Schalke is a district of Gelsenkirchen . In its current demarcation, it has an area of ​​2,968 square kilometers and 21,370 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2018).

Due to the local football club FC Schalke 04 , the district is at least as well known nationally as the city of Gelsenkirchen, in which this district is located. However, Schalke 04 is playing its games today in the Erle district in the Veltins Arena .

Location and limits

Today's Schalke district is 2.1 kilometers in the north from the Duisburg-Ruhrort-Dortmund railway line , almost 1 km in the north-west from the A 42 , in the west over 400 m from Hans-Böckler-Allee, in the south-west on 1, 5 km from another railway line, to the south to 1 km from Florastrasse and to the east to 1.1 km from Bismarckstrasse.

Today's demarcation vs. old district

The current district of Schalke differs considerably from the district 5270 Schalke, which has remained unchanged (at least) since 1975 . In the south-west, beyond the railway line, around 1.5 km² went to the new district of Feldmark, more than half of which is located in Rotthäuser and Heßlerer (smaller part), but most of the residential areas belong to the old Schalke. The extreme north at Schalke station (settlement around Hubertusstrasse and industrial area east of Kurt-Schumacher-Strasse; 0.2 km²) came to the new district of Schalke-Nord, which was mainly formed from the northeast of Heßler and the west of Bismarck The naming is mainly justified by the fact that the Schalke train station and the Glückauf-Kampfbahn are on it - but both are just within the Hessleran district.

The district in the south between Grenzstrasse and Florastrasse, along with the vocational college for technology and design (BTG) and Zentralbad, has been added to the district of Schalke from the Gelsenkirchen district , otherwise there were only marginal changes to the boundary to Bulmke and an increase of 6 hectares in the northeast of Bismarck.

history

In the past, the name of this place had several spellings: Scedelike, Sceleke, Scadelik, Schadelick, Schalicke, Schalcke, Schalcke . This is how the name Schalke came about over the centuries. The name probably referred to a small settlement and meant something like "area around the skull" or "settlement on a skull-shaped area".

The first documented bearer of this name was a nobleman in 1246: Henricus miles de Schadeleke (Heinrich von Schalke). Later there was also the knight Cesarius van Schedelike. The noble family was named in documents from the Essen monastery , but died out in the male line in the 17th century.

In the 19th century, the peasantry quickly turned into an industrial place. The industrialist Friedrich Grillo played a leading role . From 1848 onwards, several mutation wells were carried out in the Schalke Mark , which suggested that there were rich hard coal deposits in the area around Schalke and the surrounding farmers. In 1861 the various trades are merged to form the Consolidation coal mine .

In 1868 several trades merged under the leadership of Friedrich Grillo, the then director of the Kölner Bergwerks-AG , to form a trade union under mining law . In honor of Otto von Bismarck was union of the coal mine count Bismarck named.

Friedrich Grillo founded the stock corporation for the chemical industry , the Schalker mine and smelter association , and the Schalker ironworks in Schalke in 1872 . A year later he founded the Glas- und Spiegel-Manufaktur AG, also here.

In 1876 the Schalke Gymnasium was founded. On April 1, 1903, the place was incorporated into Gelsenkirchen.

The Catholic St. Josephs Church was built from 1886 to 1894 (architect: Peter Zindel ), which was largely restored to its original state after being destroyed in the war. The old Protestant Church of Peace on Schalker Markt, which was built and destroyed around the same time, was not reconstructed, but replaced by a modern rotunda on Königsberger Straße in 1958/59 (architect: Denis Boniver ).

The Baptist Cemetery Gelsenkirchen is located in Schalke . It has existed since 1901 in the immediate vicinity of the Methodist cemetery and the two Catholic cemeteries.

In 1904 the nationally known football club FC Schalke 04 was founded under the original name Westfalia Schalke. Before the First World War, Schalke was one of the cities shaped by immigration from Masuria ; so it was given the nickname "Klein- Ortelsburg ". Numerous FC Schalke players had Masurian roots.

A technical special feature of the grain silo at the city harbor is from 1949, of the long-established mills operating Mullers Muhle heard and to its premises at Gelsenkirchen's city harbor is located. The 37-meter-high silo was built in 1949 from old submarine hulls and used from then on as a grain or rice store or for peas . Today the grain silo from Müller's Mühle is used exclusively for rice and has a storage volume of approx. 2000  tons, according to the company, as "Germany's largest rice warehouse".
