The east quarter is one of 18 districts and one of four nominal districts around the inner city of Recklinghausen . Strictly speaking, it is one of five “fifths of the city” that occupies the north-east of the city center, alongside the north quarter (N), the west quarter (W), the Paulusviertel (S) and Hillen (SO). It has in common with the north and west quarters that it is mainly on the Vestic ridge , to a large extent around and over 100  m above sea level. NHN , is located, of which Hillen (here the sub-district Quellberg ) and especially the Paulusviertel only notice the southern slope and in parts are already part of the flat, undulating Emschertal .

The main traffic artery of the district is the Dortmunder Straße running east-northeast in the direction of Groß-Erkenschwick , Horneburg and Datteln , which today only serves as a residential street in the western part.

geography

Location and limits

The east quarter on a map from 1907, today's settlement areas are colored
(→ overview, only current settlement areas , → legend )

The east quarter stretches from the Münster – Wanne-Eickel railway in the west and the Dordrechtring or August-Schmidt-Ring in the west, south and east to the intersection with the districts (counterclockwise) Hillen (SW), Berghausen (S), Suderwich (SO) and Essel (NO) immediately south of the Loh wood. From there, the district boundary goes approximately to the northeast to Schultenkrug at the intersection of Esseler Strasse and Dortmunder / Horneburger Strasse , where the urban area of ​​the northeastern neighboring town of Oer-Erkenschwick begins. Its northern boundary to the Speckhorn / Bockholt district extends from the intersection of the railway line with the motorway feeder to Oer-Erkenschwick eastwards to the neighboring town. The railway in the west to the main train station west of the tracks are still included in the district.

The August-Schmidt-Ring , which delimits the district to the south to Hillen , leads almost immediately from the lowest to the highest point of the district; within 1750 meters, it overcomes from the intersection in front of the Kreishaus ( 63.7  m ) to the junction of the Höhenweg on the edge of the Fritzberg (at about 109.5  m ) almost 50 meters of difference in altitude with an average of 2.6% gradient; the highest point of the Fritzberg ( 113.6  m ), which is just on the Hillen area, is only 170 m away from that junction. The Dortmunder Straße, which is central to the district, also overcomes considerable height differences ( 68  m to 108  m ) with a not slight gradient (2.7% in the lower main section).

structure

The names are known settlements of Ostviertels are along the Dortmund street, Kuniberg (north of the road) to the southwest, the Hinsberg (mostly north) in the center and the Lohwegsiedlung (mostly south) to the east and the Oerweg south flanking a long bath , the connects from the north to the more western Hinsberg. On and to the south of the lowest sections of Dortmunder Straße, more or less two other quarters can be identified that have no well-known names:
The south-west and west-facing slopes of the Kuniberg with the Villa Franka and the former brewery location, which are close to the city center and accessible from Dortmunder Straße, also form part of the building On both sides of the Castroper and the Dortmunder Straße, bounded by the Douaistraße in the northeast, the Dordrechtring in the southeast and the Sandershof in the west, a small sub-district that more or less still belongs to the city center and also forms the Hillen bridge to it. Furthermore, the uphill section of Dortmunder Straße (on both sides) up to the intersection with Kardinal-von-Galen-Straße with the settlements that adjoin to the south-east to Graveloher Weg forms a sub-district to which Klausenerstraße and the old people's home are also included.

The larger pure settlement areas of the east quarter are (along with details of the areas):

