Drewer (Marl)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Location of Drewer north and south within the city

Drewer was the name of an old peasantry within the Marl office and is today the namesake of two districts ( Drewer-Nord and Drewer-Süd ) in the city of Marl in North Rhine-Westphalia in the Recklinghausen district . Drewer has 17,573 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2018).

location

The district (north and south) is geographically in the middle of the city of Marl. It borders on the Hüls district to the east, the city center to the west and Brassert to the north-west . The Marl Chemical Park is to the north and the Steinernkreuz district to the south (part of Alt-Marl ).

history

The first documentary mention of today's Drewer district can be found around 1150 (Altrogge farm) in the interest obligations of the Oberhof Helderinghausen (near Recklinghausen) in the Rhenish land register of the Reichsabtei Werden (Essen). Since the Oberhof Helderinghausen (in the original text: Halicgeringshuson from 900–911) is recorded as a donation, a higher age of the settlement names of the peasant farmers was assumed, but not confirmed.

There the settlement is recorded under the name "Threviri". The name should mean something like "three houses". The place name changed in later centuries from "De Trivere" to "Drevere" to the current spelling.

Already in documents from the 11th and 12th centuries, the area is referred to as a peasantry , whose main property was located near today's church of St. Heinrich. The family that ran this estate was also called the Drewer family over time . She lost her possessions with the rise of feudal rule in Marl by the von Loë family . Around 1200, the former Drewer estates passed to the von Loe family.

In 1772 the descendants of the von Loe family still owned nine farms in Drewer.

A census in 1827 recorded 86 houses for Marl's largest peasantry, in which 99 families lived.

When the Auguste Victoria colliery was founded in the Hüls district in 1898 , this also had a significant impact on Drewer. Since apartments were now needed for the miners, settlements were built here too. The first apartments were built along Lipper Weg, but more houses were built along Bergstrasse over the next few decades.

Due to the large influx of mining families, it was necessary to build several new schools. In 1908 the forest school was first built on the border with Hüls. It was followed by the Aloyisius School and the Harkort School on Lipper Weg; After the Second World War , in the 1960s, Hans Scharoun planned the (later so-called) Scharoun School in Marl in a new concept .

Since many miners were Catholic, but there was no Catholic church in Drewer, calls for a Catholic church in the district were repeatedly raised in the 1920s. Finally, the St. Josef congregation was founded on Bergstrasse, but initially had to get by without its own church and held services as a makeshift in a former children's home .

In 1930 a settlement was built on the Langehegge road .

In 1935 the so-called Widukindsiedlung was built, a self-sufficiency settlement in which miners, contrary to the usual rental apartments, could buy property and also keep pigs and goats through spacious gardens .

traffic

The district is opened to traffic in the west-east direction from Marl's main road, Bergstrasse . The Lipper Weg has been an important link in the north-south direction for centuries . This road led from the Drewermark to the Lippe farmers and later directly to the Hüls chemical works, today's Marl Chemical Park . In the course of time the initially rather impassable road was expanded, not least because of the industrial settlement. The stop on the GE-Buer Nord – Haltern railway line was closed in 1998.
