Schwieringhausen is a district in the north of Dortmund and belongs to the Mengede district .

The district, which is also called Swirinckhuß or Schwinghausen in older maps, probably got its name from Heinrich von Schwederinghausen, who was mentioned in a document in 1398. Since the 16th century the place belonged to the former county of Dortmund . Schwieringhausen borders in the west on the Emscher river and in the east on the Bundesautobahn 2 .

The district gained temporary importance through the brittle brickworks founded in 1903 and now disused and brittle, which was at times the largest in North Rhine-Westphalia, as well as the coal port of the Minister Achenbach mine in Brambauer, which was closed in 1992 . There is still a small polystyrene production facility on the brick premises , which is run by the fourth generation of the founding family.

On October 27, 1917 Schwieringhausen was incorporated into Mengede and finally incorporated into the city of Dortmund on April 1, 1928 together with Mengede.

Parts of the place were given to the city of Lünen in exchange on July 1, 1950 . This is the area to the west of Schulenkampstraße, Sister-Elisabeth-Weg, Pfarrer-Kock-Weg and the branch of Ferdinandstraße leading to Waltroper Kanonenstraße in the Brambauer district of Lüner (together about 82.28 hectares).

Some parts of the village to the west of the Dortmund-Ems Canal are designated as a nature reserve. Heck cattle were released there in 2003, contributing to the natural maintenance of the landscape.
