The southeast district of the city of Essen , together with the west , north , east , south and city ​​center forms the city ​​center .

character

The southeast quarter consists for the most part of dense residential areas. The main streets are the Steeler Straße leading through the district to Steele , the Kurfürstenstraße, and the Ruhrallee south of it. The trademark of the district is the water tower on Steeler Strasse, adjacent to Diether-Krebs-Platz (formerly Ostpark). Occasionally, it was even suggested that the district be renamed the Essen Water Tower . Nearby is the church of St. Michael am Wasserturm , whose predecessor building stood during the war at the point where the A40 is today on Wächtlerstrasse . In the district there is the elementary school at the water tower and adjoining it with the UNESCO school in Essen, an advanced high school. On Steeler Straße there is the art-house cinema Eulenspiegel, which opened in 1955 and is a listed building . The New Synagogue from 1959 is located in the south of the district .

The southern part of the Südostviertel district is formed by the Moltkeviertel , which is interesting in terms of urban planning and architecture and which is partly located in the Huttrop area. To delimit the two parts of the city and the Moltkviertel, see the link below to "ESSENS BUNTE SEITE". Otto Bartning built his first church in Germany (consecrated in 1910) for the Old Lutheran Parish (today SELK) at Moltkeplatz and later planned the Church of the Resurrection, built in 1929 on the corner of Manteuffel- and Steubenstrasse, one of the most important models of modern church building in Central Europe. In 1912, construction of the Viktoria-Gymnasium on Kurfürstenplatz began in the Moltkeviertel . It was named after Viktoria Luise von Prussia and was inaugurated as a girls' high school on April 23, 1914.

On the south-eastern edge of the district is the Ostfriedhof , where numerous personalities from Essen's history were buried or reburied from the former cemetery at Kettwiger Tor , which was abandoned in 1955 for the A40 motorway.

The house of the former Federal President Gustav Heinemann is located at Schinkelstrasse 34. He lived in it from January 1, 1936 until his death.

population

On March 31, 2020, 12,907 people lived in the southeast quarter.

Structural data of the population in the southeast quarter (as of March 31, 2020):

  • Proportion of population under 18-year-olds: 17.1% (Essen average: 16.2%)
  • Population of at least 65-year-olds: 13.4% (Essen average: 21.5%)
  • Proportion of foreigners: 36.2% (Essen average: 16.9%)

Identity of the district

Due to the abstract naming of the southeast quarter, many residents, as well as some retailers and restaurateurs based in the district, feel they belong to the neighboring district of Huttrop. In addition, there is a dense residential development, which does not reveal any district boundaries. It runs between Huttrop and the southeast quarter on Wörthstrasse, Spichernstrasse and Herwarthstrasse. For the delimitation of the two parts of the city and the Moltkviertel see also the link below to "ESSENS BUNTE SEITE". The Essen media also sometimes relocate the district to Huttrop in their reporting on the southeast quarter. The junction to the A40 motorway in the center of the southeast quarter is also incorrectly called Essen-Huttrop . In 2013 the place-name sign was put up at the motorway exit with the correct designation Essen district Südostviertel .

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the Essen city center

Blazon : "In blue an oblique left golden (yellow) sword, accompanied above and below by three golden (yellow) balls."

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 sword as an attribute of the city patrons Cosmas and Damian makes the reference to the Essen city coat of arms. The golden balls symbolize the six districts city ​​center , north quarter , east quarter , southeast quarter, south quarter and west quarter .
