Freisenbruch is a district in the east of the city of Essen .

character

Freisenbruch is bounded in the west by Steele , where the next central center is located, in the north by Leithe , in the east by Wattenscheid and in the south by Horst .

Freisenbruch is predominantly characterized by residential developments. The Bergmannsfeld was built from 1966 as a large housing estate made of prefabricated parts. Like similar settlements in neighboring districts, it emerged from the housing shortage at the time and the steady growth expected at the time. Today around 5000 people live in Bergmannsfeld alone. As part of the major Oststadt construction project , it was awarded the Deubau Construction Exhibition Prize .

Today's Bergmannsbusch park adjoins it to the west. The farmer Bergmann reforested the area at the beginning of the 20th century. He used to own a farm in this area. The Bergmann family, proven until 1412, gave the settlement and the park its name.

West of the Bergmannsfeld is the Oststadt community center , the cornerstone of which was laid in early December 1973 and which went into operation in March 1976. The community center, previously mainly requested by the citizens of Bergmannsfeld, as a common center and place of exchange, was the first of its kind in North Rhine-Westphalia . It is open to everyone and mainly offers social services, often aimed at young people. It also houses an event hall with a stage and a branch of the city library. After extensive renovations in 1982, it was last renovated in 2011 with the help of the economic stimulus package II . It has been a listed building since July 2019.

The eastern Eiberg , part of which belongs to Freisenbruch, is more rural with numerous agricultural areas.

With the Oststadt swimming center , Freisenbruch has an indoor and outdoor pool, the outdoor pool being one of the largest pools in the city of Essen. Freisenbruch has a DRK senior center. Every Carnival Sunday in the district there is a separate carnival parade, which is preceded by the goose riding of the local goose rider association.

The school facilities include the further education college of the city of Essen / Abendrealschule Eiberg , which replaced the secondary school on Sachsenring in the building complex in 2009 . Your previous seat was in the Bertha Suttner Realschule in Rüttenscheid . A community elementary school is located in Morungenweg, and a municipal Catholic elementary school, the Antoniusschule, founded in 1893, in Im Haferfeld. The primary school opened in Bergmannsfeld in Erasmusstraße in 1969 was threatened with closure according to plans by the school administration from 2010, but is still in operation.

history

In 1047, a register of the Werden monastery mentions the Freisenbruch farmers, through whom the old trade route, the Hellweg , ran.

Freisenbruch and Eiberg, like Horst , belonged to the Königssteele office. On April 1, 1919, the three places were incorporated into Königssteele . Königssteele was united with the then town of Steele in 1926 and has belonged to the Prussian Rhine Province ever since . Freisenbruch was incorporated into the city of Essen with Steele in 1929.

The original community area of ​​Eiberg was passed in part to the city of Steele, the city of Wattenscheid and the city of Bochum as a result of the law on the new regulation of the municipal boundaries in the Rhenish-Westphalian industrial districts of 1926 . Today most of Eiberg belongs to Freisenbruch. Other parts belong to the Essen district of Horst, Sevinghausen (Stalleicken), Höntrop and Dahlhausen .

Mining in the Freisenbruchs area

Eiberg colliery , memorial

In the far west of Freisenbruch, at what is now Essen-Steele Ost train station , the Hünninghauser Erbstolln was in operation between 1725 and 1815. In 1728 the Hünninghauserbank colliery was built northeast of it . It was shut down in 1823 and consolidated four years later with the Einigkeit colliery , which was formed from other small mines .

In 1756 the largest colliery in the east of Essen, the Eintracht Tiefbau colliery , was put into operation. The former shaft 2 - the Heintzmann shaft - was at the end of today's Alleestraße. In addition to a few remaining buildings, there is also a coking coal tower, which is rare in the Ruhr area and therefore historically interesting. Shafts 1 and 3 were located in the southwest of Freisenbruch and were closed in 1925 due to a lack of minable coal reserves.

In 1836 the Fridolin colliery in the Eiberger area started operations. From since 1858 working colliery Jacob was born in 1882 belonging to Freise fraction Eibergs the mine Eiberg to the 1899 foot the bill Fridolin consolidated. The Eiberg colliery was closed in 1914. Between 1951 and 1968, the Eiberg shaft was mined again. In its place there is now a row house settlement.

Freisenbrucher Hut

From 1860 on, the New Scotland union, founded in 1856, built the Freisenbrucher Hütte , a smelting works with two blast furnaces for iron production, on the Dahlhauser Straße 103 property, which today belongs to Essen-Horst . This later traded as Union Horst and finally, after the incorporation, as Eisenwerk Steele ; The neighboring bus stop is reminiscent of the latter name to this day. From 1904 to 1993, the Vereinigte screw works produced on this area .

coat of arms

Blazon of the Freisenbruch coat of arms: "In gold (yellow) from a broken rafter in three rows of red and silver (white), three fanned black reeds with green stems."

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 coat of arms is a so-called speaking coat of arms ; the three cattails, together with the broken Brandenburg chess rafter, represent the part of the name bruch (moor, swampy terrain). The Freisenbruch farm ( Friesenbroke ) was subject to property tax in the county of Mark .

Furthermore, there is its own coat of arms of the Oststadt, which belongs to Freisenbruch, and of the Eiberg, which in parts belongs to Freisenbruch :
