Styrum [ ˈʃtiːʁʊm ] is a district of the Ruhr area town of Oberhausen , which was created on April 1, 1910 by dividing the old municipality of Styrum in two . The other remaining part of the former community is now the district of the same name in Mülheim . The Oberhausen district is also known as the Unterstyrum , the Mülheim district as the Oberstyrum.

location

Styrum is one of the southern Oberhausen districts and is located in the Alt-Oberhausen district .

In the north, the border road separates Styrum from downtown Oberhausen ; in the east, Mülheimer Strasse is the border with Dümpten . The Bogenstraße, together with the Landwehr, forms the western border to Alstaden . The Mülheim district of Styrum connects to the south.

Historically, Styrum extends further into the east into today's Dümpten. Since the 1980s, however, the area east of Mülheimer Straße is no longer generally regarded as Styrum. Instead, for statistical purposes, as in the district development concept of the city of Oberhausen, parts of Alstadt are often added to the statistical district of Styrum or Oberhausen-Mitte / Styrum .

history

The place probably originated around an East Franconian imperial estate on a branch of the Hellweg, it was first mentioned in documents around 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 from Holland, as Wittum. Count Dietrich von Limburg, a son of Friedrich von Isenberg, expanded a bower with his son Eberhard in 1289, presumably into 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 it the seat of the mayor's office of Styrum between the cities of Mülheim and Oberhausen, which also included the communities of Alstaden and Dümpten. At that time, the new mayor's office had around 21,000 residents. In 1904, the community was Styrum to Mülheim incorporated. As early as 1910, the northern part of Styrum was spun off again and assigned to the city of Oberhausen. The southern part is now the district of Styrum of Mülheim.

At the end of 2014 Oberhausen-Styrum had 6,684 inhabitants.

Place name

The name of the village was mentioned in a document around 1000 as Stiarhem . Stiarhem can be translated as "bull home", this indicates a licensing station .

There is a popular legend about the origin of the place name, which tells that the river Ruhr changed its course several times due to the breakup or growth of the banks or as a result of ice blockages, which is why it once ended suddenly at Styrum. Therefore, according to the legend, Schiffer always have "Door down!" (Turn the steering wheel!) , After which the castle and the village got their name.

Nowadays it is considered a nuisance for many Styrumers if the place name is pronounced incorrectly. People who are not familiar with the area often pronounce the y as ü instead of i ( [ʃtyːrʊm] instead of [ʃtiːrʊm] ).

religion

Protestant church

The Styrum Protestants belong to the Christ parish founded in 1864 in Alt-Oberhausen. The South District of the Christ Parish includes mostly Styrum.

Catholic Church

St. Joseph

The Catholic parish of St. Joseph was founded in 1862, the church initially served as the home of the Alstaden, Dümpten and Styrum Catholics, until the northern part as the parish of Herz Jesu Oberhausen , the western part as the parish of St. Antonius Alstaden and the eastern part as the parish of Zu Unser dear lady were spun off from St. Joseph.

In the course of the restructuring of the parishes in the diocese of Essen in 2007, St. Joseph was merged with the neighboring parishes of St. Antonius, St. Peter and Herz Jesu to form the large parish Herz Jesu Oberhausen-Mitte. This parish today has 16,449 members. Of these, 3,960 Catholics belong to St. Joseph Styrum, but the municipality also extends in the south beyond the city limits of Mülheim as far as Oberstyrum and in the west quite a bit into Alstaden.

To Our Lady

The Church of Our Lady is located in the east of Styrum and includes large parts of Dümpten. It was spun off from St. Joseph in 1922 and made a parish. For this purpose, an inn was expanded into a three-aisled emergency church. It was on May 31, 1922 consecrated . In 1924 a choir , a sacristy and a bell tower were added to the church.

This first church was destroyed by aerial bombs in 1943.

From 1956 to 1957 the parish erected a new building on Mülheimer Strasse based on plans by Gottfried Böhm . This second Church of Our Lady was consecrated on November 9, 1957.

The pastoral care of the community is carried out by the Order of the Sacred Heart Missionaries . In the course of the restructuring of the parishes in the diocese of Essen in 2007, To Our Lady was merged with the parishes of St. Katharina Lirich, St. Marien Oberhausen, St. Michael Oberhausen and St. Johannes Evangelist to form the parish of St. Marien.
