history
Incorporation
On August 1, 1929, the Angermund office was dissolved and the new Ratingen Land office was established, to which Hösel then also belonged. In 1950 this was renamed to Amt Angerland . In the course of the local reorganization, Hösel was incorporated into the city of Ratingen on January 1st, 1975.
Population development
The population of Hösel only increased significantly after the Second World War , when more and more people from Düsseldorf and Essen discovered Hösel as a quiet, yet conveniently located place to live. After a decline in the number of inhabitants at the end of the 20th century , the number of inhabitants is now growing again due to the designation of new building areas.

Boys' Choir Hösel
The boys' choir Hösel is a school choir in which boys in grades 2 to 13 sing. It was created in the summer of 2007 from the Hösel youth choir. In exceptional cases, younger students are also accepted if they have a particular talent. The main task of the boys' choir is to create church music in the Adolf-Clarenbach-Church. The choirboys sing music from all ages. The artistic focus is the regular performance of the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the church year as well as the maintenance of the literature for choir and organ. The cantor is Toralf Hildebrandt.
The Hösel boys' choir regularly organizes concert tours, both in Germany and in other countries in Europe and North America. Appearances took place e.g. B. already in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig , in the Reichstag in Berlin, in the St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York, in the Petersdom in Rome, in Notre-Dame de Paris , in Austria, Poland, in Switzerland, in Spain, in the Czech Republic and Hungary, as well as in Chicago and Washington.
Culture area Hösel
When Hösel became a Ratinger district at the beginning of 1975 as part of the local reorganization, the local adult education center lost its local educational mandate.
On February 18, 1975, 154 committed citizens founded the Kulturkreis Hösel eV They laid the foundation for a continuously growing initiative at a high level. In the first decade of existence, the number of events was a maximum of 15 per year, today there are up to 50 offers per year.
Since it was founded, the culture group has brought together people who are culturally interested, curious and open to contact with like-minded people. Experiencing them together turns many events into a highlight of cultural enrichment, but also a beneficial human closeness. The increase in free time increases the need for meaningful and enriching experiences.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
The B 227 leads from the Breitscheid motorway junction through Hösel to Heiligenhaus and on to Velbert. The construction of the A 44 between the Ratingen-Ost and Heiligenhaus motorway junction is expected to significantly reduce traffic on the B 227.
Of the Hösel station is on the Ruhr Valley Railway , on which only the S6 Cologne - Düsseldorf - Ratingen Ost - Essen line runs. Three bus lines go from there to Düsseldorf-Kaiserswerth (line 751 via Lintorf and Angermund ), Velbert (line 770 via Heiligenhaus ) and Ratingen (line 773 via Eggerscheidt). The taxi bus line O14 goes to Breitscheid. At the weekend the disco bus line DL1 runs to Ratingen Ost.
In a construction period of about eighteen months, the level crossing of the B 227 over the S-Bahn line was replaced by a bridge. In December 2011 the bridge was opened to the public.
From 1899 to 1923 a small train ran between Hösel and Heiligenhaus .
The Hösel service station is located on the A3 motorway in the north, just before the Breitscheid motorway intersection.
Industry
Hösel now has almost no industry, but there are still many medium-sized companies to be found. Until the 1980s, the Wagener mirror factory was located where the Hösel Center now stands. The halls of a wallpaper factory are still located at Hösel train station.

Hösel has a school, the Wilhelm Busch Primary School. It is the largest primary school in Ratingen in terms of number of pupils. The school has been an open all-day school since the 2007/2008 school year. For the 2008/2009 school year, an extension was completed along Bahnhofstrasse.
