history

The current name of the district goes back to the colliery colonies of the Graf Bismarck colliery built around 1870 , named after the Prussian Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck . With this and other mines the economic upswing and population growth of the community brewing community began . This belonged to the Wattenscheid office until 1868 , then to the Gelsenkirchen office, from 1877 to the Schalke office in the Bochum district and from 1887 as a separate office to the newly founded Gelsenkirchen district .

On February 6, 1900, the community of Braubauerschaft was renamed Bismarck . On April 1, 1903, it was incorporated into the new city of Gelsenkirchen.

The Graf Bismarck colliery was closed in 1966. After the mining merger of the Consolidation colliery (called Consol) with the Hugo colliery in 1993, the last remaining mine was gradually abandoned by 1995, which led to the loss of 4,000 jobs.

Architecture and culture

The double strut frame of the Consol colliery

The double strut frame in half-timbered construction over the central conveyor shaft 9 of the Consol colliery from 1922 is today, like the neighboring headframe over shaft 4, a listed building. Today the area is used culturally, including by the Consol Theater for children's and youth theater performances . This goes back to the Social City NRW funding program from 1995 to 2005 in cooperation with the Gelsenkirchen Bismarck / Schalke-Nord district office.

The Evangelical Comprehensive School Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck was built between 1999 and 2004 as a copy of a city in wood-clad pavilions. The ideas for this came partly from the students in the district and were implemented by the architects "Plus + Bauplanung, Hübner, Forster, Eggler". Professor Peter Hübner (born 1939) trained as an orthopedic shoemaker and carpenter. In 1979 he received a scholarship at the Villa Massimo in Rome . From 1980 to 2007 he taught and researched at the Institute for Building Construction and Design at the University of Stuttgart .

In the district of Bismarck there is also the listed Bleckkirche as well as the neighboring Zoom Erlebniswelt and the historic railway depot .
