geography

Löttringhausen is about seven kilometers south of Dortmund city center. The Düsseldorf-Derendorf-Dortmund Süd railway line of the former Rheinische Bahn has been running through the village since 1879 , and has been to Dortmund Central Station since 1957 . The Löttringhausen train station is located in the southern part of the town .

Today the Löttringhauser south and the Löttringhauser north as residential areas are relatively clearly separated from each other. While the north consists only of the large housing estate and the older, rather small town center, apart from the sometimes relatively upscale single-family houses in the far north, in the south of Löttringhausen there are almost exclusively single-family houses and villas on large, partly park-like properties.

history

The high-rise as the center of the district

Fire station

Today's Löttringhausen was first mentioned around 1250 as the Lufferdinchusen farmers in a land register of the Werden monastery . At that time the village consisted of four cottages on the edge of the Großholthauser Mark and the Kleinholthauser Mark.

Around 1740 a school is guaranteed for the place Löttringhausen. The school, forerunner of today's Langeloh elementary school, in Löttringhausen was at that time the only school in the parish of Kirchhörde . The rural character of the place only changed in 1879, when the Dortmund – Hagen railway line was set up and the Löttringhausen train station opened. The Ender Tunnel was dug south of the village as a crossing of the Ardey Mountains under the Vaerstenberg. From 1880 the Löttringhausen station was also the end point of the Rheinischer Esel railway line . The Gottessegen colliery and two brickworks were located near the Löttringhausen train station . From 1743 iron ore and coal were dug in the colliery . The railway connection made Löttringhausen a recreational destination for Dortmund's urban population.

In the last days of the Second World War, on the orders of NSDAP Gauleiter Albert Hoffmann, around 30,000 forced laborers and prisoners of war from the entire Dortmund area were to be brought together in the Gottessegen colliery, brought to the lowest level and murdered there by flooding, blowing up or deprived of breath. This mass murder was thwarted by the reluctance of the mine management to implement it and the liberation by the US Army shortly thereafter. Those responsible were never prosecuted.

After the Second World War , nothing changed in the rural character of the place. Only when the foundation stone was laid for the construction of a large housing estate in the north of Löttringhauser in 1964 did the former village become a populous suburb of the city of Dortmund. A small shopping center was built in the middle of the settlement not far from the Langeloh School. With the construction of a 12-storey residential high-rise in 1974, the change from a peasantry to today's Löttringhausen was completed.

There were plans to implement the Volmetalbahn from Dortmund via Hagen to Lüdenscheid as a light rail . The tram should run directly from Dortmund city center via Hagen city center to downtown Lüdenscheid . In 1997, a concept for the Hagen regional light rail system was presented, which was rejected for reasons of cost despite the transport benefits.
