At the broken hand 300 Rupture area of ​​the Handbach The Handbach used to flood an area, which became a rupture area, which was called "Handbruch" after the creek. When the first shaft of the Hugo Haniel colliery was sunk in 1895 , the Handbach was moved to the south and most of the Handbruch was drained. The street names “Waldteichstraße” and “Am Handbruch” were later interchanged, so that the Waldteichstraße in the Black Heath runs through the eponymous Handbruch, while Am Handbruch in the Waldteich district forms a cul-de-sac to the Bahnstraße.
At the moat 190 Holten city moat Along with the wall, the moat was an important part of the city fortifications of Holten in the Middle Ages. It was about ten meters wide and was fed by the Mühlenbach, which was divided at the site of today's Catholic Church of St. Johann Baptist and flowed around the city. Today's street Am Stadtgraben is located on the southwestern part of the old town moat and leads from Burgstraße to the old "church gate", which was on the arterial road to Walsum, where it continues as Dinslakener Straße.
Bahnstrasse 1800 Holten train station 1908 The Bahnstraße is the connection from Holten to the train station on the border with Schmachtendorf. The citizens of Holten pushed for the construction of the stop in 1887 and took over the costs of the building, which is why the station, although it was in Hiesfeld's area, was named "Holten". Originally the connection was called the long way because it connected the remote town of Holten with the northern highway from Dinslaken to Essen. It was probably paved between today's Drostenkampstrasse and the town of Holten and was therefore called Steinweg . From 1842 to 1886 it was called Zollernstraße and then Bahnhofstraße until it was given its current name in 1908.

In 1806 the fields of Drostenkamp were sold to the Holten citizens and the street laid out on the site in 1893 was named "Drostenkampstraße" after the old name. As an extension of Otto-Roelen-Straße, this street leads northwards from Bahnstraße to Barmingholten, where it is continued as Graßhofstraße.
Elisenstrasse 300 named either after the "Elsenbruch" or Elisabeth von der Capellen Elisenstrasse could either be named after the old Elsenbruch, a break area with alder trees, or it could trace its name back to the abbess Elisabeth von der Capellen, who fled to Holten in 1583 before the destruction of the Sterkrader monastery in the Thirty Years War and stayed there for almost 30 years .

So Holten came into the hands of the Counts of the Mark, who thereby extended their sphere of influence to the Lower Rhine and became competitors of the Counts of Kleve and Archbishops of Cologne.
