List of streets in Alstaden

The list of streets in Alstaden lists all street names in the area of ​​the village of Alstaden an der Ruhr , today a district of Oberhausen in the Ruhr area in North Rhine-Westphalia , and gives an explanation of the origin of the name.

Many street names in Alstaden are derived - as elsewhere - from old hallway names , residential area names , or courtyards and cottages. The peculiarity of the Alstadener street names is that a good part of its no ending to -Straße , route of or plaza has, such as Heider farms , flocks field or Kallen . In addition, many of these names are derived from the Lower Franconian ( Brögel , Stubbenbaum ). Therefore, the Alstaden street names are often perceived as unusual.

History of naming

The first street names are traditional names. Street names such as Ruhrstrasse , Stelter Weg and Ohrfelds Weg or cadastral names such as Kallen and Franzenkamp can already be read on a map from 1823 . Names such as Kruitzstraaten , Treibweg or Heidstraße have been handed down from a later period . The first officially named streets were those that were laid out in the area of ​​the Alstadener Heide, which was assigned to the newly founded mayor of Oberhausen in 1862. Some of the streets there were named after Prussian soldiers and professions. In the municipality of Alstaden, the streets were given official names for the first time at the turn of the century. There, too, most of the streets were named after important personalities or places in recent German history, for example after poets ( Goethestraße , Schillerstraße ), thinkers ( Jahnstraße , Gutenbergstraße ), the military ( Derfflingerstraße , Bismarckplatz ), battlegrounds ( Sedanstraße ) or monarchs ( Luisenstraße , Kaiserstrasse , Wilhelmstrasse ). The remaining streets were named after the buildings ( Schulstraße , Kirchstraße , Mühlenstraße ), the surroundings ( Wiesenstraße , Flurstraße ), their location ( Südstraße , Mittelstraße ), the characteristics of the street itself ( parallel street , Kurzestraße ), and the surrounding places ( Meidericher Straße , Oberhausener Straße ) or simply arbitrarily ( Rosenstraße ).

In 1910 Alstaden was incorporated into Oberhausen together with Unterstyrum and Unterdümpten. Therefore there were quite a few street names twice, three times or sometimes four times. For this reason, a large part of the Alstadener Strasse was renamed, but from the Alstadener Heide area, which already belonged to Oberhausen, only today's Broicher Strasse (before 1910 Franzenkamp ). This was mainly based on old cadastral designations or former street names. The “strange” seeming Alstaden street names such as Brögel , Heiderhöfen and Stelte therefore come from this time. However, arbitrary names ( Lilienstraße , Richardstraße ) were chosen and people important to Alstaden were honored ( Behrensstraße , Kewerstraße ). The Franzenkamp and the (today renamed) Bergstraße are a curiosity : Originally today's Broicher Straße was called "Franzenkamp" and today's Püttstraße was called "Bergstraße". After the renaming in 1910, the former Blücherstraße was now called "Franzenkamp" and the former parallel street was called "Bergstraße". The Franzenkamp bears this name to this day, the Bergstrasse is now called Fischerstrasse.

A second wave of renaming arose after the incorporation of the independent cities of Sterkrade and Osterfeld into the city of Oberhausen in 1929. Even now there were many names twice and some three times. The city of Oberhausen took its time with the renaming, on the one hand for cost reasons, on the other hand due to resistance from the population and church tower thinking . The only street that was really renamed in 1929 is Reinholdstraße (until 1929 Stephanstraße ). All other renaming took place from 1933 to 1938, during the time of National Socialism . Some street names are still based on old names or the location of the street ( Teichfeldstraße , Am Ruhrufer ), other streets are now part of themed groups (car engineers in the Charlottenviertel). Several personalities are honored ( Fröbelplatz , Mörikestrasse ), also from Alstaden ( Lindermannstrasse ), and the trend towards naming streets after rivers begins ( Erftstrasse , Wupperstrasse ). In addition to all these renaming, there are clear traces of National Socialist ideas in a large part of the new street names. This begins with original German first names ( Ernastraße , Brunostraße ), increases in the name of the old "Buschstraße" after Windhoek , the capital of the former colony of German South West Africa , and culminates in the honoring of National Socialist politicians and thinkers such as Wilhelm Gustloff and Dietrich Eckart . The reason for changing the name of Hofstrasse to Griesheimer Strasse remains completely obscure , as Alstaden and Oberhausen have no connection with the small town of Griesheim in the Thuringian Forest .

After the Second World War , neither the National Socialist nor the monarchist street names corresponded to the zeitgeist. After Dietrich-Eckart-Strasse , Wilhelm-Loeper-Strasse and Wilhelm-Gustloff-Strasse had already been erased in 1945 and replaced by the names of the poets Gellert and Lenau or the male first name Ruprecht , the main street of Alstadens followed in 1947, its old one Name Kaiserstraße was replaced by the honor of August Bebel .

