location

Lirich is located in the southwest of Oberhausen, in the west of the Alt-Oberhausen district. The border to the north to Buschhausen is largely formed by the Rhine-Herne Canal , with the Westfriedhof still belonging to Lirich. In the northeast, the Oberhausen – Arnhem railway separates Lirich from the Kaisergarten and Marienviertel ; in the southeast, the Duisburg – Dortmund railway separates Lirich from downtown Oberhausen . In the south, the Alleestraße forms the border between Lirich-Süd and Alstaden .

To the west, the A3 motorway , the canal and Niebuhrstrasse separate Lirich from Meiderich .

history

The first documentary mention of Lirich goes back to the year 972. Until the middle of the 19th century it lay in a heathland through which the Emscher flowed. At the time, the Lirich farming community consisted of only a few farms (Wilmshof, Bonnemannshof, Uhlenbrockshof, Heyermannshof, Wüllenweberhof, Baumeisterhof, Hagemannshof). Together with Lippern, Lirich formed the nucleus of the Oberhausen community , which was founded on February 1, 1862 . The place belonged to the Borbeck mayor's office up to this point . The Concordia colliery was founded in 1850 and expanded in the following years until it was closed in 1968. The colliery itself but also the housing construction of the colliery company and the settlement of coal-processing industrial plants have clearly shaped Lirich. The population grew rapidly and the heathland was increasingly built on. At the same time as the Rhine-Herne Canal was built, the Emscher in the north of Lirich was regulated and canalized at the beginning of the 20th century, which improved living conditions in the working-class district that had been neglected by urban planning.

After the colliery closed, the district has undergone rapid change again. The tracks of the colliery can only be found sporadically in Lirich. The place of the industrial facilities have, for example, taken the Bero shopping center, the Altenberg center and the Rhenish Industrial Museum , commercial settlements and green spaces.

religion

Evangelical parish

Evangelical Paulus Church

The Evangelical Paulus Church is located in Lirich. In 2007, the Pauluskirchengemeinde merged with the Evangelical Church of Alstaden and the Luther Church in Buschhausen to form the Evangelical Emmaus Church Community of Oberhausen. Since then it has formed the parish church of the parish area Lirich, which includes all of Lirich as well as northern parts of Alstaden.

Catholic parish

Lirich-Nord and most of Lirich-Süd belong to the Catholic parish of St. Katharina, which has belonged to the parish of St. Marien Oberhausen-Mitte since the reorganization of the parishes in the Diocese of Essen in 2008. The first Katharinenkirche was built in 1888, followed by the second Katharinenkirche in 1929. The third Katharinenkirche was built from 1979 to 1982, which has since been the youngest parish church in Oberhausen's urban area.

The south of Lirich-Süd (below Würpembergstraße) belonged to the Mülheim parish of St. Marien from 1790, and then to the parish of St. Joseph Styrum from 1889 . In 1892 the south of Lirich and the north of Alstaden with the Oberhausen city center were added to the newly founded parish Herz Jesu, Alstaden-Nord and the extreme south of Lirich were elevated to the parish of Heide , which received its own church, St. Peter Alstaden, in 1918. In 1920, St. Peter was raised to its own parish, which was then merged with St. Antonius Alstaden to form the large parish of St. Antonius in 2008. This is the parish of the parish Herz Jesu Oberhausen-Mitte.

Infrastructure

GMVA on the Rhine-Herne Canal

Lirich is conveniently located between the federal motorway 3 with its OB-Lirich driveway in the west and Oberhausen main station in the east. Due to its proximity to the main train station, Lirich is connected to almost all local transport lines in Oberhausen. The bus lines SB91, SB93, SB94, SB97, SB98, 935, 939, 955, 957, 961, 976 and 995 of the Rhein-Ruhr transport association run through the district . The district is divided diagonally from northeast to southwest by the Oberhausen West freight station and the railway lines connected to it. The Lirich-Süd district, which is closer to the city and much more densely populated, is characterized by more structural upheavals and social problems than Lirich-Nord. When Lirich was accepted into the “Socially Integrative City of North Rhine-Westphalia” program at the end of 2002, the Lirich district project was set up, within the framework of which an integrated district renewal is pursued.

On the north-western border of Lirich is Oberhausen's largest communal cemetery (Westfriedhof) with an area of ​​35 hectares, which was laid out in 1891 and expanded several times. Today it is bounded by the A3 motorway in the west and the Rhine-Herne Canal in the southeast. The community waste incineration plant (GMVA) Oberhausen is located on the northeastern edge of the district.
