history

Buchholz emerged from individual farmsteads in the area of ​​the Huckinger Gemarkenwald, which mainly consisted of beeches and was part of the old Duisburg Reichswald. The Buchholzer Mark bordered in the north on the forest belonging to Duisburg, in the west on the Rhine (Eichelskamp) and on the Klevian enclave of Wanheim-Angerhausen . The oldest surviving wisdom on the border towards the Klevian side dates back to 1489. Up until the 15th century there was only one farm in the area, the Kirchmannshof in the east of Buchholz, which was demolished in 1961/62. The place Buchholz can be spoken of from 1830. With the clearing of part of the forest from 1820 onwards, arable land was created for agricultural use and settlement. Only the beech forest on Wedauer Straße and parts of the area that has included the Duisburg Forest Cemetery (known at times as the New Cemetery ) since 1923 are all that remains of the original forest .

With the rapidly growing population at the end of the 19th century, the establishment of a separate parish became necessary. Until 1910 the mother parish of Bucholz was the Catholic parish of St. Peter and Paul in Huckingen. It was not until 1900 that a parish rectorate was set up in Buchholz, which was elevated to a parish in 1910. In the same year the first service took place in the new Buchholz parish church with the name of the apostle Judas Thaddäus. Before that, a small emergency church had existed since 1900. The Protestant residents attended church services in Wanheim-Angerhausen and, since 1923, in Wedau .

The first school on Schulstrasse, today Münchener Strasse, was inaugurated on August 18, 1868. The first students were 48 boys and 50 girls. In 1914 there were already 1,016 students in 17 classes. When the French occupied the Ruhr area in 1921, the school was occupied by French troops. In 1929 Buchholz left the Düsseldorf district and was incorporated into the Duisburg district.

traffic

Buchholz has a connection to the A 59 , which used to end in Buchholz when coming from the north. As a result, the ascent is only possible in the north and the exit only from this direction. The motorway was later extended to the south. In the meantime, at the Duisburg-Süd motorway junction, it merges with the B 8n leading to Düsseldorf . During the expansion, however, no additional entrances or exits were created in Buchholz, so that the motorway connection in Großenbaum can be used from the south or to the south .

In addition, Buchholz is connected to Duisburg city center via the S-Bahn line 1 and the U-Bahn line 79 . Several bus routes connect Buchholz with other parts of the city.
