Location and description

The Hasseldelle is located in the northeast of the Solingen district of Mitte. The large housing estate is located on a hilltop above the Kohlfurth and was built to the east of the Erbenhäuschen on the ring-shaped extension of Hasselstrasse and the two spur roads Dietrichstrasse and Rolandstrasse. The Wupper flows at the eastern foot of the mountain .

In the middle of the road ring are the largest high-rise buildings in the settlement, nested. In between there are playgrounds and access roads. A few more high-rise buildings are located on the corner plot from Hassel to Dietrichstrasse. In the outer ring as well as on Rolandstrasse there are partly multi-storey residential buildings and single-family houses or bungalows. In the large housing estate, the two side streets of the street ring, Rolandstrasse and Dietrichstrasse, got their name from the layout plan for the naming of streets in Solingen after the two legendary figures Dietrich von Bern and Count Roland in Franconia .

etymology

Origins

The origins of the settlement of the Hasseldelle lie in the small court of the same name north of the large housing estate. Along the Hasseldeller Weg there are still some Bergische half-timbered houses that belong to the court. In the map by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, Hasseldelle is not yet shown, but the nearby Erbenhäuschen estate is . The original Hasseldelle residential area is unlabeled in 1824 on the topographical survey of the Rhineland , as well as on the Prussian first survey from 1844. On the Solingen topographic map 1: 25,000, the residential area is labeled even before the construction of the large housing estate of the same name from the 1960s.

Construction of the large housing estate

After the savings and construction association had a large share in the provision of inexpensive living space in Solingen in the post-war years, it experienced what was probably the worst crisis in its post-war history from 1967. The association made a name for itself for two years with the so-called Edler affair , in which the then managing director Werner Edler was accused of infidelity . The legal battles finally ended in 1971 with a settlement.

Badly hit by the Edler affair , the savings and construction association did not undertake any new construction work until the end of the 1960s. Small new building projects were then started before construction of the high-rise estate on Hasseldelle began in 1970. At the eastern end of Hasselstrasse, on a hilltop above Kohlfurth, the association had a total of 19 three- to eight-story residential buildings and high-rise buildings with 192 apartments built on the extended Hassel and Dietrichstrasse by 1972. The area of the settlement served as arable land until the start of construction . The Bremer Treuhand had an additional 400 apartments built in the newly emerging estate.

The apartments in the estate were equipped with above-average modern equipment for the time, so all apartments already had central heating and double-glazed windows, living rooms and kitchens were enlarged compared to earlier SBV building projects, and in larger apartments, the bathroom and toilet were spatially separated from each other. Despite the structural advantages, the first residents were plagued by the inadequate infrastructure . Initially there was no bus connection, shopping, leisure facilities or kindergartens. With the support of the savings and construction association, some residents of the Hasseldelle formed an association that fought for more infrastructure in the Hasseldelle. In 1988 the association Wir in der Hasseldelle e. V. , who continues to stand up for his settlement to this day. The result was a Beroma store, as well as the club house on Rolandstrasse, where various club activities take place.
