Schönebeck is a western part of the city of Essen . It is bordered in the west by Bedingrade and Mülheim an der Ruhr - Dümpten , in the north by Borbeck-Mitte and Bochold , in the east by Altendorf and Frohnhausen (Borbecker Mühlenbach) and in the south by Mülheim an der Ruhr-Winkhausen (Rosendeller Bach). Schönebeck lies above the Winkhauser Tal.

history

The name Schönebeck has been officially handed down since 1795. At that time the place was a peasantry with 259 inhabitants. Since September 1, 1808, it has belonged to the Borbeck mayor's office , which was incorporated into Essen in 1915. Like the rest of the city, which is characterized by mining and heavy industry, Schönebeck also suffered severe damage in the Second World War . During this time, a six-story air raid tower bunker for 250 people was built on Frintroper Strasse as part of the immediate Führer program from 1940 to 1941. It was placed under monument protection in 2014 .

Today Borbeck District IV - with the districts of Bedingrade , Bergeborbeck , Bochold , Borbeck-Mitte , Dellwig , Frintrop , Gerschede , Schönebeck - has around 80,000 inhabitants.

Mining history

Since the beginning of industrialization, Schönebeck has been shaped by hard coal mining. The beginnings of modern mining in the Ruhr area in Schönebeck go back to the beginning of the 1830s, when the industrialist Franz Haniel in Schönebeck managed to break through the marl cover for the first time . In addition to the Franz mining shaft and the Kronprinz shaft, the Wolfsbank shaft was built north of the terrace cemetery and was closed again in 1896. From 1901 to 1903, the Kronprinz shaft on Aktienstraße was re-sunk as shaft 3 of the Rosenblumendelle colliery in Mülheim . It was used to transport people and materials. Coal did not come to light here. During the time of National Socialism , the Mülheimer Bergwerk-Verein, as the owner of the colliery, employed foreign forced laborers for whom a warehouse had been set up at 222 Heißener Straße. In the course of the mining crisis, the colliery was shut down in 1961.

Workers' settlements

Workers' settlements, which have been preserved in their core, are a reminder of the district's industrial tradition. You are on Altendorfer Strasse / Flybuschweg / Riekenbank / Kreftenscheerweg and Rötterhoven / Aktienstraße. The settlement on the Ardelhütte / Schacht-Kronprinz-Straße / Schönebecker Straße runs under the name Bergbaukolonie Schönebeck e. V. a socially oriented club life geared towards the cultivation of mining culture.

Siepentäler

In terms of urban planning, the past few decades have been determined by the struggle to preserve the Siepentäler , which is unique in the northern Ruhr area and which are repeatedly threatened by other than green planning. In particular, the Winkhauser Tal nature reserve, which spans cities, has held its own against motorway planning (Ostfriesenspieß Emden-Bottrop-Bonn) as well as commercial, landfill and other construction projects. In 1984 the 32.9 hectare valley trains Schönebecker Schlucht , Kamptal and Winkhauser Tal were placed under nature protection because of their ecological importance. On the Mülheim side, the Winkhauser valley was placed under protection after the turn of the millennium.

coat of arms

Blazon : "Divided into red and green by a golden (yellow) wave bar, above a golden (yellow), the field filling, twelve-ray sun with a silver (white) corona ."

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.

Meaning: The earlier spellings "Sconenbeke" and "Schonenbeke" provide a clear interpretation of the name; what is meant is the beautiful brook. The coat of arms indicates the name. The shining sun stands for "beautiful" and the wave bar for the stream "Schönebecke" in the Schluchttal nature reserve.