• Villa Franka / Sandershof: 13.2 ha without Dordrechtring, of which 1.1 ha is a vocational school
• Untere Dortmunder Straße: 23.2 ha, of which Jahnschule 1.0 ha
• Kuniberg: 27.2 ha, of which college / peace church / sports hall / bunker 2.9 ha and secondary school 1.2 ha
• Hinsberg 69.0 ha
  • Vorderer or western Hinsberg ( Ossenberg ; including Beuthener and south side of Breslauer Straße and west side of Hinsbergstraße ): 27.4 hectares, of which 7.8 hectares are sports and playground in the north, at the interface with the Lange Wanne
  • Mittlerer Hinsberg: 27.2 ha, of which 2.8 ha stadium and 0.8 ha Drissenplatz
  • Canisiusviertel (west of the Ostcharweg ): 10.3 hectares, of which 4.4 hectares are churches and schools
  • Eastern Canisiusviertel: 4.1 ha
• Lohweg settlement: 52.1 ha, of which 7.8 ha is new development
  • Core settlement (east of Ostcharweg and south of Dortmunder Straße): 43.2 hectares
  • West Hans-Böckler-Strasse : 7.1 ha
  • Block north of Ziegelgrund and Dortmunder Straße: 1.8 ha
• Long tub 26.3 ha, of which 12.2 ha stadium / allotment gardens

The above delimitation of the Lohweg settlement by Dortmunder Strasse and Höhenweg is not the only conceivable one, but it does justice to the formerly common name of the trade union quarter and does not divide any residential streets such as Canisius and Hans-Böckler-Strasse. Another conceivable border would be the Ostcharweg, which was the old border between the municipality of Recklinghausen-Land or Essel and the city. In any case, the westernmost part is now separated from the core settlement in that it can only be reached by car from the Höhenweg. Conversely, the east of the western part and the eastern part of Canisiusstraße are only passable from the Ostcharweg and are therefore somewhat separated from the core Hinsberg.

If one relates the population density of the east quarter only to the above-mentioned, contiguous and merging settlement areas together with schools / churches and sports fields, but without surrounding fields, railway systems and the former site of the General Blumenthal colliery , shafts III and IV together with the Blumenthal campus (around 4 , 3 ha), the quarter has a population density of almost 11,000 inhabitants (the smaller, rural residential areas and settlements would have to be deducted) on 2.1 km², i.e. around 5,000 inhabitants per km². Of these settlements, the Hinsberg takes up about a third, another third (Sandershof to lower Dortmunder Straße / Kuniberg) is close to the city center and the remaining third (Lohwegiedlung and, separately, the Lange Wanne) tends to be outside the city.

Brewery District

Lower Dortmunder Strasse

The lower Dortmunder Strasse; left house no. 104, which had remained for a long time towards the city center (right) without a neighboring house.

The steeper lower section of the Dortmunder Straße was almost undeveloped at the beginning of the 20th century, after this section of the street was only built in the second half of the 19th century and is thus the youngest of the entire street. Around the same time as the colliery colony was built on Hinsberg and Mitteler Dortmunder Strasse, only the adjacent, northeastern 100 meters were built; the closure of the vacant lots up to the city center then progressed in stages until the 1950s, when the residential area adjoining the south-east facing Graveloher Weg was built, which, however, only became a fully built-up settlement in the 1960s.

Kuniberg

The Kuniberg bunker

A kind of "landmark" of the Kuniberg is the old Kuniberg bunker at the edge , on the roof of which today there are transmitters. The settlement, which adjoins the same to the south-west of the city center, was not built until the 1960s; previously there had only been the ravine that is still preserved today, which had been more or less part of the Dortmunder Straße until the current lower section was created. The street names of the quarter are named after landscapes such as Münsterland , Sauerland , Siegerland , Westerwald , Eifel and Hunsrück , apart from the central street Im Kuniberg , whose southwest section runs over the old ravine .

Hinsberg

Two of the building types within the colony

Hiberniastrasse, west of the colony

The Hinsberg is the central settlement of the Recklinghäuser Ostviertel and also the oldest.

In the middle of the 19th century, the term Hinsberg did not refer to a mountain, but to a grove which, at 19 hectares, was only a fifth as large as the Loh of that time, but still more than three times as large as the current one. It was roughly in the field segment that is now separated by the Im Hinsberg field path in the west and north and the Ostcharweg in the east; the south edge went roughly parallel to the south edge of the concrete plant, brook northwest it easily crossed today's dirt road and went to about the edge of the field of the stadium on the long tub. Its "peak" in the south reaches just 92.3  m , the one on the northeast edge 100.4  m above sea level. NHN , which means that the namesake is lower than the settlement named after him, which reaches up to 108  m on the edge of the Fritzberg .

