The Heimat- und Bürgererverein Wattenscheid ( HBV ) is a non-profit history association for Wattenscheid , which is now the western district of Bochum .

history

The association was founded on March 18, 1970 on the initiative of the Wattenscheid secondary school teacher Franz-Werner Bröker (1923-2013) originally as the Heimatverein Wattenscheid eV.

The association reported on the occasion of the North Rhine-Westphalian regional reform and the incorporation to Bochum in the daily press and at various political levels in order to advocate for a communal independence of Wattenscheid. This led to the founding of the citizens' initiative Independent Wattenscheid in 1974 , which carried out the first referendum in North Rhine-Westphalia through the association “Aktion Bürgerwille eV” and the Aktion Bürgerwille campaign of the same name . In 1975 the association was renamed the Heimat- und Bürgererverein Wattenscheid eV in order to take into account the political goal as well as the local history. Despite the failure of the referendum, the association, as a member of the Kettwig Circle, continued to represent demands for re-congregation.

The association was co-founder in 1974 of the folklore museum Helfs Hof , which was bought by the city of Wattenscheid and now operated jointly with the city of Bochum. It looks after it professionally and is responsible for the exhibitions. The association produced the first inventory list for the Wattenscheid list of monuments .

The establishment of the Wattenscheid mining hiking trail , which was opened in October 1992, also goes back to the initiative, planning and design of the association. Today it is part of the Route of Industrial Culture as the “Early Industrialization” theme route .

In 1992 the association co-founded the “Round Table against Xenophobia and Right-Wing Radicalism”, organizes lectures and tours on historical and local history topics and is involved in the city's cultural life.

Publications

"Der Wattenscheider" acts as the association's body . The association is also the publisher of around 30 publications and books, including standard works “Illustrierte Stadtgeschichte”, “Wattenscheider Street Book”, “Wattenscheider Postal History”, “History of the Wattenscheider Hospital”, “History of the Tram System”, “Coal and Steel determined her Life "and editor of an anthology" Wattenscheider Stories ".