After the war, a street was not laid out again until 1967, which was named Babcockallee after the builder of the adjoining houses ; other new development areas in the center and east of Alstaden were given arbitrary names ( Grüner Winkel ) or names that are reminiscent of old cadastral names and locations ( Am Wall , Im Heidefeld ). In the "Werkbundsiedlung am Ruhrufer" (also: Gartenstadt Alstaden-Süd, 1973) in Ruhralstaden, the streets were given names reminiscent of mining ( Hauerweg ), in the neighboring settlement of Alte Ruhr (1982) names of tributaries of the Ruhr ( Möhnestraße ) .

In 1997 and 1998 three new housing estates were built in the center and in the west, which from then on bore the names of locally important personalities ( Wilhelm-Haumann-Weg , Matthias-Hendricks-Weg ). Later settlements in the west, built exclusively with single-family houses, were named after other tributaries of the Ruhr ( Lahnstraße , Sorpestraße ), a few others after historical features of the location of the street ( Am Holl ). The background to the naming of the Germaniaweg remains unclear . In 2009, the last new building area was built and named in the district in the west of Alstaden, now known as the “settlements”. The Günther-Büch-Straße was named after a local personality, namely a theater director who worked at the Oberhausen Theater for ten years , despite the existence of the subject group “tributaries of the Ruhr”, like the neighboring Wilhelm-Haumann-Weg .

In 2014, the two new roads in the east, on the old Landwehr Stadium site, were named after two other Oberhausen personalities, the mayor Fritz Eickelen and the resistance fighter Fritz Giga. In 2015, a settlement in the Ruhr meadows was named after the Lohmannshof farm located there .

After Alstadener Heide was ceded to the newly founded municipality of Oberhausen in 1862 until the entire Alstaden was incorporated in 1910, Alstadener Strasse formed the border between the two mayor offices of Alstaden (before 1904 Styrum) and Oberhausen, which explains the street name. Alstadener Straße is listed in the district road system of the city of Oberhausen as part of the district road K14 , which leads from Alstaden to federal road 223 .

Anvil Street	170	Anvil , blacksmith tool	1910	The Amboßstraße leads from Heiderhöfen in an arch to the Alstaden cemetery. The Eickelkamp smithy used to stand on the corner of Heiderhöfen, which is why the street was originally called Schmiedstraße . After the incorporation, Schmiedstrasse had to be given over to Alstaden-Heide, but the new name should still be associated with the forge.
Antoniusplatz	60	Catholic Church of St. Anthony	after 1897	Anthony's place in the Bebelstraße takes its name from the Antonius church, which was built here in 1897 and her name again from 1875 decorated Antonius school has.

It crosses Alstaden in a north-south direction from Kewerstraße to Lirich. It was originally called the Treibweg because the cattle were driven into the Ruhr meadows along this road. When the street names were introduced in Alstaden, it was given the name Kaiserstraße . After the war , the honoring of the German emperors was no longer appropriate and the name was changed to honor August Bebel. The Bebelstraße is today the main street in Alstaden, here are the Evangelical Church Alstaden and the Catholic Antoniuskirche , the Catholic primary school GK Ruhrschule and the old municipal office. Until 1945, the Alstaden registry office had a building at the Holzweg intersection.

Blattstrasse	450	presumably arbitrary naming	1910	After the incorporation, the former Nordstrasse was supposedly given this name because of the way the houses stood next to one another. It is to be assumed that the naming is arbitrary. Blattstraße is located in the settlements and leads from Flügelstraße through the former Kiepenfeld to Brunostraße.

Alstaden and Heiderhöfen (with the Alstadener Heide) formed the municipality of Alstaden since the early 19th century, before the two villages grew together. Heiderhöfen street was probably the main street of the small town. The name Heiderhöfen is derived from "Höfe in der Heide" and was drawn on the map of the county of Mark from 1790 as Heider Höfe . The village is named Heiderhofen on the Tranchot map , later on Heidershöfe . From around 1890 the Heiderhöfen variant prevailed, which in the meantime only refers to the western part of Alstad and no longer an independent village.

Other locations in Alstaden

Allotment gardens

The information relates to the data from the Oberhausen der Kleingärtner e. V., to which most of the Alstaden clubs belong. Each allotment garden is given a number there.