Another mountain already marked by name on old maps is the Ossenberg . Its summit area is located immediately to the west of Hinsbergstraße and reaches a little more than 100  m both north and south of Breslauer Straße , but remains slightly below it on the road.

In 1895, the sinking work began east of Ossenberg for shaft III of the General Blumenthal colliery . At this time, six houses were already being built on Buddestraße, i.e. on the eastern slope of Ossenberg and immediately to the east of the mine. Above all, 400 to 1000 meters east of these houses, one of the city's oldest closed miners' colonies was built. It is enclosed in a ring by Hinsbergstrasse in the west, Hiberniastrasse in the north, Canisiusstrasse in the east and Dortmunder Strasse in the southeast and south, with Hiberniastrasse branching out in the northeast, around Drissenplatz . This settlement is again divided into 2 segments in a north-south direction by Johannesstraße and on the north side of Dortmunder Straße it is extended 250 meters to the northeast.

Overall, this colony covers an area of ​​around 15 hectares. The houses on Hiberniastraße and Drissenplatz, on which a plane tree avenue will be laid out, have three storeys with a raised single storey and are arranged on plots of around 1000 m², either individually or as semi-detached houses. Their equipment therefore corresponds to upscale mining employees such as B. Increase. On the Dortmunder Strasse, on the other hand, two-storey construction of semi-detached houses predominates with an average of only 600 to in individual cases 1000 m² per semi-detached house.

In December 1909, Horneburger Strasse (Dortmunder Strasse) was connected to the tram to Erkenschwick and Datteln, which initially made this street - which was almost completely built up in the area around the Hinsberg - into a preferred settlement area. Gradually, the part of the street connecting to the south-west of the Hinsberg and, in the north-eastern connection, the south side of the street in the area where the Lohweg settlement was to arise later, filled up. The Hinsberg was only expanded on the Breslauer Straße, which was extended to the city from Hiberniastraße. It was initially completely built up in the mid-1920s, but after a few years it became patchy again for decades due to the demolition of five larger barracks. In the late 20s, the Hibernia arena was also laid out, a few years later as its counterpart in the north-west of the city, the Victoria arena , which has since been replaced by the new Knappschaftskrankenhaus . Here the SuS Recklinghausen 13 played , which was created in 1913 from the merger of the clubs SK Blumenthal and SV Hibernia 1913 Recklinghausen. Outside the city at that time, which was only expanded to include the greater part of Essel in 1926 , a brickworks was built before 1920, northeast of the Hinsberg colony, with a distance of 700 meters between the two brickworks on the Langen Wanne (since the 2nd Half of the 18th century) and in the area of ​​today's Lohweg settlement (since the beginning of the 20th century).

It was not until the 1950s that the Hinsberg expanded to approximately its present size; After Breslau , cities from eastern Germany such as Stettin , Marienburg , Bromberg , Thorn , Koenigsberg , Graudenz , Beuthen , Kolberg and Küstrin have to serve as namesake for streets . Only the streets on which the two churches in the district were built. differ from this nomenclature. The street north of the centrally located Protestant Johanneskirche is to Johann Friedrich Oberlin , the one to the Catholic Canisius Church in the east, a branch of the parish of Liebfrauen in Hillen , like the church itself after Petrus Canisius .

In the mid-1970s, the northwest of the Hinsbergsiedlung towards Langen Wanne was expanded to include Gleiwitzer Strasse (named after Gleiwitz ), where five of the very few high-rise buildings were built in Recklinghausen's urban area. Between them and the brickworks on the Lange Wanne there used to be a rubbish dump, which has given way to an adventure playground in the real sense. The brickworks on Ostcharweg had long since given way to a concrete factory and Canisiusstraße continued east of the former Grenzweg and built on. After the Canisius secondary school was built in the 1960s, the primary school there followed in the mid-1970s. In their eastern vicinity, some of the last houses in the settlement were built in the 21st century.

