List of streets in Essen-Rüttenscheid

The list of streets in Essen-Rüttenscheid describes the street system in the Essen district of Rüttenscheid with the corresponding historical references.

Introduction and overview

In Rüttenscheid today 29,331 inhabitants (March 31, 2020) live on an area of ​​4.53 square kilometers. In Rüttenscheid there are the postcodes 45130, 45131, 45133, 45136 and 45147.

The Rüttenscheid peasantry was a political municipality that belonged to the Altenessen mayors' association . After the mayor's office in Altenessen was divided in 1874, Rüttenscheid belonged to the now new mayor's office in Stoppenberg . In 1884 Rellinghausen , Heisingen and Rüttenscheid merged to form the mayor's office in Rellinghausen. Between 1900 and the incorporation into the city of Essen in 1905, Rüttenscheid was an independent mayor's office with the sole mayor Friedrich Wilhelm Hild (1870–1908).

As a result of industrialization and the associated immigration of workers for the booming mining and steel industry, the development of the Rüttenscheid community became increasingly dense and confusing at the end of the 19th century. Instead of numbering by house, they switched to numbering by street, for which many streets were given names for the first time. On June 5, 1895, this numbering was determined on the basis of a street map and the decision was made to give the streets to the right (west) of what was then Kettwiger Chaussee, today's Rüttenscheider Straße, with male first names and left (east) of the Chaussee with female first names . The names were assigned in alphabetical order from the north and the streets were officially renamed on September 6, 1897. As a result of the incorporation into the city of Essen in 1905, the controversial naming system, which did not take into account local conditions, was interrupted several times, as other parts of Essen already had street names based on first names. Nevertheless, the tradition is still being continued with new building measures, as evidenced by the Roswithastraße and the Helgaweg.

The boundaries of Rüttenscheid are formed as follows:
In the north, Kahrstrasse, Witteringstrasse and Rellinghauser Strasse form the border with the southern district ; in the east the Sabinastrasse and the Birkenstrasse the border with Huttrop ; in the south the federal autobahn 52 , the Heinrich-Held-Straße, the Wiedfeldtstraße, the Einigkeitstraße, the street Nelkengarten and again the A52 the borders to Bergerhausen , Stadtwald and Bredeney ; in the west the western border of the Grugapark and the Külshammerweg, the cycle path on the former railway line , the Virchowstraße, the Krawehlstraße, the Brunostraße, the Albrechtstraße and the Demrathkamp street to Margarethenhöhe and Holsterhausen .
