history

In the 19th century there were very few Protestant families in the districts of Huckingen, Hüttenheim, Ungelsheim, Mündelheim and Serm. Only with the advance of industrialization, e.g. B. the settlement of the steel company Schulz-Knaudt in Hüttenheim at the beginning of the 20th century, a small number of Protestant families came to Hüttenheim and Huckingen. For a long time, the Huckingen Protestant families belonged to the Großenbaum parish , where there was already a large number of Protestant believers. The Protestant Hüttenheimers, on the other hand, belonged to the community of Wanheim-Angerhausen , which was the mother / main church for all small communities in the south of Duisburg. H. for Wedau-Bissingheim, Großenbaum- Buchholz and Hüttenheim-Huckingen.

In 1937, the Huckingers moved from the Großenbaumer to the Hüttenheimer community, where lively community activities had already developed and continued to develop, e.g. B. through the Christian Association of Young People , the church choir (founded in 1919) or the trombone choir (from 1950).

Former Protestant parish hall Emmaus in Mündelheim

In 1927 the foundation stone was laid and in 1928 the inauguration of the Protestant church and the parish hall in Hüttenheim at Klettenweg 5. At that time, the services in Huckingen were still held in the Catholic elementary school on Düsseldorfer Landstrasse. In 1953 the Protestant church and the parish hall in Huckingen at Angerhauser Strasse 91 were built. In 1956, when the large community of Wanheim-Angerhausen was divided, Hüttenheim-Huckingen became an independent Protestant community and, like all communities in the south of Duisburg, part of the District Synod of Duisburg- South. In 1959 a church and community hall in Ungelsheim was inaugurated at Blankenburger Strasse 103. In 1983 the Emmaus parish hall in Mündelheim, Korbmacherstraße 2, was inaugurated .

Because of the reduced membership numbers and income from church taxes, the Resurrection Congregation had to largely give up two of the locations. In 2003/04 the parish hall on Klettenweg was sold, where the parish used the former rectory for a few years. In addition, the Emmaus parish hall was sold in 2009.