The two churches in particular are central places on the Hinsberg, with the Hiberniakampfbahn located in close proximity to the Canisius Church playing an additional important role. After the SuS Recklinghausen 13 merged with the SV Viktoria from the Westviertel to form SC Recklinghausen in 1972, the Hibernia and Viktoriakampfbahn shared their roles as the main courts until the Viktoriakampfbahn had to give way to the hospital. However, when the merger with Eintracht Recklinghausen from Südstadt to form 1. FC Recklinghausen was decided in 1981 , a very large part of the former SC members migrated to the police sports club Recklinghausen , which was previously insignificant in football but established in martial arts, and whose main stadium was represents the Hiberniakampfbahn today.

There are traditionally smaller “shopping miles” at the junctures of Kuniberg and Unterer Dortmunder Straße in the southwest and, 600 meters up the street to the east-northeast, between the junctions of Höhenweg and Canisiusstraße and thus in the transition area to the Lohweg settlement. Since the workers' colony on Mittel Dortmunder Straße has developed into a predominantly residential area of ​​former guest workers from Turkey , a former restaurant was rededicated into a mosque in 1977 in the latter mile, right at the confluence of the Höhenweg . This has since been torn down to make way for an Islamic center that is under construction.

Lohweg settlement

The Lohweg immediately before crossing the dry valley on today's Loh; on the left the old beech tree, on the right the building of the Wember restaurant from the 2nd half of the 19th century

The Lohwegsiedlung , formerly mostly called the trade union quarter, is the easternmost settlement of the Recklinghausen eastern quarter and is 100 to over 110  m above sea level. NHN the highest settlement in the Recklinghausen urban area. Its core area lies, east of the Ostcharweg and south of the Dortmunder Straße , mostly in the area of ​​the former municipality of Recklinghausen-Land and the farmers of Essel , which were incorporated in 1926.

In the middle of the 19th century, the Loh , traditionally a common land between Essel, Suderwich , Röllinghausen and Berghausen , was still an 85 hectare beech forest , on the edge of which were today's Haine Loh (in the east) and Johannistal (in the south). To the west it reached to the Ostcharweg, to the north to the Dortmunder Strasse; In the second half of the 19th century, the Lohweg was laid out, which at that time divided it into two half-forests of about the same size and offered an alternative transport connection from Recklinghausen to Suderwich.

Gradually, the forest on the north side was cleared a little, but it only disappeared except for the two relics in the 1910s. At that time, the water tower from 1903 was built immediately west of the Ostcharweg, at the same time as other structures such as the large churches in Paulusviertel, Hillen and Suderwich and the town hall. Nominally it lies in the area of ​​the Hillen district, but it stands at an altitude of 113  m above sea level. NHN and thus around 30 meters higher than the Frankenweg , which marks roughly the highest settlement boundary in Hillen, while the Loh stood almost continuously over 100  m east and northeast of the tower . The 110-meter height line alone includes an area of ​​around 25 hectares, which extends from the water tower to the northeast, to the present-day settlement, and only ends immediately before Otto-Hue- and Letterhausstraße .

A brickworks stood north of the Loh and immediately south of Dortmunder Straße from around the turn of the 20th century . From the end of 1909 it was also well connected by the tram that was now in service from Recklinghausen via Erkenschwick to Datteln. At the same time as the clearing of the Loh, the first continuously built-up street of today's settlement was built between the Ostcharweg and the current location of Fritz-Husemann-Straße on the south side of Dortmunder Straße until shortly before 1920 ; Furthermore, a second brick factory was added on the east side of the northern Ostcharweg, only 300 meters north of this street. In addition, there were few houses scattered throughout the area. One of them, on the south side of the Lohweg, had initially stood in the middle of the Loh when it was built around 1900; the somewhat older, 400 meters southeast of today's restaurant Wember stood on the immediate southeast edge of the forest (today it is on the southern edge of the clearly decimated forest). The small ring-shaped colony on the north side of the western Lohweg was added around 1930, and the brickworks on Dortmunder Straße were shut down in the 1940s. For decades, however, the area of ​​the current settlement remained largely grassland.

