Hassel is a northern district of the independent city of Gelsenkirchen in North Rhine-Westphalia and has 15,154 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2018).

geography

Hassel is located in the north of Gelsenkirchen and is bounded in the north by the city of Marl (Polsum district) and in the east by the city of Herten (districts of Westerholt and Bertlich), both in the Recklinghausen district . Hassel borders the Gelsenkirchen districts of Buer and Scholven in the south and west . Together with these two districts, Hassel forms the Gelsenkirchen-Nord district ; they not only occupy the extreme north of Gelsenkirchen, but also the north of the former town of Buer , which was only united with Gelsenkirchen proper in 1928.

The inner-city border is formed by the Nordring road to the south and the A52 motorway and the old B224 federal road to the west . Hassel has direct access to the German motorway network through exit 44 of the A52 motorway .

history

In the 13th century Hassel was one of twelve peasant communities around the village and Freiheit Buer .

The water castle Haus Lüttinghof was built nearby in the 15th century .

Only with increasing industrialization at the end of the 19th century did Hassel's population increase significantly. An essential impetus for this was the sinking of the double shaft system of the Bergmannsglück colliery in the southeast of the district from 1903. In 1905 the Bergmannsglück colliery was put into operation. From then on, Hassel continued to grow. Colliery workers settled in the district and the various colliery settlements emerged over the years and decades that followed. In 1910 the Mährfeld School was built. The Hassel Horticultural Association was founded in 1918. SC Hassel was founded in 1919. On September 17, 1953, the first coke was pressed at the Hassel coking plant. In 1961 the Bergmannsglück colliery was shut down. In 1963 a branch of the city library in Hassel was opened. In 1999 the Hassel coking plant was closed. The Hassel district park has been laid out on the site of the former coking plant since 2017 and is due to be completed in 2019.

religion

Evangelical parishes

The Markuskirche was built in 1953/1954 with 250 seats. The inauguration took place in 1955. Between 1953 and 1955, the "Markuskirche community center" was built on the Biele. Pastor Friese was the first pastor of the community.

There is a large window with red pentagonal panes above the entrance area. They represent the tongues of fire when the Holy Spirit is poured out on the people on Pentecost. On the right side of the altar, another large glass window shows the Evangelist Mark.

With effect from January 1, 1961, the previous "Evangelical Parish of Hassel" was divided into two independent parishes. Since then the "Evangelical St. Luke Parish" and the "Evangelical St. Mark Parish" have existed in Hassel.

In 1961, the Evangelical Lukas parish established its first community center with a kindergarten, the “Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Haus”, which will be the first “open house” for children and young people in North Rhine-Westphalia, with a school, the then secondary school on Eppmannsweg , with meeting rooms for groups, with a library, and with the Lukas Church as the spiritual center and at that time the largest meeting room in the district.

Of the four evangelical parishes (Buer, Hassel-Markus, Hassel-Lukas, Scholven) three merged in 2007 to form the Trinitatis parish.

The Lukas parish remains self-sufficient due to its own ideas and concepts and, after the establishment of the community foundation "Leben in Hassel" (2011), has developed from a Protestant community center to a new district and meeting center in northern Hassel around the settlements of the Eppmannsweges completed.

On November 2, 2014, the Protestant St. Mark's Church was de-dedicated and the church building is to be used for another purpose in the future. The project “Living in the Markuskirche” is planned. An architectural competition was held for this purpose. The designs by zwo + architects in Bochum received 1st prize for the project "Living in the Markuskirche". The structure of the building will then be examined in the Markuskirche and it will be checked whether the necessary building requirements are met.

After extensive renovation work, the “New District Center” (“Das neue Bonni”) was opened in 2015.

Catholic parishes

The Catholic Church of St. Michael on Valentinstrasse in Gelsenkirchen-Hassel is a subsidiary of the Buerer mother parish of St. Urbanus. It began to emerge in 1911, when the number of residents in Hassel rose to 10,000 in 1903 and 1907, as the shafts of the two state mines Bergmannsglück and Westerholt were sunk.

The Roman Catholic parishes were restructured in 2007. With the establishment of the large parish of St. Urbanus, the formerly independent parishes of St. Michael, St. Theresia and St. Pius were dissolved.

The Catholic parish church of St. Theresa was closed on June 17th, 2007 as part of the restructuring of the parishes of the diocese of Essen.

The oldest of the three Catholic churches, St. Michael, in the center of the district, was closed on September 9, 2007 and St. Pius remained as the only Catholic parish in the Hassel district on Eppmannsweg. After the decision to close St. Michael turned out to be a lasting mistake, the church was reopened in June 2014 after extensive modernization work. In August 2014 the Catholic St. Pius Church in Hassel was demolished.

Islamic community

In addition to Christian churches, there is also the El-Aksa Mosque (Mescid-i Aksa Camii), which opened in 1994, in Hassel. It has a minaret about 20 meters high, from which Friday prayers are called.

Sports

The largest and oldest sports club in the district is SC Hassel , founded in 1919, where not only football is played, but also popular and disabled sports. At the end of the 2015/2016 season, SC Hassel's 1st team was promoted back to the Oberliga Westfalen Nord after ten years in the Westphalia League. This makes it the highest-ranked football club in Gelsenkirchen in the amateur league. The SC Hassel stadium is located at Lüttinghofstrasse 3 in 45896 Gelsenkirchen-Hassel. The club's own tennis facility is also located here.

The second traditional club in Hassel is the DJK Arminia Hassel with a football and a popular sports department. It was launched in 1924. The DJK stadium is located at Valentinstrasse 74 in 45896 Gelsenkirchen.

Another football club is the YEG Hassel 1993 eV (Yunus Emre Genclik), which does not yet have its own sports facility and is allowed to use the SC Hassel stadium.

In 1957 the Billiard Club BC Grün-Weiß Hassel 57 eV was founded
