Somborn is a district in the Lütgendortmund district in the west of the city of Dortmund . Its specialty in the region lies in its division into two parts, because the western part of Somborn belongs to the Langendreer district of Bochum . The Dortmund district of Somborn is still rural today and is not home to any industrial settlements.

history

Somborn was first mentioned in a document in 1217 in the presence of Cologne Archbishop Engelbert I : Before Engelbert, electus et confirmatus, the noble Jonathas de Ardeia presented Count Hermann v. Ravensberg took the farm in Somborn near Dortmund as a fief instead of the farm in Alstede. (Knipping, Die Regesten der EB von Köln im Mittelalter; Wilmann, Westf. UB III 59 No. 115). In 1384 there was another mention of Somborn: Pastor Ernst von Westhausen certified that he had bought a farm in Somborn. During the Thirty Years War, the farms in Somborn were set on fire several times. In the age of industrialization, collieries settled in the surrounding villages such as Düren , the neighboring Lütgendortmund grew into a small town, Somborn, however, remained dominated by agriculture, only parts of the Siebenplaneten colliery were located in the municipality of Somborn .

In 1891 the sports club Westfalia Somborn was founded here, which in 1936 rose to the top division of field handball .

Dichotomy

From 1850, Somborn formed the Langendreer office together with the villages of Stockum , Düren, Werne and the municipality of Langendreer . This was dissolved in the course of the municipal reform that came into force on August 1, 1929. Düren and Stockum then came to Witten , Langendreer and Werne to Bochum, while Somborn was divided between the cities of Dortmund and Bochum. Dortmund received 129  hectares of the dissolved municipality. 78 hectares came to Bochum. The reason for this dichotomy is not clear from the surviving files.
