history

The settlement or field name Röhlinghausen is derived from "clearing", it was consequently created on cleared ground.

Around 1220, Röhlinghausen was subject to the duty as a toboggan chusen or Rodilinchusen to the Oberhöfe Ekelo, today Eickel, and Hurle, today Hordel. During the Great Dortmund Feud , the aristocrat Bitter von Raesfeld had farms and cottages plundered in Röhlinghausen in 1389 .

The treasure book for the county of Mark from 1486 names a Straitman to Rolinchusen in Hordel , transferred: Stratmann zu Röhlinghausen. The Stratmann farm was the largest of its kind in the Röhlinghausen farming community in the 15th century.

The county of Mark was ruled by Brandenburg from 1609 onwards , following the Dortmund Treaty . The noble Conrad von Strünkede received in 1690 from Elector Friedrich III. of Brandenburg the civil criminal jurisdiction over the glory of Dorneburg, which was given to him as a fief, as well as over Bickern, Eickel, Holsterhausen, the Riemker Mark and Röhlinghausen.

When the County of Mark went from Prussia to France in 1808, Röhlinghausen became a municipality in the Mairie Herne in the canton of Bochum in the Dortmund arrondissement of the Ruhr department . In 1845 Röhlinghausen was again a municipality in the Prussian office of Herne, together with the municipalities of Baukau , Bickern , Bladenhorst , Crange , Eickel , Herne, Hiltrop , Holsterhausen , Horsthausen and Pöppinghausen .

In 1856 the first shafts of the Königsgrube colliery were sunk. Mining was decisive for the further development of Röhlinghausen. Housing for the skilled workers of the mining industry was created in the form of the workers' settlements Kolonie Königsgrube, from 1875, and a colony of the colliery Hanover , from 1874. Both settlements were placed under monument protection in the 1990s. With the rapid population growth in the course of industrialization, the municipality of Röhlinghausen was united with the municipalities of Bickern, Crange, Eickel and Holsterhausen on August 1, 1875 to form the Wanne office, which was dissolved from the Herne office. The office created in this way was initially part of the Bochum district, ten years later it became part of the newly formed Gelsenkirchen district. The communities Eickel and Holsterhausen temporarily formed the Eickel office, Röhlinghausen remained in the Wanne office. When both offices were combined in 1926 to form the independent city of Wanne-Eickel, Röhlinghausen was the most south-western part of the new structure. Röhlinghausen has been part of the city of Herne since 1975.

Between 1886 and 1960 there was a stop called Wanne-Röhlinghausen on the Riemke - Wanne railway line , and from 1926 Bochum-Riemke - Wanne-Eickel (old salt railway) .

Public facilities

In the district, the Volkshaus Röhlinghausen as a public meeting and event venue has a history that goes back to 1923.
