View of the village of Hubbelrath

Hubbelrath is a rural district of Düsseldorf and belongs to district 7 in the east of the city.

Geography and population

Hubbelrath is located in the east of the city of Düsseldorf in the middle of the cultural landscape of the Mettmann loess plateau and borders on Ratingen , Mettmann and Erkrath in the Mettmann district . The district has an area of ​​13.01 km² and is the second largest district in Düsseldorf in terms of area.

The district includes the village of Hubbelrath, the settlement areas around the Stratenhof and around the Rotthäuser Weg, the Bergische Kaserne, the central landfill of the city of Düsseldorf and the nature and landscape protection areas around the Rotthäuser and the Hubbelrather Bachtal.

Hubbelrath has 1722 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2016) and is one of the wealthiest districts in Düsseldorf. The average annual income is 77,662 euros (as of December 31, 2007).

topology

In the Hubbelrath area (south of the golf courses) lies the 165 meter high sand mountain . It is the highest natural elevation in Düsseldorf. The Hubbelrath Bach rises not far from the village of Hubbelrath and flows south to Erkrath, where it flows into the Düssel . About 1.5 kilometers to the west is the source of the Rotthäuser Bach, which also flows south to the Düssel. The areas north of federal highway 7, which runs almost identical to the watershed between Düssel and Schwarzbach in Hubbelrath, are drained to the west flowing Diepensiepener Bach, which also crosses the northeastern tip of Hubbelrath.

history

From prehistoric times, comparatively few finds are known in the Hubbelrath area compared to the surrounding communities. According to previous knowledge, the area remained uninhabited until the 5th or 6th century AD. The first clearings and establishment of farms in the area date back to the 8th century. The origin of today's place lies in a courtyard that was named after the presumably first resident Hupoldesroth (clearing of Hupoldes). This name appears for the first time in a document dated May 29, 950, in which the Archbishop of Cologne Wichfrid donated the town of Hupoldesroth with mansion and chapel to the St. Ursula monastery and half to the Gerresheimer Canonical monastery. The patronage of St. Cäcilia suggests that the chapel was built after 822 at the earliest. In the 12th century, a stone church was built in place of the chapel, today's Catholic Church of St. Cäcilia . In 1668 the place received a school for the first time.

Political assignment

Until the end of 1974 Hubbelrath was an independent municipality and together with the also independent municipalities Hasselbeck-Schwarzbach , Homberg-Meiersberg (since 1975 to Ratingen ) and Metzkausen (since 1975 to Mettmann ) formed the Hubbelrath office with its administrative seat in Metzkausen.

Through the Düsseldorf law , Hubbelrath and parts of Hasselbeck-Schwarzbach were incorporated into the city of Düsseldorf with effect from January 1, 1975. Together with these parts of the former community of Hasselbeck-Schwarzbach, Hubbelrath has since been part of the 7th district of Düsseldorf as the Hubbelrath district . Knittkuhl has not been part of the Hubbelrath district since 2014 . It became a separate district of Düsseldorf.

Settlements

Hubbelrath village

Not far from the Mettmann autobahn junction ( A 3 autobahn ) and federal highway 7, there is a round village that was built around the manor house , which was documented as Hupoldesroth in 950 . The village is characterized by villas, detached houses and terraced houses, whereby the village character has been retained. The Romanesque style Catholic parish church of St. Cäcilia is worth seeing . Your tower dates from the 12th century. In addition to the church, only the rectory opposite of the older buildings has survived. A lively club life (shooters, volunteer fire brigade ) emanates from the oldest settlement in the district . The Hubbelrath cemetery, the smallest cemetery in Düsseldorf, is located in the village .

Stratenhofsiedlung

The Stratenhofsiedlung is to the east of the Bergische Kaserne. The Stratenhof, which was already mentioned in the 14th century, was a feudal court that was awarded by the Gerresheim monastery and which was at the same time a weary and taxable court that had to transfer its services to the Derner Hof in Gerresheim. In contrast to numerous other goods that were leased for a limited period of time, the Stratenhof had the special characteristic that it was a hereditary farm . Today there is a settlement around the Stratenhof consisting of row houses and bungalows , which extends as far as Bundesstraße 7 . Similar to Knittkuhl, the houses used to be inhabited by soldiers for the neighboring barracks .

Rotthäuser Weg / Sauerhof settlement

A residential area was initially built along the branch from Rotthäuser Weg to Sauerhof. To the north of it, single-family houses were built in the 1990s. The estate is one of the most expensive residential areas in Düsseldorf.

Bruchhausen estate

Not far from the village of Hubbelrath in the Hubbelrather Bachtal lies the ancestral seat of the Knights of Broichhausen, first mentioned in 1218. At the beginning of the 18th century, the estate was owned by the family of the Electoral Palatinate Budget Minister Lothar Friedrich von Hundheim . The building that exists today in the so-called “Rhenish late baroque” style was built in the 20th century for the entrepreneur Alfred Haniel . The pedunculate oak in the park was planted in 1679 and is therefore the oldest oak in Düsseldorf.

Gut Mydlinghoven

In 1460, knight Wilhelm from house to house in Ratingen expanded the watermill located on the Hubbelrath Bach around one kilometer south of Gut Bruchhausen into a moated castle. In 1915 it was expanded to become a stud farm and recreation center for pit horses . Today Mydlinghoven apartment houses of a cooperative there Cohousing operates as a modern form of housing.

traffic

The federal road 7 crosses Hubbelrath on a ridge in a west-east direction and is connected to the A3 Cologne - Oberhausen motorway not far from the village of Hubbelrath via the Mettmann junction . In local public transport, Hubbelrath is served by the Rheinbahn bus routes 733 (Knittkuhl– Gerresheim - Derendorf ) and 738 ( Mettmann –Gerresheim– Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof ).
