history

House Kurl

The first documentary mention comes from the year 1189. The core of the settlement was the Kurl house , a manor house on the Körnebach , which for a long time was the only settlement on an old connecting road between Hellweg and Ruhr and the Lippe . After the Reformation , the Kurl community became Protestant like that of the surrounding villages, but in 1619 they returned to the Catholic faith. For a long time Kurl remained the only Catholic parish in the area, and it is still predominantly Catholic today.

Until the middle of the 19th century, Kurl was a small town with fewer than twenty households. It was not until the Kurl colliery was founded in Husen and Kurl that the population increased significantly; the mining became the main source of income. In 1906 the mining company C. Deilmann purchased a piece of land in Kurl and built new production halls in which many people found employment.

On September 2, 1915, the parish Courl was renamed Kurl. On April 1, 1928, it was incorporated into Dortmund.

Attractions

St. John Baptist

Catholic Church

In the simple, single-nave church from the 18th century, there is a hardly noticed font from the Romanesque period (around the first half of the 12th century). Naive sculptures, an early development, cover the cylindrical wall, which gives the impression of a carpet pattern. You can see two- and four-legged animals, angels in primitive frontality, stylized plants, rosette combinations. A lower frieze consists of star and cross patterns, one of the upper patterns forms a serpentine, winged creature with a wavy body. The upper and lower ends are formed by dew bulges, which - doubled and treated flatter - also serve as vertical delimitations of the picture fields. In their way, the sculptures are reminiscent of the capital sculpture in the Chapel of Drüggelte on the Möhnesee , a connection does not appear to be excluded.
