history

The area of ​​the Wanne office initially belonged to the Bochum district from 1817 until August 1, 1885 as a result of the district division within the Arnsberg administrative district and as part of the Herne office at that time . In 1868 the Gelsenkirchen office was established within the district and on October 1, 1876, Bochum left the Bochum-Land district as an urban district . Finally, when the district of Gelsenkirchen was established at the same time , the Wanne office was formed on July 1, 1885 and assigned to it. In 1891, Eickel resigned from the Wanne office, so that this only consisted of the communities of Bickern , Crange and Röhlinghausen. In 1897 the municipality of Bickern was renamed Wanne and in 1906 Crange was incorporated there. During this time, when strong industrialization was accompanied by a similar increase in population, the Wanne office had the new three-storey office building built for its administration under the leadership of Friedrich Winter (1853–1913). After the merger with Eickel to form the then independent city of Wanne-Eickel (April 1, 1926), the building remained the official and administrative headquarters .

After the merger of the former communities of Eickel and Wanne, it became apparent after the first meeting on June 1, 1926 that the meeting room was too small. The second meeting on June 11, 1926 took place in the administration building of the Eickeler community council at Richard-Wagner-Straße 10. In the public invitation to the "meeting room of the town hall 2" was invited. In 1928 Amtshaus 2 became an administrative branch. The Wanne-Eickel council meetings continued there until the merger with Herne. Today the land surveying and land registry office is located there.

There was an increasing shortage of space, so that a new building was considered, which was not realized as a result of the economic crisis at the end of the 1920s and the beginning of the 1930s. During the Second World War , the office building suffered severe damage, but this was removed after the war. In 1950, City Planning Officer Karl Neuhaus submitted an expansion draft, which was just as little implemented as the planning ideas of City Planning Officer Heinrich Koch, which he summarized in 1954 in the "Memorandum on the question of town hall extension or new building". The current town hall of Wanne-Eickel remained the seat of municipal offices even after the municipal reform that came into force on January 1, 1975 and the abolition of the towns of Wanne-Eickel and Herne through the formation of the new town of Herne .

From 2005 to 2013, the Wanne-Eickel town hall was redeveloped as the administrative center. Among other things, the changed fire protection regulations were taken into account, but dry rot damage was also eliminated . The cost of the measure was approximately three million euros.

An octagonal town hall tower designed as a roof turret was placed on the ridge of the central projection.
