Bochum-Hamme train station

Hamme is a medium-sized district in Bochum - Mitte , which is directly adjacent to the city ​​center in the northwest . Within Hamme is the so-called Speckschweiz, an old building district between the mining museum and the Hamme train station. The quarter is increasingly attracting students, creative people and young families. Due to its proximity to the Kortländerkiez and its central location, this part of Hamme has not seen much appreciation for several years.

history

The place where the later Hamme was built was the settlement area of ​​the Brukterer tribe in Germanic times . They lost it to the Saxons invading from the north in the course of the 7th century . After protracted fighting, the Franks under Charlemagne were able to subdue and pacify the Saxons - including those of the old Brukterer district. Christianization began in 802 with the foundation of the Werden monastery .

As is customary throughout the country, the local gallows were in use in Hamme well into the 18th century. The gallows place was on the Maar bridge: "... in the Maarbach flowing by the child murderers were drowned in a sack that the poor victims had to sew themselves".

In 1798 there was a civil status record in the Oberamt Bochum for the rural community of Hamme

1. in the farming community: 45 houses and 46 families with 47 men, 52 women, 51 sons, 44 daughters, 28 servants = 222 people,
2. in the noble house Overdiek: 1 house and 1 family with 1 man, 1 woman, 5 sons, 1 daughter, 8 maids, 8 servants = 24 people,
3. in aristocratic ownership: 10 houses and 9 families with 10 men, 10 women, 6 sons, 5 daughters, no servants = 31 people.

This resulted in a total of 277 people in the municipality of Hamme in 1798.

In the Hamme area the names Hundhamme and Goldhamme were in use until well into the 19th century and can be found in official documents and on official maps. The old land register - the land register from 1670–1688 in the Bochum district - names gold and dog hammer. Still, the map of Parcellar- cadastre of the municipality Hamme of 1823 and the Urmesstischblätter 1839-1842 show this dichotomy.

The gold and dog hammer were also spatially separated from each other. The gold hammer located to the west had its core on the oval, which forms today's streets Balkehof and Kabeisemannsweg at the connection to Centrumstraße . The larger Hundhamme was mainly settled to the west of today's Gahlenschen Strasse in the area between Overdyker Strasse and Prinzenstrasse .

Some traces of this old time are clearly noticeable in the streetscape. An architectural ensemble has been preserved at the level of the house at Gahlensche Strasse No. 188. In the area of ​​Von-der Recke-Straße No. 25 there are houses from the old days in the second row, when the course of the street was still different. A courtyard formation west of Gahlenschen Strasse opposite the confluence with Reichsstrasse illustrates the old local structures.

To the west of the main settlement of Hundhamme, to the west of the Marbach and to the west of today's street Am Hangenden , near Overdyker Strasse, was the aristocratic seat of Haus Overdyck .

The expansion of 1847 sunk mine Carolinenglück occupied the open space between gold and dog Hamme and ultimately connected them to "Hammering". Goldhamme has shifted its focus to the southeast over the years and can also be found as a street name. Hundhammer has long since ceased to be used and even the indigenous population has not known it for many years.

In Hamme, more precisely in the President Zeche (in operation from 1844 to 1943, destroyed by an air raid), the overburden of the marl over the coal- bearing seams was overcome for the first time with an underground construction shaft. A memorial plaque still reminds of this today. Hammer Park was created on the site of the mine.

On April 1, 1904, Hamme was incorporated into Bochum.

After the end of the hard coal era, the Bochum slaughterhouse was one of the most important businesses based in Hamme. The architect was Walter Frese .

In 1977, the then Bochum theater director Peter Zadek staged the full-length play Hamlet in Hamme in a former factory hall (6 hours) with Ulrich Wildgruber , Ilse Ritter , Eva Mattes , Hermann Lause , Rosel Zech and Magdalena Montezuma . This factory hall was later used by the Bochum theater as a painter's hall and warehouse. It burned out completely in the 1990s. His version of Hamlet was translated by him and Gottfried Greiffenhagen to August Wilhelm Schlegel and Johann Joachim Eschenburg . Thus the name of this district also became known literarily.

Infrastructure

traffic

Dorstener Straße ( B 226 ), one of the nine main arterial roads in Bochum , runs through the district . Its name comes from the time of early industrialization. It formed the extension of the Gahlensche Kohlenstraße and served to transport the coal extracted from the Ruhr to the north. Dorstener Strasse was one of the first paved roads in the central Ruhr area . It led from Bochum through the then sparsely populated area of ​​the Emscherbruch and only encountered a larger settlement again at Dorsten . With the sinking of new mines south of Bochum at the end of the 19th century, the insignificant villages of Wanne and Eickel in the area of ​​the Emscher grew strongly and the villages were merged in 1926 as the independent town of Wanne-Eickel . In 1975 Wanne-Eickel was incorporated into Herne . These districts can be reached via Dorstener Straße. In the north of Hamme, the federal motorway 40 (Dortmund - Venlo) runs across Dorstener Straße , which as the Ruhr Schnellweg is the most important east-west connection in the region. Hamme is connected to the A 40 with a junction.

Tram lines 306 and 316 of Bochum-Gelsenkirchener Straßenbahnen AG and bus lines 352 and 368 run on Dorstener Strasse. Lines 306, 316 and 368 connect Bochum's city center with Wanne-Eickels main station. Line 352 connects Speckschweiz, Hamme and Goldhamme and continues to Weitmar and Eppendorf . Line 302, which connects Langendreer with Gelsenkirchen-Buer , also runs in Goldhamme, as does the U35 CampusLine at the Feldsieper Straße stop near Speckschweiz .

Bochum-Hamme is also the name of a stop on the Glückauf-Bahn (regional train 46). It is located on the eastern edge of the district on the Bochum – Gelsenkirchen railway line and, as a through station, belongs to station category 5. Regional train 46 connects Gelsenkirchen, Wanne-Eickel and Bochum. Shortly before Hamme, the line becomes single-track for passenger transport, the other two tracks are only used for freight transport.