This changed a lot in the 1950s when a settlement between Dortmunder Straße and Lohweg, which almost touch in the west, on Ostcharweg, was built according to plan. In the north it was bordered by Fritz-Husemann- and Heinrich-Imbusch-Strasse , in the east by Letterhausstrasse. On the outward-facing side, only Letterhausstrasse was continuously populated, while Lohweg and Dortmunder Strasse were only scattered and not at all on the other two border roads. The namesake of the new streets were exclusively trade unionists with Fritz Husemann , Heinrich Imbusch , Bernhard Letterhaus , Otto Hue and Adam Stegerwald . The new houses, consisting of semi-detached houses each with the same building plan, were almost exclusively occupied by late repatriates (in the sense of the time).

The settlement was further expanded in the mid-1960s. The east side of the north of Fritz-Husemann-Straße was built on, as was the north side of Heinrich-Imbusch-Straße, on which, however, a 100 m long vacant lot initially remained until the end of the 1970s; the brick ground , which remained a temporary solution for a long time, connected it to Dortmunder Strasse, and a football field was set up on its east side. The south of the settlement was expanded to include Hans-Böckler-Strasse and the crossing Wilhelm-Leuschner-Strasse , which ends in a dead end to the south . Hans Böckler and Wilhelm Leuschner were once again named after trade unionists. Ernst-Reuter-Straße , which further divides the segment west of the Ostcharweg, is an exception in this regard , whose namesake Ernst Reuter is probably not to be regarded as a trade unionist in the narrower sense; the last vacant lots on this were closed in the 1980s. At the same time as this expansion of the Lohwegsiedlung, the eastern extension of Canisiusstraße was built north of Dortmunder Straße; On Hans-Böckler-Strasse, on Lohweg, on Dortmunder Strasse (especially on the north side) and on Canisiusstrasse, the first real apartment buildings east of Ostcharweg were built in the 1960s and 1970s.

The settlement between Heinrich-Imbusch-Strasse and Dortmunder Strasse was not completed until the 1990s. While the typical semi-detached houses of the 50s still had plots of up to 1,000 m², in individual cases even more than that, each half of the house now had a total of 600 m²; further apartment buildings were added. The settlement now also has its own kindergarten, which is located in the east of the new part of the settlement.

As a pure residential area, the Lohwegsiedlung has no central squares. Restaurants and small shops until the 1980s were traditionally scattered along Lohweg and Dortmunder Straße; an accumulation can only be found at the interface with the Hinsberg. The settlement has always been divided in (elementary) school and church terms. The Holy Spirit Church in Essel is partly responsible for Catholics, partly the much closer Canisius Church on Hinsberg; the Johanneskirche - also on the Hinsberg, but a little further away - is responsible for Protestants.

Since the end of the 1960s the former Protestant primary school on Dortmunder Strasse was closed, with the Esseler School being rededicated as a non-denominational primary school and, a few years later, the primary school on Canisiusstrasse on Hinsberg was opened, the primary school division corresponds to that of the Catholic churches, whereby However, the catchment area of ​​the Esseler elementary school is larger than that of the church and extends to the Ostcharweg. Long-term residents of the settlement, who either regularly visit the Essel church or who attended the primary school there, often have a certain bond with the village and visit e.g. B. also the local rifle festival there, while regular visitors to the Canisius or Johanneskirche are more connected to the Hinsberg.

