Location of Oespel in Dortmund

Oespel is the statistical district 75 and at the same time a western part of the city of Dortmund . It is located in the Lütgendortmund district . The resident population of Oespel was 4,250 in 2019.

In contrast to some other Westphalian place names, Oespel's "Oe" is normally spoken with a short Ö-umlaut ( Öspel instead of incorrectly Ohspel ), especially since the name of the place was previously written as Öspel .

geography

Oespel is about six kilometers west to southwest of Dortmund city center. The town is bordered by the districts of Kley , Marten , Dorstfeld , Barop and Eichlinghofen and in the south by the Witten district of Stockum .

In the south of the village there is an extensive wooded area, the Dorney , the adjoining residential area Oespels is characterized by single-family houses. In the northeast, the growing Dortmund Technology Park is approaching the Oespeler residential development. In this area of ​​Oespels there are mostly small apartment buildings.

The construction of the S-Bahn line 1 between Dortmund and Düsseldorf changed the townscape. The S-Bahn runs through Oespel as an elevated railway on concrete stilts and has thus divided the grown town center since the early 1980s. The Dortmund-Oespel stop on the Witten / Dortmund – Oberhausen / Duisburg railway line is now in the center of the village .

history

The first settlement of the Oespeler local area can be dated to the Bronze Age. After the Second World War, some urn graves were first discovered in a field. In a new excavation in 1991, a total of 28 barrows were found in which cremation remains in urns and isolated grave goods were found. Among other things, a small iron ball was discovered in a grave, which is the oldest iron find in the Ruhr area .

Today's Oespel district is much more recent. In lifting registers of Werden Abbey to documents about the year found 880 a peasant named Tospelli, today Oespel show. The name Oespel appears for the first time in the 16th century. The coat of arms of Oespel, which shows two crossed pitchforks, was first documented in 1357.

Evangelical Church Oespel

The rural character of the village of Oespel only changed with the onset of industrialization . The coal seams that emerged there have always been exploited in the Dorney forest. The first underground mines were then built around 1850. There were a total of four mines in the Oespel area: the Borussia colliery , later renamed the Oespel colliery , the planet field colliery , the Im white field colliery and the Oespel II colliery . The last mines to be shut down were Oespel and Oespel II in 1962.

The Indupark Oespel was created on the areas of the Oespel colliery that are now available. Originally conceived as an industrial area, today you can almost exclusively find large retailers such as Hellweg Baumarkt , Ikea , Mövenpick -Weinland, the Indupark Center and the Staples office supply chain .

On April 1, 1928, Öspel (the spelling of the place at that time) was incorporated into Dortmund.
