geography
Spatial location
The municipality of Holzwickede is bordered in the north by the Dortmund ridge on the old federal highway 1 and the Dortmund airport and in the south by the Ruhr . To the west, the south-east Dortmund and Schwerte form the border, and to the east of Holzwickede are Unna and the western districts of Fröndenberg / Ruhr .
The ridge of the Ardey Mountains runs through the municipality . The Emscher has its source in Holzwickede.
The lowest point of the municipality is in the northeast, where the Holzwickeder Bach leaves the municipality. The highest point carries a radio system of the Bundeswehr and is on the western part of the Ardeys in Hengsen.
Districts
The districts of Hengsen (8.03 km²) and Opherdicke (spoken: Op-Hérdicke, 4.62 km²) form the southern part of the municipality, the old town of Holzwickede (9.76 km²) the northern part.
The town centers of Hengsen and Opherdicke lie on the Haarstrang (Herdicker Haar) . The Hengser local area extends in the south to the Ruhr , Opherdicke also extends almost to the Ruhr. A large part of these location areas is formed by a training area of the army assigned.
The old town of Holzwickede is made up of the parts "Altes Dorf" (the original Holzwickede), Dudenroth, Rausingen and Natorp and lies between the ridge of the Ardey Mountains and the Dortmund ridge in the Emscher lowlands. Until July 31, 1929, a western strip of Rausingen belonged to Sölde , the rest of the municipal area of which was incorporated into Dortmund at the same time.
In addition to these districts, there are other settlement area names: Keller, Brauck, Ostendorf, Alte Kolonie, Hohenlicht.
Neighboring communities
The following cities share a border with Holzwickede (clockwise from the north): Dortmund , Unna , Fröndenberg / Ruhr , Iserlohn , Schwerte
history
The history of Holzwickede is naturally closely linked to the history of the surrounding area, so the history of the Ruhr area is also worth reading along with the history of Holzwickede .
The area of the later municipality of Holzwickede was already populated in the Neolithic Age (5000–2000 BC). This is proven by finds such as a sharpened plow wedge that was found in the Hengsen district and is now (2004) kept in the Museum of Art and Cultural History in Dortmund .
Around the turn of the century , Roman troops occupied the land crown in Holzwickede alongside other strategically important points between the Ruhr and Lippe. According to legend, between 300 and 400 AD the Nibelungs used the Roman path at the height of the Ardey Mountains (through Hengsen and Opherdicke) on their way to Soest.
A section of the famous Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela also led across the ridge of the Ardey Mountains from around the High Middle Ages . The pilgrims came from the Hellweg in Unna on the so-called small Hellweg between Opherdicke and Ostendorf. From here it went through Opherdicke and Hengsen to Breckerfeld , where the pilgrims gathered in larger groups to continue their journey. A chapel with a statue of James is said to have stood in Hengsen at the time .
The first known documentary mention is found in 1100 for Opherdicke in a property register and 1150 for Hengsen (as Hegeninchusen ) in documents from the Werden monastery (near Essen ). A castle in Opherdicke was first mentioned in 1176.
The first coal finds are proven in 1575 in Opherdicke. Holzwickede's mining history lasted until May 31, 1951, when the Caroline colliery was finally shut down and almost 500 miners lost their jobs (or were partly relocated to other pits).
In 1825 the four farmers' communities Dudenroth , Rausingen , Holzwickede and Natorp officially merged to form the municipality (today's district ) Holzwickede. In 1929, Holzwickede was expanded to include part of Sölde as part of the municipal reorganization in the Prussian province of Westphalia . This included above all the site of the Freiberg colliery (today VW works Vincenz Wiederholt ). In its current form, Holzwickede only came into being through the municipal reorganization in 1968, when the previously independent municipalities of Hengsen, Holzwickede and Opherdicke were merged into one larger municipality .
On December 15, 1860, Holzwickede became a train station on the Dortmund - Soest railway line. The line was built from 1853 to 1855, but the trains did not initially stop in Holzwickede. One year after the station, Holzwickede received the first post office in 1861. In 1867 Holzwickede became a nationally important railway junction with a marshalling yard that was almost completely demolished today when another railway line from Hengstey via Schwerte to Holzwickede was put into operation . The railway line from Schwerte along the Ruhr to Warburg also runs through the Holzwickeder area; Today's Bahnwald nature reserve used to be home to the eastern part of the Geisecke (Ruhr) marshalling yard, which was already completely demolished on this route . The connection of private households and the Holzwickeder street lighting to the public power grid took place in 1907, the connection to the public water supply also at the beginning of the 20th century.
