Location of Marten in Dortmund

Marten is the statistical district 74 and at the same time a western part of the city of Dortmund . It is located in the Lütgendortmund district .

history

Marten developed around the Hellweg around the turn of the millennium . The Marten district is mentioned for the first time in a register of the Werden monastery from around 1000, namely in a soul memory .

In the 19th century, Marten initially belonged to the Lütgendortmund office , but on April 1, 1886, it was added to the newly established Dorstfeld office . When the office was dissolved with effect from June 10, 1914 and most of the municipalities of the office were incorporated into the Dortmund district, the remaining municipality of Marten was not added to the Lütgendortmund office again, but became an independent administrative district and subsequently gained in importance.

On April 1, 1928, Marten was incorporated into the city of Dortmund. As part of the local government reform in 1975, the administrative district was assigned to the district of Lütgendortmund despite all opposition and thus lost its importance.

During a severe storm on July 26, 2008, large parts of the Marten town center were flooded.

The place

The spatial structure of Martens is mainly characterized by the dichotomy. The older town center forms the center with the market square, shops, post office and savings bank; the younger Germania settlement, which was built next to the former United Germania colliery as a workers' settlement, is purely a residential area. These two Marten regions are separated from each other by the Marten Park and the Roßbach . As a larger district, Marten also has a small - partly calm - shopping street (in the mile) with many small shops and an adjacent avenue .

The Wischlingen Revierpark is in the immediate vicinity of Martens, as is the Hallerey nature reserve , which can be reached on foot in 5–10 minutes from the center of Marten. The Marten cemetery is partly in the area of ​​the Dorstfeld district and belongs to both districts.

Population and settlement development

The growing United Germania colliery and the rapidly increasing industrialization in the Ruhr area in the second half of the 19th century meant that more and more miners were sought. These came u. a. also from other German countries, but above all from the former eastern regions of Prussia , from the former Kingdom of Poland , from Masuria and also from Upper Silesia , so-called Ruhr Poland . In 1890 the proportion of immigrants in the total population was 45%, in 1919 it was 52%. Because of the rapidly increasing population, there was a shortage of housing, which could only be counteracted after many years with new colliery settlements. The colliery settlements of Germania (opposite the colliery) and Neu-Crengeldanz were built, which were expanded to include residential buildings on the street Auf dem Toren.

Buildings and facilities

Until the 1960s there was a building in Marten that was popularly known as the Red House . According to tradition, Napoleon I stayed in this house on his way to Russia. The Red House was demolished; today a street still reminds of its location.

Churches

Until the 19th century there was no church in Marten. The Catholics belonged to the Kirchlinde church play and the Protestant residents to the parish of the Bartholomäuskirche Lütgendortmund. Due to the growing Catholic population in Marten, a new parish church had to be built. In order to be able to raise the funds for the construction, the Martener Bonifatius Verein was founded. On July 24, 1898 the foundation stone was laid for the building on a site that was given to the church. The Catholic Holy Family Church was inaugurated on October 24, 1899.

The Protestant Immanuel Church , built in 1908 in Art Nouveau style, is an architectural specialty in the region. The Protestant community of Martens had separated from the mother community of Lütgendortmund long before the construction was started. the services initially took place in a barn on the Teiner Hof. Since there was not enough space, it was decided to build a new building.

Since 1929 there has been a congregation of the New Apostolic Church in Marten, which has had its own church building since 1953. From 1995 to 1997, extensive renovation and reconstruction work was carried out on the building in Altenrathstrasse.

Germania colliery

In 1842 Friedrich Harkort acquired a mining license for coal from the Royal Mining Authority in Bochum for the Oespel area , which gave him permission to mine coal. The first attempts at drilling were financially supported by Heinrich Gottfried Bergfeld. After Harkort had sold his stake to a Witten glass manufacturer for 1,040 thalers, on July 3, 1850, all drilling fields merged to form the “United Germania Union”. Production started at the end of 1858. By 1867, the mine employed 519 workers who extracted around 100,000 t per year. In 1872 two new unions were founded, the Müllensiefen union and the Martener Bergwerk-Verein Germania union. The latter, however, soon went bankrupt and was replaced by the Germania trade union association. In the same year, the foundation stone was laid for the 2/3 mine, which soon began to be mined. On February 14, 1892, the colliery merged with Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG , which was founded and managed by Friedrich Grillo (1825–1888). After this merger, the number of jobs grew rapidly.

From the coal mine essentially only the wage hall and the Black are now chew the training centers of received, Christian youth village house (CJD). The headframe of the mine is still preserved, but it now adorns the German Mining Museum in Bochum.

Educational institutions

According to reports from the prefecture of 1809, the school situation in Lütgendortmund and Marten is said to have been very bad. It is also said that the schools have run down and funds are needed for repairs. The community later decided to build a new school building with the citizens sharing the costs. In April 1811 the approval of the new building was given. In 1852 38 boys and 39 girls went to school in Marten. In the 1860s the number of school-goers had increased so much that the building was no longer sufficient. It was decided to open a second class and have another teacher hold classes in shifts. In 1866 the District Administrator Arnsberg decided to build another new building.

Office building

The landmark of the district is the former Marten office building at Steinhammerstrasse 3, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2006. It was built in 1906 as a branch of the Dorstfeld office and contained two rooms for the police, a registration office , a registry office and a large meeting room. From 1914, when Marten became a separate district after the Dorstfeld office was dissolved, it was the seat of the Marten office. When Marten was incorporated into Dortmund in 1928, the building became the seat of the Marten administration office until the regional reform in 1975. The building later had various uses, including the Sparkasse . The building has been the headquarters of ZWAR eV since 1991
