Children's home (Münster)
Kinderhaus is a living area ( district ) of Münster and is located approx. 4 km north of the city center . It belongs next to the districts Coerde and Sprakel the district Nord . With its 15,708 inhabitants, the children's home is primarily used as a place of residence, although some service companies have also settled here.
Geographical location
Boundaries of the district
Kinderhaus is located on both sides of the B 219 north of Münster city center. It connects almost directly to the city limits of Münster. In the west, the border runs along the B 54 to the A1 motorway and then in a northerly direction to the Bergbusch forest . From there it runs in a long arc towards the east past Gut Kinderhaus to the Münster - Gronau railway line and follows it in a south-easterly direction to the Münster-Zentrum Nord train station .
structure
The Kinderhaus is divided into four sub-centers:
- Kinderhaus-Zentrum, the actual center of the Kinderhaus with the shopping centers and the seat of the district administration for the northern city district, through which the Kinderbach flows.
- Brüningheide, a large housing estate developed as part of social housing with dense housing developments and correspondingly high apartment buildings. This part of the children's home is also considered a social hotspot.
- Bröderichweg on the eastern side of the B 219 with light and medium-sized housing developments and the headquarters of various service companies and some schools sponsored by the Westphalia-Lippe Regional Association .
- Wilkinghege, to which the eponymous Wilkinghege moated castle belongs, begins further south of Brüningheide. The Wilkinghege road connects the B219 with the B54 through Westhoffstraße. Wilkinghege ends at the boundary of the Wilkinghege golf course.
history
Kinderhaus was founded around 1333 and at that time was still far from the gates of Münster. The name derives from the name of a home for leprosy sick from that of the "hus kids" was called. Apart from this home, there was only a church and a few farms in the children's home until the beginning of the 19th century.
In 1903 the children's home in Münster was incorporated and has experienced steady growth since then. At first, the settlement increased along the B 219, before a densely populated residential area with residential complexes of up to twelve floors was built in the mid-1970s with Brüningheide. In 1984 the main center of the children's house was built around Idenbrockplatz (named after the settlement of the same name or Ydenbrocke farm from the 14th century). Various shops, the library, an indoor swimming pool and the district administration have been located here since then.
Since the 1990s, the children's home has been developing southwards, towards the city center of Münster. In a south-westerly direction, another residential area with light residential developments was built. Various service companies have settled in the south-east in the Uppenberg district .
traffic
Kinderhaus has a connection to the B 54 and a fast connection to the A1 motorway via the Münster-Nord intersection . If you follow the B 54 in a north-westerly direction, you will reach Enschede in the Netherlands after about 70 km and an hour's drive by car . The B 219 (in Kinderhaus Grevener Straße) leads through the Kinderhaus itself , via which you can reach the city center of Münster in around 10 minutes and, in the north, Münster / Osnabrück Airport in around 30 minutes , which can also be reached via the motorway at the same time A1 can be reached.
Not far away, but already part of the inner city area, is the Münster Zentrum-Nord train station. With regional trains there are connections to Gronau , Rheine , Dortmund , Coesfeld and to Münster main station .
From September 30, 1875 to May 29, 1987, the place could be reached via the Kinderhaus ⊙ stop on the route from Münster to Gronau , today's Münster – Enschede railway line . It was at the intersection of the B 219. Since the facility was dismantled in 1990, only the service building remains, which is now privately owned. After consultation with Deutsche Bahn , the sign for the stop became the property of the Children's Home Citizens' Association and has since been on display in the Children's Home Museum.
