Geographical location

In the south, the municipality of Bönen joins, in the west the cities of Kamen and Bergkamen .

history

Pelkum emerged from the Schulzenhof of the Abbey ( Deutz ), which had existed since 1018 . After secularization and Napoleonic occupation, it was assigned to the Prussian province of Westphalia and became the Pelkum office. This included Herringen , Bergkamen , healing, over mountains and Rünthe. This made it temporarily the largest office in the province of Westphalia . Since the time it was established, the office had various offices before moving into the office building in 1906. The place developed from 1900 with the onset of mining and the beginning of industrialization of the region to an industrial place on the eastern edge of the Ruhr area. On June 30, 1965, the municipality of Herringen was spun off, followed by the municipalities of Bergkamen, Heil, Overberge and Rünthe on December 31, 1965 . Just two years later, the municipalities of Herringen, Lerche, Pelkum, Sandbochum, Weetfeld and parts of Wiescherhöfen were merged on January 1, 1968 to form the new larger municipality of Pelkum. This 40.65 km² large community with 25,337 inhabitants was dissolved again by the municipal reform on January 1, 1975 and incorporated into the city of Hamm . Until December 31, 1974, Pelkum and Herringen belonged to the Unna district .

Blowout event on June 6, 2018

When drilling for a geothermal project, a methane gas pocket was drilled at a depth of 80 meters. Over a hundred people had to be temporarily evacuated. The gas was finally conducted via a hose to an adjacent field and was able to flow out until the bag was empty after two days. The suspicion that a pit cavity from the coal mining past of the place was drilled has not been confirmed as the coal mining bypassed much deeper.
