Bredeney was first mentioned on the occasion of the inauguration of a church in Werden on November 10, 875. In 1036, Abbot Gerold had a chapel built in Bredeney in honor of the Most Holy Trinity. Adolf von der Mark built the House of Baldeney in 1226, today known as Schloss Baldeney (Lehnsgut der Abbey Werden ).

The old town hall by the architect Oskar Kunhenn from 1902 was the seat of the mayor's office of the municipality of Zweihonnschaften , consisting of the towns of Bredeney and Schuir , which existed since April 3, 1875 and on September 1, until it was incorporated into the city of Essen on April 1, 1915 1902 was raised to mayorship. In 1910 the community of Haarzopf was added to the mayor's office. After 1915 the town hall building served the city of Essen for many years. Civil weddings were possible here until the mid-1960s. A school for occupational therapy of the Rhineland Regional Association (LVR) has been housed in the building since 1982 . On February 14, 1985, the house with the exterior and interior architecture designed in the neo-renaissance style was entered in the list of monuments of the city of Essen. In February 2019, the City Council of Essen decided to sell the town hall to a Bredeney entrepreneur who would like to renovate it, taking into account the preservation of historical monuments, and use it as an office building. The old council chamber remains open to the public. The occupational therapy school located there will move out in 2020.

The two mayors were Georg Gustav Eduard Vorberg from April 21, 1903 to 1910 and Walter Heinrich Maria Sachsse from June 23, 1910 to April 1, 1915. Unterbredeney was incorporated into the city of Werden in 1915 .

From 1895 the Brandenbusch settlement was built in the immediate vicinity of Villa Hügel by Friedrich Alfred Krupp according to the plans of Samuel Marx. Up to 600 servants and employees of the Krupp family lived here. This settlement, similar to the settlements Altenhof I and II , was built in a cottage style, with individual half-timbered houses today under monumental protection. The settlement's evangelical church was built in 1906 by Karl Nordmann with a broken stone base and wooden barrel vault. In 1914 the last construction work in the Brandenbusch settlement was over.

Despite the establishment of smaller collieries such as Zeche Flöte , Zeche Sportwetten , Grunewald and Prinz Georg, and three large brickworks, Bredeney became a preferred residential area with a number of town houses.

coat of arms

Blazon : "A silver (white) bar in green covered with a black alternating battlement bar." The coat of arms was designed by Kurt Schweder and never had an official character. At the end of the 1980s, the heraldist created coats of arms for all of Essen's districts. They have meanwhile been well received by the Essen population. The green shield area stands for “Aue”, derived from “Bredenoye”, “Bredanaia” or “Bredonoia”. The pinnacle bar comes from the coat of arms of the Lords of Bottlenberg .

Infrastructure

The volume of traffic is sometimes high, as the federal road 224 runs through the Bredeney district and there is a direct connection to the A 52 . Nevertheless, Essen's quiet residential areas are also located here.

The first tram passed through Bredeney as early as 1897. The public transport today supplies the district with the tram lines 107 and 108 . In addition, the bus routes 142, 169 and 194 as well as the night express bus routes NE8, NE9 and NE13 of the Ruhrbahn operate .

The Villa Hügel as the former seat of the industrial family Krupp , as well as the family cemetery Krupp and the Baldeneysee are worth seeing . The Wildgatter Heissiwald is located in the Heissiwald to the south .

In Essen-Bredeney there are two Protestant, one Catholic and one Franco-German kindergarten. There is also the Graf-Spee-Grundschule and the Meisenburg-Grundschule. The grammar school Grashof (former Lyzeum Bredeney, built 1929–1930 by Alfred Fischer ) and the grammar school Goetheschule are available as secondary schools .

geography

Geographical location

Bredeney is located in the southern Ruhr area on the Ruhr heights . In terms of its natural surroundings, Bredeney is located at the transition from the Westenhellweg to the Ruhr Valley as part of the Bergisch-Sauerland lowlands . In the east, the district has a share of the Stadtwald, an extensive forest area on the Ruhr heights on the border with the Essen district of the same name. To the west, above the Ruhr, the Stadtwald continues through the Kruppwald.

Waters

In the south, the Ruhr and Baldeneysee form the natural border between the district and Werden and Fischlaken. In Bredeney the Borbecker Mühlenbach rises on the northern flank of the Ruhr heights . Its source is in the western part of Bredeney in several sieves . The Borbeck Mühlenbach flows in a northerly direction towards the Emscher . It flows through the Grugapark and feeds there Margarethensee and Waldsee. The Wolfsbach also rises in western Bredeney, on the south side of the Ruhr heights . It flows in a southerly direction and flows into the Ruhr shortly after the district boundary to Werden. Before that, it absorbs the water of the Asseybach , the course of which forms the district boundary to Schuir. The district boundary continues along the Wolfsbach.