As long as the cow pastures between Heinrich-Imbuschstrasse and Dortmunder Strasse, which fell victim to the new buildings in the 1990s, still existed as such, they had been cultivated by Essel farmers. At this time, the former soccer field on Ziegelgrund, which was directly adjacent to the pastures, also played a certain role. With a size of around 50 by 30 meters, it was only half as long and wide as a regular soccer field, but it was by far the largest freely accessible sports field far and wide, so that, especially on Sundays, recreational footballers from the surrounding area also met there . It was called Bolek by those using it, also far beyond the settlement , apparently in reference to the television program Lolek and Bolek . Continuing this Slavification, the playground between Heinrich-Imbusch- and Otto-Hue-Straße, which is less known outside the settlement but still exists today, was commonly referred to as Spielek .

Settlement development

The topographic maps 1: 25,000, sheet 4309 Recklinghausen, since the Prussian first survey in 1842, offer a good overview of the development of the settlement in the east quarter:

• 1842 (Recklinghausen has around 3,500 inhabitants)
  • the present quarter is practically uninhabited
  • the Oerweg as a connection to Oer largely exists in its current course, in large parts as a ravine; However, the section in the area of ​​the Lange Wanne still runs along today's Lange Wanne road
  • the Dortmunder Straße as a connection to Horneburg and Datteln only exists from the intersection at the Kunibergbunker
    • This intersection can be reached directly from the city center via the hollow path in the Kuniberg, which still exists today as a footpath, extended by the northeast part of today's street Im Kuniberg
    • with less incline, but more distance, you can get there via the Frankenweg (see below ) and the predecessors of Gaveloher Weg and Kardinal-von-Galen-Str . there
    • the Frankenweg as the main connecting road to Suderwich already exists in its current course, extended to the west along Douaistr and the lowest part of Dortmunder Str.
  • the Loh, a common land between Essel, Suderwich, Röllinghausen and Berghausen, is forested on 85 hectares; to the north it is enough to Dortmunder Str., to the west to the Ostcharweg; the membranous groves of Loh (east) and Johannistal (south-west) as areas that are difficult to access for agriculture are on the outskirts
  • on the Hinsberg in the sense of the mountain spur north of today's settlement of this name there is a 19 hectare forest between the farm on the northern Ostcharweg in the northeast, today's stadium Lange Wanne in the northwest and the concrete factory in the southeast
  • the municipality of Essels (then: Ehsel ) extends west to the Ostcharweg and north to Dortmunder or Horneburger Str .; the Ehseler Bruch in the northeast, today Groß-Erkenschwick, directly touches the Rapener Bruch and Horneburg area
• 1894 (around 20,000 inhabitants)
  • The Münster – Wanne-Eickel railway with the Recklinghausen station has existed since 1870
  • Villa Franka was built as an establishment for theater and amusement (1875), and the brewery (1877) was built in the immediate vicinity
  • the lower Dortmunder Strasse has been developed, but is still undeveloped; it is still called Horneburger Strasse - as is still the case on Oer-Erkenschwicker Grund today
  • the Lohweg now leads across the Loh and offers an alternative route from Recklinghausen to Suderwich to the north of the Frankenweg; an alternative route to the south is now possible via Castroper Strasse ; The building of today's restaurant Wember was built on the eastern edge of the Loh
  • There is a brickworks on the Lange Wanne, at the level of the sports fields and south of it; another can be found in Hillen or on Quellberg , roughly at today's SG Hillen stadium
• 1907 (around 50,000 inhabitants)

  • With the almost identical neo-Gothic churches of the Liebfrauenkirche (1903) in Hillen and Johanneskirche in Suderwich (1904) as well as the neo-Romanesque Pauluskirche (1907) in the Paulusviertel, the city, if Suderwich is already included, has three other large churches in addition to the Petruskirche
  • the town hall in the city center, inaugurated in 1908, has also already been drawn
  • Another landmark is the water tower built in 1903 (near the border in Hillen); its counterpart in Herten - Scherlebeck was inaugurated in 1908, its twin not until 1935
