Hackländer Platz
The Hackländer space is located on the national highway 54 in Carée Münster, Rückert, Grisar- and Small Grisarstraße in District Downtown North (North city) from Dortmund . It is one of the oldest squares outside the historic city walls and was laid out in the same epoch of urban development as Borsigplatz , Nordmarkt and Steinplatz (today Freiherr-vom-Stein-Platz ).
The address "Am Hackländer Platz 8" is one of the two addresses of the Catholic Church of St. Getrudis . Since the "Gerdrudiskapelle" was built in 1916 and the actual church building in 1927/28, it can be assumed that the Hackländer Platz was largely built over for this. It has largely disappeared from the cityscape. The “Hackländerplatz” bus stop of the Dortmund public utility company , the name of a pharmacy and the Hackländer Hof restaurant and restaurant still remember him .
History of origin
In 1858 the magistrate appointed a city architect for the north city, which was growing rapidly due to industrialization . Ludwig König introduced the first building regulations. His successor Brandhoff planned the northern part of the city as a right-angled street network with eleven “decorative squares” to loosen up the residential areas. Of these, apart from Hackländer Platz, only Borsigplatz, Nordmarkt and Steinplatz were realized.
Name story
The name can be derived from the industrialist Gustav Hackländer who worked in Dortmund in the middle of the 19th century, the German writer Friedrich Wilhelm Hackländer or from the agricultural place name "Hackland".
