pre-Roman Iron Age. In the area of ​​the Golzheimer Heide, a dune area that stretched between Derendorf and today's airport , over one hundred graves from that time were found.

The place names ending in -dorf belong, according to place name research, to the oldest settlements of the Middle Ages. However, only a few written sources are known from this period. However, Derendorf is already mentioned in a document from the 11th century. This is a list of pensions of the monastery of Kaiserswerth, in which the many benefices were listed and their allocation. For today's urban area, the list drawn up in Latin led the areas gotholveshem (Golzheim), stockum (Stockum) and therenthorpe (Derendorf). One of the oldest documents dates from 1303. In this document, the couple "Godeschalk and Sibilla from Derendorf" handed over a house in Düsseldorf as heir to their son Heinrich, who had chosen a church life. He donated this inheritance to the Foundation for the Colligiats Church in Düsseldorf.

From 1384 Derendorf belonged to Düsseldorf as part of the incorporation of other places. These areas outside the city walls were both covered by forest and partly agricultural. Sheep keeping was known from the 15th century. In the last quarter of the 18th century there was a “Derendorfer Busch” that was used to supply wood. Corresponding timber auctions were officially announced, in which the highest bidder could purchase logs.

The farms that were in the Golzheim-Derendorf area at that time must have been relatively wealthy. In a tax list from 1433, the Golzheim-Derendorf area, one of eight districts and the associated honors, was in third place in terms of tax revenue after “Mülhoven” and the “southern suburb” and thus before the “urban area” of 1288.

In documents from that time, the Buscherhof and its 14 forest parcels are named in Derendorf. In 1692/93 the parish church of the Holy Trinity was built in the area of ​​today's Münsterplatz. Although only about 600 Catholics lived in the then outer parish at that time, the establishment of a separate parish had become necessary because of the long church path and because the city gates were closed at night. This Derendorfer church is one of the two churches in the old city of Düsseldorf, which were outside the city wall until the beginning of the 19th century, along with the much older Alt St. Martin church in Bilk.

Even around 1800, agriculture was still predominantly practiced in Derendorf and the area was only sparsely populated. Even up to the middle of the 19th century, these conditions did not change significantly, even if a stronger settlement had already started. After a study from 1836, i.e. before the industrial development of Düsseldorf in the second half of the 19th century, the following data were given for Derendorf as of 1832:

• Residents: 1,103, mostly Catholics, 21 Protestants and 12 Jews
• large farms: 3 (Buscherhof, Matheisenhof and Rungerhof)
• Commercial: 1 mill (Buschermühle)
• public buildings: 1 church and 3 other buildings
• normal houses: 138
• rural buildings: 73

From 1850

In the middle of the 19th century, industrial companies began to settle in and set up in Düsseldorf. Since the old core of the city, today's old town with the Carlstadt , was densely populated, the companies chose areas for their settlement that were outside the old core city. One of the first important steps for the settlement of industrial companies was the creation of railway connections with the surrounding area.

The Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft started operating the route from Cologne from Düsseldorf to Duisburg as early as 1846. Through this route Derendorf was connected to the German railway network that was formed over the next decade. This was followed in 1877 by the construction of the Derendorf line via Wuppertal to Dortmund with the “Düsseldorf RhE” passenger station, with the addition of a new terminal building in 1889. Around 1890, the Derendorf freight station was built, including the construction of extensive covered tracks for loading and unloading the wagons.

Due to the now existing connection for the transport of goods and goods by rail, the establishment of companies and supply facilities followed at the end of the century. In 1882 Joseph Hohmann founded the Joseph Hohmann porcelain factory . In 1889 the “Hörder Bergwerks- und Hüttenverein” established the Derendorf plant “Rheinische Metallwaren- und Maschinenfabrik”, which began production in December of that year. This company is the predecessor of the current Rheinmetall . This was followed in 1899 by the construction and commissioning of a "slaughter and cattle yard" in Derendorf on Rather Strasse.

