The next Brecker mountain, the geographic center of the community

Nächstebreck was until 1922 a municipality in the district of Schwelm and is now a for Wuppertal District Oberbarmen belonging district in the northeast of the city.

location

Next Breck is to the north of the urban area of Wichlinghausen and Langerfeld and lies on three heights rising to the north, separated by stream valleys. The central elevation is the approx. 300 meter high next Brecker mountain, on which the eponymous "Braken" is located. At the highest point in the east is a modern water tower .

Today the area of ​​Nachbarebreck is divided into two quarters:

etymology

According to Erich Schultze-Gebhardt , next brackish means "next (= this side) to bracken" . Bracken is the name given to an elongated ridge that can be seen in the north of the north, as a watershed between the Wupper and Ruhr river systems . The area north of it belongs to the Sprockhövel district of Gennebreck , which means "located on the other side of the Bracken ".

history

In the 11th and 12th centuries, some of the farms such as Einern , Bruch and Haarhausen are the oldest records in the area of Nachbarebreck. In the following centuries several other farms around the area called Braken (now Bracken) are mentioned. In 1324 at the latest, the rural area of Kurköln fell to the County of Mark . The next Brecker southwest border along the Schellenbeck brook has been the territorial border between the Duchy of Berg and the County of Mark since the Bergisch- Mark disputes following the Battle of Kleverhamm in 1420 .

In 1486, Nebenebreck was first mentioned as a rural community Im Nesten Braken with 14 local farmers. In 1614, next bridge with the county of Mark falls to Brandenburg-Prussia . In 1738 Nachbarebreck had 560 inhabitants in 146 families. Yarn bleaching and weaving mills will soon join agriculture, which will keep the population rising steadily.

Urban settlement occurs primarily on the Hottenstein and along the further course of the road from Barmen to Witten , today's Wittener Strasse. This "Witten main coal road " was around 1820 as the most traveled route in the county of Mark. Further north, the road crosses the Dreigrenzen area and leaves the municipality as Schmiedestraße (site of an old forge and a toll office). Another closed settlement forms west of the Stahlsberg and the Schellenbeck brook south of the oldest Einern farm.

With the entire county of Mark, the peasantry fell to France after the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 . This unites the County of Mark with the Duchy of Berg in 1808 to form the Grand Duchy of Berg and, as an administrative unit, forms the Ruhr department , which is assigned to Nachbarebreck as part of Mairie Haßlinghausen . After the collapse of French rule in 1813, it goes back to Prussia . There it belonged to the office of Langerfeld , which initially belonged to the district of Hagen iW . In 1887, together with other neighboring communities, the newly founded Schwelm district came into being .

In 1877 the first Evangelical-Lutheran congregation was founded in Nachbarebreck. In 1884 a railway line was opened from Wichlinghausen to Hattingen, which ran through Nachbarebreck, and in 1908 the Barmen tram extended its Barmen-Weiherstraße route through Nextebreck and Schmiedestraße to Haßlinghausen (today a part of Sprockhövel ).

On August 5, 1922, Nebenebreck was incorporated together with Langerfeld in the neighboring city of Barmen, which became part of the city of Barmen-Elberfeld, now Wuppertal , on August 1, 1929 , and has shared its history since then.

1970 arrived at the municipal reorganization of the Ennepe-Ruhr district the farms or residential areas flowers Roth, Erlenrode and Uhlenbruch (of the dissolved municipality Linder Hausen ) and Schmiedestraße (of the dissolved community Haßlinghausen the Westphalian Office Haßlinghausen ) to Nächstebreck.

The next breck project

1966–1971 Next Breck was the subject of the last major Wuppertal housing project of the post-war period, which however was discarded. Encouraged by the head of construction, Friedrich Hetzelt , an appraisal from 1968 endorsed apartments for initially 2,000 residents and an industrial area to the east with up to 7,000 jobs. Since the single-track railway line to Hattingen seemed unsuitable for local passenger traffic, an extension of the Wuppertal suspension railway through the Schwarzbach into the new district was planned. In 1969, Friedrich Spengelin was commissioned with the overall development plan for the site . Finally, the entire area south of today's A 46 to the east of the A 1 was included in the planning and a residential area for 28,000 people was planned. The streams of Mählersbeck and Junkersbeck were to be designed like a park and a small lake was to be dammed up; In addition to high-rise buildings on the traffic axes, a terrace development was planned for the next Brecker mountain.

After the local elections in 1969, critical voices began to grow louder for the project, which had previously been unanimously approved by the council. Since 1963, the population, which had risen to 423,450 inhabitants to date, had begun to decline again and it had to be feared that the settlement of the planned Next Breck would attract residents from the valley axis, which could become less attractive. The high costs of around one billion marks (with a municipal financial share of 310 million) seemed too risky to the critics. The critics around the newly created urban development department pleaded for covering the estimated need for new housing in already populated areas near the city. After completion of the development plan, the project reached the city council in March 1971, which was just as divided on the topic down to the individual factions as the administration and discussed the topic controversially for four hours - the only such case so far in the city council's post-war history. The city council did not want to decide the project and decided to take a 'pause for thought', which persuaded the proponent of the project, senior city director Werner Stelly, to resign two months later. His successor Rolf Krumsiek succeeded in integrating the project into the entire urban planning of Wuppertal in such a way that the urgent needs of the new district and the planning were postponed and declared a "planning reserve". Only around 1,400 apartments in Haarhausen / Gennebreck / Einern in the western part of the area, today in the Neighborhood West , were built. There was no formal decision not to build on the next bridge, but the plans were never followed up. In 1977 the council finally decided on a development plan that identified the area as a recreation zone and an important fresh air corridor for the valley floor. The planned extension of the suspension railway, in the end at least as far as Beule / Wittener Straße, was maintained until 1975 and only then was rejected by the city council.

Quote

“The Next Breckers are quite self-confident and like to set themselves apart from the Oberbarmern, remnants perhaps from the time when the city fathers couldn't get used to it, in 1922 no longer to the Westphalian Schwelm, but to the Westphalian-looking town of Barmen, which belongs to the Rhineland to be counted "

The stop on the former railway line to Hattingen

The disused railway Wuppertal-Wichlinghausen-Hattingen had in Nächstebreck, near the settlement Bracken , a 1884 set up break point under the name Bracken . In 1925 the name was changed to Barmen-Nachbarebreck , the next name to be changed to Weiterebreck in 1936. This stop was run as Wuppertal-Nachbarebreck from the beginning of the 1950s until the line was closed at the end of 1979.
