geography

The Schölerberg district is located in the south of the city of Osnabrück. In a clockwise direction (starting from 12 noon) Schölerberg borders the city center , Fledder , Voxtrup , Nahne and Kalkhügel districts . The hill that gives it its name is the 126 m high Schölerberg limestone ridge , which is part of the Osnabrück hill country .

A notable watercourse in the district is the Riedenbach , which flows in a northerly direction and is almost continuously canal except for a short section between the Schölerberg forest park and Vila-Real-Platz. After about 1.6 km underground it flows into the Hase at the Neue Mühle in the city center . There is also the Huxmühlenbach in the east of the district.

traffic

The Iburger Straße as the one and exit road in Osnabrück is part of the federal highway 68 . The city bus routes M5 in the direction of Kreishaus / Zoo and 12 in the direction of Paradiesweg / Harderberg Franziskus-Hospital (partly replaced by regional bus routes 463-468) run on it. Line 17 bends from Iburger Straße to Ameldstraße in the direction of Voxtrup and the M1 line, which has been electrified since 2019, runs on Meller Straße in the direction of Düstrup.

To better connect the south of Osnabrück to rail traffic, a train stop is to be built on the Osnabrück – Münster railway line between Iburger Strasse and Sutthauser Strasse, where the Haller Willem will stop.

history

The wooded Schölerberg has been a popular local recreation area since the beginning of the 20th century . Even today, many relics such as walls, stairs and observation bastions point to the original use of the Schölerberg as a forest park . At the beginning of the 1950s, the excursion restaurants and a summer toboggan run were attractive excursion destinations.

Former administrative building of the Hammersen textile factory

The FH Hammersen textile factory was active in an area in the north of the district until 1981 . The factory buildings then gave way to row houses, while the administration building on Iburger Strasse is now through the Nds. Landessozialamt is used.

The Schölerberg got a connection to the Osnabrück tram early on ; Line 2 ran from the "Schölerberg" terminus on Iburger Strasse via Lutherkirche, Johannistor (Rosenplatz), Neumarkt, Nikolaiort and Hasetor to Haste .

In 1990 a new protective pavilion was built, in which the spring can still be viewed today.
