history

Oberlohbeg belonged to the mayor's office of Dinslaken-Land until 1905 and then to the mayor's office of Hiesfeld until 1917 and is located in the north of Dinslaken.

On the Oberlohberg, some properties formed the Hiesfeld farming community of Oberlohberg. In 1585, the Hiesfeld and Oberlohberg congregations had almost completely turned to Protestantism. The remaining Catholics had to go to the St. Vincentius Church in Dinslaken to celebrate their services. However, the number of Catholics increased due to the influx of workers in the period of industrialization. In particular, the proximity to the planned Lohberg mine suggested that this development would intensify. Therefore, in 1883, the mayor of Dinslaken Bernsau granted permission to build a church at the highest point in Oberlohberg, the Herz-Jesu-Kirche .

geography

Oberlohberg is on the east by the motorway A 3 , which Oberlohberg of county and Sträterei separates the north of Huenxe-Bruckhausen , west of Lohberg and in the south and southeast of Hiesfeld limited. The place serves primarily as a residential area and is characterized by its proximity to wooded local recreation areas with excursion restaurants in the area of the Rotbachtal and the Hünxerwald . The Pestalozzidorf settlement belongs to the Oberlohberg settlement district . One of the sights is the Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus . Oberlohberg not only has its own church, but also its own kindergarten and a long day where working parents can leave their children until 5 p.m. Oberlohberg is being expanded more and more in order to provide more living space (especially social living space is planned). As a result, Oberlohberg is moving away from its originally rural and rural character towards a residential area.

Origin of name

It is named after the Oberlohberg. Before being overlaid with a mine dump, it reached a height of 68 m above sea level and was originally overgrown with young oaks, which were used for peeling:

In earlier times tan was needed to make leather . This is the bark of young oaks with the tannic acid they contain. Preferably in spring, when the tree was in sap, the bark was removed from the trunk of the 20 to 30 year old oaks with a spoon. The bare poles were cut off and used as firewood. Since oaks tolerate being put on the stick, new shoots emerged on the ground, which were later used again for peeling.

In some areas, the cleared forest areas were also "burned" in order to remove the small branches, destroy weeds and extract mineral fertilizers. Potatoes were then planted in May, winter cereals (rye) in the second year and summer cereals (oats, barley, buckwheat) in the third year between the pieces of root that were already sprouting. After that, the young oaks took their place again.

The tan was dried in the barn and bundled into about 40 pounds after storage.

Then the pieces of bark were brought to the Hiesfeld mills and sold to the miller. He chopped and ground them in order to then sell them in small blocks to the Dinslaken tanneries.

Butchers and cattle farmers had sold the skins of their slaughtered animals there. After they had previously been depilated, these were then placed in a pit filled with water together with the Loh constancy. After a few days a tannic acid broth developed. This degraded the protein-containing substances in the skin. The skins were dried and could then be processed as leather.

The remaining leached tan was dried and pressed. The resulting Lohkuchen served to Ofenanzünden and also for firing. It was also used in the medical treatment of skin diseases.
