Styrum (municipality)
Styrum [ ˈʃtiːʁʊm ] was an old settlement on the lower reaches of the Ruhr and a municipality in the district of Mülheim an der Ruhr . On April 1, 1910, it was divided into the northern part of Unterstyrum as the Styrum district of Oberhausen and the southern part of Oberstyrum as the Styrum district of Mülheim an der Ruhr .
history
The place probably originated around an East Franconian imperial estate on a branch of the Hellweg . Stiarhem was first mentioned in a document around the year 1000. In 1067 King Heinrich IV donated the not yet cultivated land with its courts to the Kaiserswerth monastery . In the year 1200, Count Arnold von Altena, as the owner of Styrum, assigned this to his wife Mechthild von Holland to Styrum , a daughter of Florens' von Holland , as Wittum . Count Dietrich von Limburg , a son of Frederick of Isenberg , expanded in 1289 with his son Eberhard a bower probably a Wittum. Until 1806, the rule of Styrum was a direct imperial rule in the possession of the Counts of Limburg-Stirum . In the course of the Napoleonic conquests , it was combined with the Broich rule to form the Broich-Styrum office, to which Mülheim also belonged.
In 1871 August Thyssen came to Styrum to produce and process pig iron . Styrum became an industrial location. Due to the large influx of people, the Prussian state government declared Styrum the seat of the mayor's office between the cities of Mülheim and Oberhausen in 1878 , which also included the communities of Alstaden and Dümpten . At that time, the new mayor's office had around 21,000 residents. In 1904 Styrum was incorporated into Mülheim, which, among other things, became a large city in 1908. The northern part of Styrum was spun off again in 1910 together with Alstaden and parts of Dümpten and assigned to the city of Oberhausen.
