history

Munscheid was an independent municipality that initially belonged to the Bochum district. On May 24, 1876, the day Bochum was separated, this district officially became the Bochum district . The population of this district rose steadily, so that on July 1, 1885, large parts of the area had to be ceded to the new districts of Gelsenkirchen and Hattingen. Munscheid was awarded to the district of Gelsenkirchen, which was officially renamed the district of Gelsenkirchen on April 1, 1897, when Gelsenkirchen was evacuated .

On April 1, 1926, the municipality of Munscheid was dissolved by the law on the reorganization of municipal boundaries in the Rhenish-Westphalian industrial districts and incorporated into the city of Wattenscheid . Munscheid has belonged to Bochum since January 1, 1975, the day Wattenscheid was incorporated.