Building of the former slaughterhouse and cattle yard (2011)

Wholesale market in Düsseldorf, approach to Ulmenstrasse, founded in 1936, central supply point for fresh fruit and vegetables with importance far beyond the borders of the state capital

The establishment of factories and municipal supply facilities resulted in increased settlement both in the entire urban area of ​​Düsseldorf and Derendorf. This required the further expansion of municipal facilities. Below are some of these measures in Derendorf, which also included the creation of the wholesale market:

• In 1873 the now too small Catholic primary school was replaced by a new urban building. In addition to 4 apartments for the teaching staff, this new building also had 8 classrooms for school lessons.
• In 1884 the new north cemetery began to be used, some of which had been laid out on the Derendorf site.
• 1890 to 1895 construction of the Wilhelmine barracks on the Kaiserhain (area about 10 ha, Karree Roßstraße, Johannstraße, Ulmenstraße and Tannenstraße)
• From 1892 to 1893 the old brick church , which was now too small, was replaced by a new building.
• In 1893 a prison called Ulmer Höh ' by the people of Düsseldorf was inaugurated, so called because the buildings on "Ulmenstrasse" were on a slightly elevated area. In 2012 this location was closed and relocated to a new building in Ratingen-Süd.
• In 1894 , the Order of the Vinzentine Sisters opened a nursing and nursing ward to care for residents in this area of ​​the city, which was expanded and converted into the St. Vinzenskrankenhaus from 1898 to 1914.

Development areas in Derendorf Nord

On the former Rheinmetall site, the site of the Ulanenkaserne on Tannenstrasse and the site of the former slaughterhouse and the Schlösser brewery , extensive new developments have already been implemented and are being implemented as part of the “Derendorf Nord development area”.

The main areas are: the Tannenstrasse / Roßstrasse area, the Rheinmetall area, the Rather Strasse area / north of the slaughterhouse and the Schlösser brewery and slaughterhouse area.

Tannenstrasse / Roßstrasse area

In the area of ​​Tannenstrasse / Roßstrasse, the conversion on the 10 hectare barracks area, which from 1890 to the First World War took in the Westphalian Uhlan Regiment No. 5 , is already very advanced. The conversions and developments carried out there consist, among other things, of the new main administration building of the advertising agency Gray G2 Group Germany , a study center of the Akademie Mode & Design and the Hochschule Fresenius as well as two residential projects carried out by the state development company NRW GmbH (LEG) and the Gelsenkirchen- based THS TreuHandStelle GmbH. The State of North Rhine-Westphalia established the House of Foundations in the officers' mess at Roßstrasse 133, which was built in 1895/1896 , in which the Art Foundation of North Rhine-Westphalia and the North Rhine-Westphalia Foundation for Nature Conservation, Heritage and Culture are housed. The data center of the financial administration of North Rhine-Westphalia is located at Roßstrasse 131 .

Since the end of 2017, the headquarters of L'Oréal Germany has been located on Kennedydamm in the 60 meter high building "Horizon" (address Johannstrasse 1). The building was realized by the project development company “die developer” together with HPP Architects .

Rheinmetall division

The 9 hectare Rheinmetall area is also at an advanced stage. The Rheinmetall AG reorganized and extended its old head office and used the building again as headquarters.

There are also residential construction projects, 150 apartments are planned, 80 of which have already been realized, as well as office space with around 89,000 m², which are mainly planned along Heinrich-Ehrhardt-Straße.

Area Rather Straße / north of the slaughterhouse

In the northern area of ​​the former slaughterhouse, an office and shopping complex called Forum Derendorf was built a few years ago. This property is part of the closed real estate fund "HSBC Trinkaus Europa Immobilien-Fonds 6" from HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt Real Estate GmbH.

Schlösser brewery and slaughterhouse area

The buildings in the Schlösser brewery and slaughterhouse area were demolished and the area rebuilt.

After a competition, in which, among other things, a "Children's City" (residential development) was planned, is a new building of the campus of the University of Applied Sciences Dusseldorf, renamed on 1 May 2015 University Dusseldorf , under construction. The campus on the site of the former slaughterhouse and cattle yard in Düsseldorf includes lecture halls and seminar areas, laboratories, a library, administration and exhibition areas as well as a canteen / cafeteria. The campus was partially completed at the end of 2015, partial use has been taking place since the beginning of 2016, and construction work on individual buildings was still ongoing at the end of the same year. Student accommodation, a kindergarten and a youth leisure facility are also planned.

Others

On November 3, 1957, the mistake of a pilot in a Douglas DC-4 operated by the Karl Herfurtner Düsseldorf airline on Golzheimer Strasse led to a plane crash in which seven of the ten occupants and one person living in an allotment garden were killed.
