Ruhrlandheim
The Ruhrlandheim is a facility consisting of two structures on the steep slope above the Kemnader reservoir at 94 Blumenau street in Bochum-Querenburg .
The house was built by the Evangelical Labor Service under the direction of Gerhard Niedermeier (1902–1974), pastor of the Petri parish, and pastor Rudolf Hardt. The inauguration ceremony in 1932 was broadcast on the radio. On December 19, 1933, Baldur von Schirach and Reich Bishop Müller agreed to transfer the Evangelical Youth to the Hitler Youth . The Voluntary Evangelical Labor Service was dissolved in favor of the Reich Labor Service . The house became an evangelical church conference, training and recreation center. In 1940, Niedermeier worked on converting the house into a retirement home.
In the list of forced labor camps in Bochum from July 14, 1943 , it appears as the camp of the Klosterbusch colliery .
Since 1994 the house has been a dormitory for people with disabilities, sponsored by Diakonie Ruhr .