• KGA 01 Alstaden ( Grüne Aue ) is an allotment garden with 74 plots on 36,615 m² leased area. It is located between the Grünen Aue, the Oberhausen – Duisburg railway line , Lindermannstrasse and Ohrfeld.
• KGA 02 Gertrudstrasse ( Gertrudstrasse ) is a facility with 60 parcels on 24,075 m² leased area. It lies between Gertrudstrasse, the Oberhausen – Duisburg railway line and the Landwehr.
• KGA 06 Ruhraue ( Möhnestrasse / Püttstrasse ) is a facility with 26 parcels on 8,260 m² leased area. It lies between the disused Styrum – Ruhrort railway line, Möhnestrasse and Püttstrasse.
• KGA 08 Stadtmitte ( Brunostraße ) is a facility with 36 parcels on 13,914 m² leased area. It is located between Franzenkamp, ​​Bruno-, Derfflinger- and Alstadener Straße.
• KGA 09 Oberhausen-Süd ( Rechenacker ) is a facility with 118 parcels on 39,364 m² leased area. It is located between Rechenacker, Hamborner Strasse, Heidestrasse (both Mülheim- Oberstyrum ) and the Landwehr and therefore only partially in Alstaden. Large parts of the complex belong to Lower and Upper Styrum, but the association's headquarters are in Alstaden.

There are other allotment gardens on Flockenfeld , Rehmer , Kewerstraße and between Akazienstraße and Lenaustraße .

schools

• GK Ruhrschule ( Bebelstraße ): The Catholic primary school Ruhrschule, founded in 1899, has been named after its proximity to the Ruhr since it was incorporated in 1910 . It is unknown why it is not called "KG" (Catholic Primary School) like most other Catholic schools, but "GK". It had its building on Lickenberg until the summer of 2019, since then lessons have taken place in the former buildings of the Alstaden secondary school in the center of Alstaden.
• Bismarck School ( Mörikestrasse ): The Bismarck School, founded in 1898 as the third Protestant school in Alstaden, is named after Otto von Bismarck , the Chancellor and founder of the German Empire .
• Landwehr School ( Rechenacker ): The Landwehr School was founded in 1876 as the third Protestant school in Styrum. It was not until 1957 that she moved to the Rechenacker in Alstaden. Since 1968 it has had its current name based on the important Landwehr road, near which it is located.

Other areas

• Ruhrpark (popularly also Stielmuspark ): The Ruhrpark is a 15- hectare park in the very south between Speldorfer Straße , Kewerstraße and Solbadstraße . The Ruhrpark, the southern part of which borders the Ruhr dike, was converted into a vegetable field during World War II. In 1950 the Alstaden Garden Culture Ring was founded , which, under its chairman Matthias Hendricks, campaigned for the recultivation of the Ruhrpark. These efforts were successful and the Ruhrpark is now again a public park in the style of an English landscape garden . In its northern half there is a large open space, called Jahnwiese , which is often used for ball games and the like.
• Solbadhalde: The Solbadhalde is an overburden mountain of the Alstaden colliery, which is why it actually bears the name Halde Alstaden . The brine dump reaches a height of around 35 meters above sea level and is therefore a good five meters higher than the surrounding area. The overburden mountain can no longer be recognized as such, as it is now densely forested. There is a circular route here.
  The Solbadhalde is named after its location on Solbadstrasse and the old Alstadener Solbad.
• Biotope Alstaden and Ruhrauen: The Biotope Alstaden is located on the former site of the waste dump on the Ruhrufer of the Alstaden colliery, which burned from 1982 to 1993. This happened through self-ignition of the residual coal in the tailings pile due to heat build-up. Depending on the extent of the smoldering fires, the fire took place without any externally visible flames, but these fires could lead to more or less, sometimes clearly visible, smoke emissions. Because of this pollution for the residents, the dump was removed down to one meter below the water table. The groundwater collected in the resulting crater and formed small, connected lakes. The banks of the lakes are now densely overgrown and difficult to access, which is why special animal and plant species have settled. The circular path of the biotope goes over to the Alstadener Ruhrdeich and the paths in the Ruhrauen. The circular route and branching paths are part of the streets Am Ruhrufer and Ruhrstraße .
• Zechenpark: The Zechenpark is officially nameless, it is a small green area between Möhnestrasse , Behrensstrasse and Püttstrasse . It was set up on the former site of the Alstaden colliery . The two filled shafts 2 and 3 of the Alstaden colliery can still be recognized by their prototype hoods .
• Fröbelplatz: The green area Fröbelplatz is located on the square of the same name and officially bears this name (in contrast to the square). It is named after Friedrich Froebel , a teacher and the creator of the kindergarten movement.
• Peterplatz: Peterplatz is the green space between the street of the same name and the Catholic St. Peter's Church. Like the church, it is named after St. Peter .
• Alstadener Friedhof: The Alstadener Friedhof, which was established in 1905 through donations from citizens, is one of only five Oberhausen cemeteries. Its closure has already been prevented three times by citizen protests in 1985, 1987 and 2005.
