Frohlinde is the easternmost district of Castrop-Rauxel . In the west it borders on the Castrop district of Schwerin , in the east on the Dortmund district of Kirchlinde .

Frohlinde was traditionally a typical Westphalian peasantry with a few farms and a flour mill at the mill pond. The majority Catholic population belonged to the St. Lambertus community in Castrop. With the construction of its own church at the beginning of the 20th century, it split from the Castroper community. The Frohlinder Church was placed under the patronage of the Holy Guardian Angels. Around 1910, a few houses were built on Dortmunder Straße independently of the courtyard buildings, and a small school building was built on Hubertusstraße. A town center in the classic sense did not develop in Frohlinde, although a few smaller shops opened.

Until it was incorporated into Castrop-Rauxel, Frohlinde, like Merklinde, belonged to the Castrop district until 1902 and to the Rauxel district from 1902 to 1926. The incorporation to Castrop-Rauxel in the 1920s was rejected by many Frohlinders, because historically they felt they belonged to Dortmund. Nevertheless, Frohlinde was incorporated into Castrop-Rauxel on April 1, 1926. A small part of the community (32 ha) came to Westerfilde .

In the 1960s and 1970s there were still numerous small shops in Frohlinde like

  • Groceries Will, Groceries Steinberg
  • Kentner shoe store, Weckermann shoe store
  • Reiterer drugstore
  • Butcher's shop Henke, butcher's shop Schäfer
  • Alfred Diegel milk shop
  • Housewares Hüning

There were also numerous restaurants such as Haus Ratte , Zum alten Fritz and Haus Gesmann , which housed a post office in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1956 a center for the Catholic Schoenstatt Movement was established in Frohlinde . Archbishop of Paderborn, Becker , appeared on the occasion of the 50th anniversary in October 2006 . The construction of new residential areas between Schwerin and Frohlinde began in the mid-1970s. The streets created in this context were named after the Castrop twin cities. In the 1980s, Frohlinde became more and more a sought-after and expensive residential area in Castrop-Rauxel. Because of this and because of the golf course opened in 1990, Frohlinde no longer has any of its former rural charm. Little has remained of the once numerous shops and restaurants.
