List of streets in Essen-Steele

The list of streets in Essen-Steele describes the street system in the Essen district of Steele with the corresponding historical references.

Introduction and overview

In Steele, 16,741 people (March 31, 2020) live in an area of ​​3.03 square kilometers. Steele has the postcode district 45276.

The place Steele is first mentioned in 840. He received city ​​rights in 1578 . At the beginning of the 18th century the town of Steele belonged to the Essen monastery . The eastern settlements on Prussian territory, belonging to the province of Westphalia , were referred to as Königssteele . In 1794, the new road from Essen via Steele to Bochum, which was laid down by the Minister von Heinz in 1787, was completed. The users of the highway had to pay a toll. Before 1890 there were isolated but very old street names for the town of Steele. They had nothing to do with the numbering of the buildings, which was divided into sections. The city council of November 18, 1890 lifted this structure and introduced street-by-street numbering in the town of Steele, with existing street names becoming official. For less developed urban areas, such as the Ruhrau, numbering districts were introduced and the streets were named later. In 1926 the town of Steele was merged with Königssteele, to which Freisenbruch , Horst and Eiberg had also belonged since 1919 , which resulted in some renaming. Up until then, each of these communities was responsible for naming the streets, some names are already mentioned in official registers in 1864. Königssteele began numbering streets by street in 1904. In 1929 Steele was incorporated into the city of Essen. After heavy destruction in the Second World War and reconstruction, some streets, especially in the Steeler Center, changed their names. In the 1960s and 1970s, major urban restructuring measures took place in the Steeler Center under the heading of redevelopment. As a result, many streets and squares were closed, relocated or rebuilt.

The district is bounded clockwise from the north as follows:
In the north, the streets Zum Oberhof and Lohdiekweg form the border. In the west it runs east of the street Lohmühlental further over the street Nottebaumskamp, ​​south through the Isingpark, east past the Erich-Kästner-Gesamtschule and further over the Freisenbruchstrasse and the Bochumer Landstrasse. In the south it runs from Bochumer Landstrasse over the Ruhr Bridge Steele . Then the Ruhr forms the border of the district up to Spillenburgstrasse. This forms the western border, which continues over the Mählerweg. Then the border runs on a section of the railway line from Steele to Essen and continues on the streets Abbessinsteig, Woldrüggen and Steeler path.

There are 106 designated traffic areas in Steele, including seven squares. Of these, 18 streets are only partially in the district: In
addition to the streets mentioned above, which form the district boundaries in whole or in part, Krayer Strasse, Schönscheidtstrasse, Woldrüggen Street, Steeler Path and Lohmühlental Street, which lead to Kray ; the Nottebaumskamp road, which leads to Leithe ; Hellweg, Bochumer Landstrasse and Freisenbruchstrasse, which lead to Freisenbruch ; the Kurt-Schumacher-Brücke, which leads to Überruhr -Hinsel, and the Laurentiusweg and Steeler Strasse, which lead to Huttrop .

The following streets run through Steele with the status of a state road :
