St. Anthony in Hassels

War memorial and former Protestant school

Hassels is a district of Düsseldorf in district 9 with around 17,700 inhabitants spread over an area of ​​4.37 km². The proportion of foreigners is 29.6%, around a third above the average for the city as a whole. Household sizes and the number of children are also above average (all information as of December 31, 2016). The residential use is defining, the proximity to the Eller , Hasseler and Benrather Forest urban forests , the Unterbacher See recreational area and the Hilden municipal forest ensure a high level of recreational value. The Düsseldorf city center is relatively far away, so that shopping can also be done in neighboring Hilden or Benrath .

Hassels' history

In earlier times , Hassels was called Haselholt , which means something like hazelnut wood , which means that numerous hazelnut bushes used to be found in the Hassels area. Later, “wood” and “nut” were dropped from the name and the name Hassels emerged. The name Hasholt is still used in a subsequent old court document . In this document of the district court Himmelgeist from 1368 both "Hassels" and a Hassel location "Aldenbrücken" are mentioned. The text line reads: “ Before Wilh. de Wersteyn and Henr. dictum at the Aldenbrücken et ceteris scabenis in Homelgeist, the Gerhard Biermanns appear in Reisholt and confess that they have taken eight acres from 'Hadewig de Moers Abdiß ( Abbot ) to S. Claren (Neuss)' belonging to Cappelerhof at Hasholt in addition to ... in hereditary lease " . The seals of the Benrath pastor as well as of Mr. von Eller were attached to this document . The Lords of Eller , also called ' von Elner ' in older documents , were also the owners of the Elbroich estate in the 14th century .

There are no indications for an independent parish or church play in Hassel in the Middle Ages. At that time, Himmelgeist and Urdenbach and, a little later, Benrath , were the most important places in the south of Düsseldorf . In contrast to Hassels, these three are cited more frequently as “Honschaften” (localities) in old documents. A map from the second half of the 19th century only shows individual farms in the Hassel area and no town center is recognizable. Furthermore, the northern area of ​​Hassels originally belonged to Eller . In the old warehouse registers of Benrath, many farms were also listed, which are located in today's Hassels area. Below are some of the farms that are shown on the map and from which old documents with dates are available:

• Gut an der Neuenbrück , location: Wilhelm-Rüther-Straße, documents: In 1393 the Gerresheim chapter gave the estate to Wilhelm Zobbe as a fief , in 1452 the Düsseldorf monastery took over the estate, in 1671 Albert Grüll also managed the Neubrüggen farm :
• The Buscherhof , location: Buscherhofstraße / Lärchenweg, documents: a land surveyor confirmed a “farm near Benrath zum busch” in 1617 , in a purchase contract from 1670 Johannes Bürgel sold the farm to Herman Jansen, in 1918 the farm was acquired by the community of Benrath, which then sold two thirds of the land to DEMAG . The rest was cultivated until these properties were needed in 1959 to expand the cemetery in Hassels . After the barn and stables had already been demolished in 1959, this was also done in 1963 with the house, which was built in 1738.
• Gut Hassels , location: Monument area / Hasselsstraße, documents: In a judgment of a court court in 1368, the following was quoted: "... belonging to Cappeler Hof, near Hasholt (Hassels) next to the Plückmeise farm" , the following 3 goods were listed in the 1671 inventory book: Large Hasseler Gut , Medium Hasseler Gut and Hassels negst der Straße :
• Gut Tönis , location: Tönis- / Graudenzer Straße, 1671 Jacob Speckel was the owner of the farm

In a half-timbered house "Aldebrück", which has since been demolished, archery trials took place until the 17th century, which were led by members of the Eller family . Altenbrückstraße still reminds of this today. The old St. Tönis Chapel (Tönis = Anton), which is said to have been built in the 17th century due to a pig plague, stood in the area of ​​the Donk (old field name; a slight depression). Thus there used to be numerous other farms in the Hassels area, only a few of which are listed above. Today only Tönisstrasse and the St. Antonius Church , which was built in the 1920s and took over their patronage, are reminiscent of Gut Tönis and the St. Tönis Chapel .

In the new version of the Rhenish Rural Community Ordinance on July 23, 1845, Hassels was listed as one of the settlements that belong to the community of Benrath. More information on the history of the rural communities that belonged to the mayor's office of Benrath until the incorporation in 1929 in Düsseldorf is given in the article ( Benrath ).

The largest cemetery in the Benrath community was located in Hassels and is still one of the largest in the south of Düsseldorf. The district is characterized by settlements, starting with settlements from the 1920s in the southern area (Rotdornweg, southern Schönenkamp) through settlements from the 1950s (Erlenweg, Schillstrasse) to the large housing estate Hassels-Nord (Potsdamer Strasse) from the 1970s. Years. Some medium-sized companies and car dealerships have settled in the “In der Steele” industrial park. In the northern center of the village there are also some older, smaller buildings (some with half-timbering), mostly remains of the old courtyards. The Hoxbach used to flow through Hassels , which has been relocated to the eastern edge of the district since the construction of the A59 motorway and the general drainage of this formerly boggy area.

Attractions

The early modern, Catholic St. Antonius Church was built in 1927 by Hermann Schagen as a monumental brick building. The interior of the church was redesigned several times after the Second World War, so that the original furnishings were lost. The former Protestant school is a half-timbered building from 1804; Opposite her is the war memorial of the First World War. The Protestant Adoration Church was built in 1964 by the architect Kleiner and has dignified modern furnishings. Not far from the St. Antonius Church, Am Schönenkamp, ​​the old forester's house with stables is still under monument protection. It was built in 1902 and restored in 1990 and 2000.

sports clubs

Since 2006 there has been a multi-purpose hall with a capacity of approx. 3800 spectators in neighboring Reisholz , in which the games of the former Bundesliga club HSG Düsseldorf (handball) and Giants Düsseldorf (basketball) took place.

The St. Antonius Schützenbruderschaft Düsseldorf-Hassels 1927 eV is one of the largest shooting clubs in the south of Düsseldorf with over 200 members . Every year in May, the riflemen organize the May Fair on Spanger Strasse and try to support and maintain the customs in the district in other ways.
