Münster-Pluggendorf
Pluggendorf is a district, or in the official parlance living area, of the Westphalian city of Münster . It belongs to the core area of the city and is therefore part of the Mitte district . The city district almost coincides with the statistical district of the same name, which at the end of 2003 had a population of around 2,400 inhabitants and an area of 0.53 km². In addition to its function as a residential area, there are several public institutions in Pluggendorf, including the Münster Chamber of Crafts , the student union with the cafeteria on Lake Aasee , the youth hostel, the Westphalia-Lippe Chamber of Pharmacists and some university institutions of the Westphalian Wilhelms University on Scharnhorststrasse .
The Pluggendorf district is located southwest of the Aegidiitores of the former medieval city fortifications, which can be easily recognized through the promenade . During the Middle Ages and the early modern period, the grain mills stood on this site on the course of the Munster Aa before it entered the actual urban area. Today's Pluggendorf is bounded in a north-westerly direction by the Aasee , in the south by the Kolde-Ring and in the east mainly by the Bundesstraße 219 ( Weseler Straße ). The main traffic axis in the quarter is Scharnhorststraße , which runs in a north-westerly direction across Pluggendorf.
The term pluggen refers to piles on which houses were previously built. Much of Pluggendorf was marshland. The streets An den Mühlen and An den Bleichen can be found in the Pluggendorf district . In the past, laundry was washed here (i.e. bleached) and the Pluggendorfer mill was located there.
In addition to the Herz-Jesu-Viertel (also: Klein-Muffi ), the Sonnenstraßenviertel and the Kuhviertel, Pluggendorf was one of four residential quarters in which the red-white Masematte was spoken. In all four quarters, people from Münster with “socially low status” lived as excluded.
