The Am Kaiserstuhl settlement was a colliery colony in today's Bornstrasse-Ost industrial park in Dortmund's northern part of the city . It was in 1891/92 from the colliery Westphalia simultaneously with the drilling established the shaft Kaiserstuhl second The access road was named Am Kaiserstuhl. After the operating facilities, which were combined to form the Kaiserstuhl colliery , became the core of the mine ownership of Eisen- und Stahlwerk Hoesch AG in 1899 , the workers 'houses were expanded in 1905 by four civil servants' houses.

After the Kaiserstuhl colliery closed in 1966, the city of Dortmund took over the industrial areas on which the Westphalia shopping center Dortmund (WEZ) and the Tropa Mare leisure pool were built. The settlement, which had lost its function as a factory settlement and had become a residential enclave between the multi- lane Bornstrasse, which had been expanded for light rail operations, the machine factory Germany and the Dortmund – Enschede railway line, as well as the tracks of the Westfalenhütte , was used at the end of 1975 for the expansion of the municipal vehicle fleet demolished and the street Am Kaiserstuhl moved in.

In the first phase of construction, 15 exposed brick buildings for two and four families were erected. The four adjoining buildings are more elaborately designed in their brick ornamentation.
