End (Herdecke)
Ende is a district of the Westphalian city of Herdecke . With around 14,000 inhabitants, Ende is the second settlement center in the northern part of the city of Herdecke, which has a total of almost 23,000 inhabitants.
geography
Ende is completely in the Ardey Mountains . The district includes the former four farmers' communities Kirchende , Ostend , Westende and Gedern .
history
The place was first mentioned around 890 in a tax register of the Werden monastery , the so-called Werdener Urbars as emnithi , which today is mostly interpreted as a wasteland . The entry reads:
- In Emnithi tradidit Goduleb duas familias, unde census XVI mod. ordei et heriscilling VIII den (= from two families in Emnithi Goduleb gave [the monastery] the rent of 16 bushels of barley and an army tax of 8 denarii).
The old name Emnithi , because of the Old Saxon ending -ithi , which was widespread in today's Westphalia and Lower Saxony as a meaningless appendix to a basic word (here Emn- ), suggests that it is a very old settlement. Over the centuries Emnithi became Ennethe , then Ennede and then Ende .
It was not until 1229 that Ende reappeared in a document. The list of properties of the abbess of the Herdecker Stift also mentions the districts of Kircennethe , Westennethe and Ostennethe for the first time and gives information about five mansi called lower courtyards in the Ender area. Three of the farms each had to pay a pig in addition to money as an annual contribution to the monastery, two smaller farms got away with two shillings ( solidi ) each .
In 1351 the Gedern peasantry was first mentioned in the Volmarstein fiefdom register of Diderich von Malingrode . At that time Gedern formed five courtyards. Two of them were in the so-called Obergedern and three in the Talaue directly on the Ruhr . The courtyards were taxable to the Gederner, today Herdecker Haus Mallinckrodt , who in turn served the Lords of Volmarstein.
The residents of Ende also had to suffer from the armed conflicts of the Great Dortmund Feud 1388/89 and the Soest Feud 1444-1449. In history is, among other things, a devastating raid on 22 August 1389, as Dortmunder ravaged troops invaded pillaging a foray into the countryside and burned the farms in the end, stole the cattle and the fields: Sundaegs vur Bartholomei Branten the Dortmund ash to Ennede noted the Dortmund chronicler Dietrich Westhoff.
In a further inventory of the Herdecke monastery in 1483 a total of 9 farms in Ende were listed as taxable. Overall, there were then 24 yards and 15 Kotten what a flock book of Mark comrades is apparent from the same year.
In 1486 the Ender Höfe appear in the treasury of the county of Mark . There 25 farms were listed with their names and their respective tax liability as part of the tax estimate.
In 1817, the districts of Dortmund and Hagen were founded in the newly established Prussian province of Westphalia . Gedern was split up in the course of this reorganization in 1818. While the western part fell to Annen in the Dortmund district, the eastern part of the municipality Ende was assigned to the Hagen district.
During the industrialization of the region in the 19th century, at the end of the day it was largely rural, with logging playing an economic role for mining in the neighboring towns in the Ruhr area .
The former Amt Ende, later the community Ende, comprised the old farming communities Kirchende, Ostend, Westende and Gedern.
On March 13, 1939, the district government complied with one of Ende's wishes to be allowed to join the city of Herdecke , whereupon (East) Gedern also became a part of Herdeckes. In the year it was incorporated into Herdecke, it had 3,766 inhabitants at the end of the year.
Until the 1950 / 60s, the Ender landscape was still dominated by small-scale agriculture. Then an intensive expansion began, especially in residential construction. The Herdecke community hospital was established in Westende in 1969 , thus establishing a new district, so to speak, in which several thousand people now live where previously there were only a few courtyards, cottages and meadows. In Kirch- and Ostend too, in the latter especially in the “villa district” of Ahlenberg , the density of settlements has increased significantly since then. Gedern alone, isolated in the west on the Ruhr and shaped by forests, has hardly changed.
Population development

Attractions
In the center of Kirchende the old Evangelical village church of Kirchende shapes the townscape. The actual building was inaugurated in 1759. The much older tower of the previous building is still standing today. A bronze bell dedicated to St. Urban from 1426 hangs in it . The altar area of the village church with its blue-gold, baroque wooden pulpit is particularly interesting from an art-historical point of view. This was brought to an end as a foundation in 1774 by Friedrich Goswin Freiherr von Vaerst zum Callenberg , the former owner of the Kallenberg house .
In 1909, the artist Fritz Gärtner painted an altarpiece for the 150th anniversary of the church, which shows Jesus in front of the Ender landscape. In addition to the village church itself, the Mallinckrodt house is also shown as the painter's residence at the time. Several grave slabs have also been preserved. The oldest date from 1549 (for Hermann von dem Varst ) and 1590 (for Berent to Ostend Johans Sone ).
Herdeck's oldest inn is located on the edge of the church square. The half-timbered house built in 1606 is structurally almost unchanged. The year of construction is indicated by an inscription above today's entrance door, which unfortunately only survives in fragments: "... live day and night 1606."
Other buildings are the Kallenberg house in Kirchende, the Ende house in Ostend and the Ender tunnel on the Dortmund – Lüdenscheid railway line and the Mallinckrodt house in Gedern .
On April 7, 1925, the foundation stone for a Roman Catholic chapel was laid on the Semberg in Ende. The inauguration of the chapel, built by the Cremer family of the brewery not far from their summer house on their own property and at their own expense, took place on June 21, 1925; The congregation was allowed to use the chapel, but had to carry the structural maintenance - even though the remote location was difficult to reach for the majority of the faithful.
religion
There are several parishes in Ende. The evangelical parish of Ende has the largest number of members , along with the Roman Catholic parish of St. Urban, the Christian community and a Baptist community .
societies
There are two large sports clubs in Ende. The TuS end covers many sports off of athletics over Tae-Kwon-Do to chess. The FC Herdecke-Ende is a pure football club. Most of the training takes place on the Am Kalkheck sports facility , which includes an artificial turf pitch as well as a natural turf. The biggest highlight was a friendly game against Borussia Dortmund in 2008, which was lost at 0:25.
