On the eastern edge of the district there are also larger apartment buildings and the high-rise group in the Am Spörkel area .

Menglinghausen borders on the districts of Barop , Eichlinghofen and Persebeck .

history

In 1368 Johan von Menglinghausen, the Märkische Richter zu Eichlinghofen , was mentioned in a document as a resident of today's Lennhof.

At the beginning of industrialization, the district was an important mining location and initially housed numerous small mines, which were later consolidated by the Louise Tiefbau union . Today only the remains of a mining dump bear witness to this tradition.

Until 1874 Menglinghausen belonged to the Lütgendortmund office in the Dortmund district, since then to the Barop office in the Dortmund district , and from 1887 to the Hörde district . Around 1920 Menglinghausen was incorporated into Barop .

The mines in Menglinghausen

The tunnel mining in Menglinghausen goes back to about the year 1771. An early mine in the parish was the Menglinghauser Zeche Holthausen . It was created in 1834 through the merger of the two pits Schönfelder Erbstollen and Frischgewagter Erbstollen. The underground mine Kaiser Friedrich emerged from the Henriette , Hummelbank and Holthausen mines (mainly located in what is now the Eichlinghofen district ) . It was founded in 1871 by the Bergisch-Märkischer Bergwerksverein in Dortmund with a capital of 4.2 million marks.

In 1883 the company was converted into the Baroper coal mines union, which went bankrupt in 1887. A newly founded union Kaiser Friedrich took over the colliery in 1888. The Deutsch-Luxemburgische Bergwerks- und Hütten-AG , to which the United Wiendahlsbank collieries in Kruckel, Louise-Tiefbau in Barop and Glückauf-Tiefbau in Hombruch belonged, rounded off their property in 1901 with the purchase of the Kaiser Friedrich colliery. The number of workers at the Kaiser Friedrich colliery rose from 841 in 1900 to almost 1500 in 1913. The colliery had a large coking plant with 200 ovens. In 1913 a benzene factory was added. There was a connection between Wiendahlsbank and Kaiser Friedrich on the 5th floor and, since 1913, a breakthrough to the Louise mine.

After the First World War, the Kaiser Friedrich mine fell victim to the great collapse in the south of Dortmund. In 1925 it had to be shut down. Most recently, around 3,600 people were employed at the colliery. The mine field came under water, the daytime facilities were demolished except for the coking plant. This remained in operation for the time being; it received the coal from the Minister Stein colliery in Eving . In 1930 the coking plant also had to be shut down.

Remains of the Kaiser Friedrich colliery

The coking plant's former washhouse is still on the grounds of the pony farm at Sturmwald. At the Spörkel there is a lake on private property that is fed with pit water (groundwater). This lake was created in the 1950s by subsidence.
