Dilldorfer Höhe
The Dilldorfer Höhe is a housing estate in the Essen district of Kupferdreh . It was built in 1999 on the site of the Ruhrland barracks, which was closed in 1994 . The settlement is not, as the name suggests, in the district of Dilldorf, but in the area of the former Honnschaft Hinsbeck (Ruhr) .
history
On July 14, 1995, Allbau AG bought back the 169,679 square meter site of the former Ruhrland barracks. Together with the planning office of the city of Essen and the citizenship of Kupferdreh e. V called on Allbau AG the residents of Kupferdreher to look for a suitable name for the new residential area. The result was Dilldorfer Höhe .
The Allbau aimed for the greatest possible participation of the citizens of Kupferdreher. The local part design working group , to which representatives of the Kupferdreher clubs, parties and institutions belong, were able to influence the planning for the new residential area. Representatives of the Kupferdreher district council and the citizenship were also members of the jury of the urban planning ideas competition which Allbau AG and the city of Essen are putting out nationwide on July 1st. The jury chose the design by the architects Damagnez, Söder and Mann from Frankfurt / Main from among the 120 proposals.
On March 20, 1999, citizens had the first opportunity to visit the new development area. The barracks had been completely torn down. The laying of the foundation stone for the first construction phase took place on August 6, 1999. The City Council of Kupferdreh announced an ideas competition to find the street names. The jury was unanimous in favor of using the street names as a reminder of the historical places. Some names were selected, proposed to the district council and some of them were also taken into account in the award.
The history of the Dilldorfer Höhe was published on May 7, 2006 by the Bürgerschaft Kupferdreh e. V. represented with a memorial plaque. The memorial plaques are part of the Essen Monument Paths project .
Street names and their meaning
- Dilldorfer Allee - leads as the main bypass over the Dilldorfer Höhe (on the old route of the Franzosenweg).
- At the dolmen - reminiscent of the Neolithic stone grave, the stone box from Essen-Kupferdreh , at the entrance to Dilldorfer Höhe.
- Am Wieselbach - The Wieselbach flows through a depression west of the Dilldorfer Höhe and flows into the Baldeneysee.
- Phönixberg - former name of the hill due to the former Phönixhütte.
- Ruhrlandbogen - in memory of the Ruhrland barracks. The former barracks gate, which was originally located near the dolmen, has now been set up at the entrance to the playground.
- Tholshof - the buildings of the Tholhof are still today above the intersection of Kupferdreh - Werden - Velbert. In earlier times, the courtyard belonged to the greater part of the area in the current development area.
- Zum Felsbüschken - The wooded depression west of the new building area is called Felsbüschken by the older citizens . That this name for the small wood goes back to the previous owner of the Tholhof Feldhaus (around 1876) - in parlance, Feldhaus Büschken became Fel (d) sbüschken - is possible, but not proven.
- Grunsbeckhof - This courtyard was also called Greuelshof. It was roughly where the Frauenstein 168 house stands today. The name Greuelsberg as a district still reminds of this.
- Ruhrwinkel - is of no further importance. However, a local name Ruhrbergh was mentioned in the registers of the Werden monastery from 1474 to 1477 . This also resulted in the Ruhrbergshof , which was located on the other side of today's motorway (behind the driveway on Dilldorfer Straße) and was also used for arable farming.
- Frauenstein - The Frauenstein is also mentioned in 1474 as a place name in the registers of leased and rented property of the Werden monastery . The street that runs directly along the new development area was named that way as early as 1937.
- Hellersberg - The Hellersberg-Hof was just outside the Dilldorfer Höhe (today Frauenstein 200). The Werden abbot Johann Heinrich Hellersberg was born on the Hellersberg farm in 1716 and was ordained abbot of Werden in 1774. The street Hellersberg, which is a long way from the courtyard, was named that way in the 1950s.
