Huckarde is a district and at the same time a district in the west of Dortmund .

The first settlements in Huckarde, near today's Oberfeldstrasse, could be proven up to the time around the birth of Christ. In a document from Essen Abbey it is mentioned that around 860 Hukretha passed into the possession of Altfrid , Bishop of Hildesheim and founder of the Abbey. During the construction of a well in 1810, hard coal was found for the first time in what was until then a purely agricultural district . When the Hansa colliery, which was closed in 1980, was founded in 1855, the industrial age also began in Huckarde. In 1914, Huckarde was incorporated into the city of Dortmund .

The district has been connected to the Emschertal Railway since 1892 . In 1908 Huckarde received a representative passenger station .

Today (2018) with 36,508 inhabitants on 1500 hectares, Huckarde is one of the smallest urban districts in Dortmund. Despite the sometimes high population density of 23.9 inhabitants / ha, Huckarde today offers sufficient areas for local recreation with the Rahmer Forest, the Revierpark Wischlingen leisure center and the Deusenberg in the neighboring district of Deusen . The disused Hansa coking plant could also be of interest to visitors . It is open today to visitors interested in past industrial history. The routes that can be explored under a guide are particularly interesting, as most of them have been completely preserved. Only the gasometer in the coking plant was blown up on December 17, 2005.

The district of Huckarde today includes the districts of Huckarde, Deusen , Rahm , Jungferntal , Kirchlinde , Hangeney and Wischlingen .
