History and appearance

Hellern was originally a village in the district of Osnabrück and was incorporated into Osnabrück on July 1, 1972 as part of the regional reform . The city of Osnabrück justified this with the lack of building land in the city.

In 1973 a zoning plan was drawn up for Hellern . An industrial park was built between the federal highway 30 and the Rheiner Landstrasse. Four high-rise buildings were to be built on 5 hectares on Töpferstrasse. After this idea was vehemently rejected, the city only wanted to build an eight-story house. Today there are several three to four-story residential buildings on Töpferstrasse. When the city had built a school, a kindergarten and a community hall, the plans went in the direction of a town center, but there was a lack of shops to create a town center.

There are two churches in Hellern: the Evangelical Lutheran. Martinskirche and the cath. St. Wiho Church. In the industrial area Hellern-Nord are u. a. the former buw Holding , today the German headquarters of the US group Convergys , and the mail center 49 of Deutsche Post AG are located.