In the spring of 1966, anti-aircraft missiles of the anti-aircraft missile battalion 21 of the Bundeswehr were stationed in Opherdicke . Nuclear warheads were also available for this weapon system. They were under guard by the 66th US Army Artillery Detachment (66th USAAD). The stationing did not meet with the undivided approval of the Holzwicked population. In 1987 the Nike Hercules weapon system was replaced by the Patriot mobile anti-aircraft missile system. In 2004 the location was closed.
In 1987 the community of Holzwickede had 15,878 inhabitants.
Incorporations
On August 1, 1929, Holzwickede was expanded to include part of the dissolved municipality of Sölde (eastern Rausingen). On January 1, 1968, Hengsen and Opherdicke were incorporated.
Knights and noble estates
The following mansions were located in the area of today's municipality of Holzwickede: House Opherdicke in Opherdicke, House Dudenroth in Holzwickede, House Ruhr / Lappenhausen , House Vierbecke , Rittergut Hegeninghusen and House Linscheid in Hengsen.
Only the Opherdicke house is preserved of these goods. A wall fragment of the Ruhr house still exists in the forest on the Ruhr, Dudenroth house was demolished in the 20th century and only the four parts of the Vierbecke house can be guessed at on the site of the training area.

Culture and sights
nature
The first to be mentioned here is the Hilgenbaum, the coat of arms tree of the municipality of Holzwickede . To the east of the old town center there used to be an ancient oak, which got its name from the fact that newsletters (Hilgen) were attached there. Other sources interpret the name as a holy (= hilgen) tree. After the historic old tree fell victim to a fire, a new tree was planted in (almost) the same place at the beginning of the 20th century. It is located on the SE side of the Massener Straße / Goethestraße intersection, while the documents indicate that the first Hilgenbaum was "on the intersection".
As the source community of the Emscher, Holzwickede is home to the Emscherquellhof with the Emscher source . The farm was bought and repaired by the Emschergenossenschaft in 2003 .
The Schöne Flöte is a small wooded area on the course of the Holzwickeder Bach from the outdoor pool "Schöne Flöte" northwards (along the route of the A1) to the source of the brook. A hiking trail for pedestrians and cyclists leads through the forest to the crossing of Holzwickeder Straße.
The brook valley of the Holzwickede brook is also part of the historic Holzwickede mining circuit, which is well worth seeing .
With the Am Oelpfad facility , Holzwickede has an allotment garden that is well worth seeing. Since 1996 (with only one interruption in 2008) the facility has been repeatedly recognized as the "most beautiful facility in the Unna district" by the Hamm-Unna district association of allotment gardeners (as of 2016).
building
Special buildings can be seen above all in the district of Opherdicke. The Protestant church Opherdicke is the oldest building in the community, a small Romanesque basilica that was built between 1220 and 1250. The tower is dated to the time before the turn of the first millennium.
A little further to the east, also in Opherdicke, is the Haus Opherdicke moated castle , which, after a varied history, came into the hands of the Unna district in July 1980 and, following successful restoration, is now used as an event location. The house was first mentioned in history as Burg Opherdicke in 1182. From 1663 to 1687 the old moated castle was rebuilt and received its present form. In the 18th and 19th centuries the farm and auxiliary buildings were built, which still border the inner courtyard today (2014) in an unchanged form. The last noble resident of the moated castle was the von Lilien family , who came from Werl .
From the Opherdicke house, hikers can enjoy a beautiful view of the Ruhr valley .
The Catholic Church of Our Lady in the center of the village was built in 1904, followed by the Evangelical Church on the market in 1907 . Both buildings have been a listed building since 1984.
Monuments
In the southwest of the municipality is the 130 memorial (also basement head memorial ). On the steep slope of the cellar head towards the Ruhr valley, the regimental memorial was inaugurated on September 1, 1929 for those of the 1st Lorraine Infantry Regiment No. 130 ( popularly "130s" ) who died in the First World War .
This memorial was built according to a design by the Berlin sculptor Fritz Richter-Elsner from 1926 to 1929 in the spirit of the time in honor and in memory of the fallen soldiers of the regiment, among whom were many local soldiers. The initiator and donor of the monument was the 130 soldiers' association , formed from the surviving members of the regiment.
For a long time, the cellar head was a destination for excursions and a local recreation area. Today a larger number of people visit the cellar head only at Whitsun, because since 1979 the association for the preservation and care of the cellar head memorial has been celebrating a peace festival there every Whitsunday.
The anti-war memorial erected in Emscherpark in the 1960s, designed by the artist Josef Baron , who lives in Unna , was originally intended to be relocated to a different location within the community. After the artist turned against hiding the object in a secluded place, a replica of the work was erected in the forum of the Clara-Schumann-Gymnasium in 2009. The original was dismantled in August 2009 and set up again in 2012 in Munster in the Lüneburg Heath.
