Uelzen (Unna)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uelzen is one of the old Hellweg villages on the northern slope of the hair strand in Westphalia and since 1 January 1968 together with Mulhouse a town of the district town of Unna . Uelzen has almost 1,800 inhabitants.

The place has an advantageous border location in the fertile Hellwegbörden between lowlands and low mountain ranges on the eastern edge of the Ruhr area . Its specialty is the many springs and the associated species-rich nature. At the beginning of 2015, Uelzen had 1770 inhabitants. Uelzen has had its own mayor since August 1st, 2016.

Location and landscape

The district of Uelzen covers 493 hectares and is between 135 and 68 m high, the town center at 80 m. Its location between the lowlands and low mountain ranges makes it particularly diverse and attractive. It extends over three natural units : Unterer Hellweg (north of the village center), Oberer Hellweg and Haarstrang . The area on the slopes of the Haarstrang is the Obere Hellweg, where very fertile loess soils with up to 80 soil points (out of 100 possible) are located. In the south of the district, roughly at the level of the Haarstrang, runs one of the major geographical borders of Central Europe: to the south the hills of the Sauerland as part of the Rhenish Slate Mountains , to the north the Westphalian Bay as part of the north-central European lowlands. From the slope of the Haarstrang you have an impressive view of the northern Ruhr area .

Coal is everywhere under Uelzen. Only a small part of it has been dismantled. The main reasons for this are the small thickness and the steep location of the seams with many faults.

To the south of the B 1 , the Unna industrial park, which was built between 1970 and 1983, covers 113 hectares and is largely located in the Uelzen area. In recent years, the construction of the Unna / Ost industrial park has begun to the east and thus completely to the Uelzen area, which, according to the latest zoning plan , is to be expanded to the south and east.

history

Emergence

The place is mentioned for the first time as Ulfersne in a document of the Fröndenberg Monastery from 1249, in which it was about the payment of the tithe in Uelzen. The name then appears in 15 documents in different forms over the next 100 years: six times as Ulfersne, four times as Ulfershem, twice as Ulfersen, and once each as Ulferscen, Ulfersene and Ulversche. The meaning of the name is not clear. There is some evidence that it is to be interpreted as a settlement (sen = husun = houses) or a house (hem = heim) of a man named Ulf or Wolf. There is likely to be agreement that the name is a few centuries older and that the settlement originated in the 9th century at the latest. But it could also be considerably older. This is supported by the ideal settlement location on the fertile, spring-rich slopes of the "ancient" Hellweg and the many archaeological finds in the area, which indicate early dense settlement. Archaeological excavations from February 2015 in the south of Uelzen, in today's Indu-Park, suggest that there was already around 4,000 BC. A settlement existed.

The spelling of the place name has fluctuated between Ü and Ue until recently; It was not until 1961 that the local council established the spelling with Ue. There is a second Uelzen in Germany, namely the district town of Uelzen in the Lüneburg Heath . There, too, the spelling used to fluctuate between Ü and Ue.

Historic sites

Burial ground

About 1 km west of the Uelzen village center, a burial ground of a total of nine graves with numerous additions from the 6th or 7th century was discovered in 1934 in the Unna area at today's aluminum works. Other graves seem to be resting in the ground. It is not known where the dead came from. Apparently they were Frankish Brukters of Christian faith. This burial ground also supports the assumption that the surrounding places such as Uelzen, Mühlhausen and Unna already existed back then.

Heyde house

In the north of the district was Uelzen's most important site, the Haus Heyde moated castle , which was demolished in 1966 . Since its first mention in 1343, it has been the seat of nine different noble families, including the Sprenge , von Aldenbockum , von Ascheberg (gravestones still in the Unna city church), von Plettenberg and von Bodelschwingh , for the Heyde in the 19th century “the real center of attention of the family ”. Important men and women lived here, such as Christoph Friedrich Steffen von Plettenberg , Lieutenant General in the service of Friedrich the Great , his granddaughter Friederike von Bodelschwingh (1768–1850), mother of two Prussian ministers, namely Ernst (1794–1854) and Carl (1800–1876 ) from Bodelschwingh, who later inherited Heyde. The famous "Father Bodelschwingh" , who owned the v. Bodelschwinghschen Anstalten brought Bethel to its worldwide importance, was closely connected to Heyde and married his cousin Ida there in 1861 , one of the daughters of the house. In 1927 the Bodelschwinghs sold the estate to the city of Kamen , which leased it and had it demolished in 1966. As early as 1986, the core area with the moat that was partially filled in during the demolition was placed under protection as a ground monument . The impressive tree population there (5 trees protected as natural monuments) also includes the thickest tree in the Unna district, a 250 to 300 year old plane tree with a trunk circumference of over 7.12 m (measured at a height of 130 cm). It has now been established that it is also the thickest plane tree in Westphalia and the second thickest in all of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Infirmary

In the west of Uelzen on Hellweg, in the area of ​​today's barrier on the Unna – Hamm railway line, the town of Unna's leprosy or infirmary was first mentioned in 1500 . It served to curb leprosy, which, along with the plague, was the most feared of all infectious diseases in the Middle Ages . One of the altars in the infirmary chapel was consecrated to St. Jacob , a further indication that the Hellweg was once also a pilgrimage route . At the beginning of the 18th century the chapel was still used for preaching. The remains of the structure were used to repair the Hellweg in 1816.

gallows

The tree-lined parcel west of the railway barrier on the Unna – Werl railway line is called "Am Galgen ". The public execution site for the entire Unna office used to be here on Hellweg . The first attested execution took place in 1510, the last in 1805, when the murderer Christian Schulte was whacked. To commemorate the former execution site, the Heimatverein Mühlhausen / Uelzen erected a 2 m high stele as a memorial against the death penalty on May 8, 2014, a little further east at the geographical center of Unna. It was created by the hammer sculptor Harald K. Müller H9.

Old yards

Old farmhouse in Uelzen

In the far west of the district is the Schulze Höing estate as a single courtyard, which is attested as a court of law for the Unna area as early as 1291.

To the south-east of it, near today's aluminum works, lies Höings Hof (today Kayser) alone in the Feldflur, a "treatment item" of the Abbey (Essen-) Werden mentioned as early as the 13th century .

The largest property in the village was owned by two noble ladies 'monasteries, the Fröndenberg monastery with four large courtyards and a number of other estates and the noble ladies' monastery St. Cosmas and Damian in Essen with three large courtyards. Presumably one of the courtyards of the Fröndenberger Stift, namely the Schluckebier / Kortmann estate in the center of the village, was once the “ castle ” of the Knights of Uelzen.

The large timber-framed house on the south side of B 1 is the former farm Voss, who in 1542 resigned as Vosshof first appearance. At that time, the then sovereign Wilhelm , Duke of Kleve and Count von der Mark, sold all his income from the farm due to war debts.

Monuments

Memorial to the victims of the world wars

a) Geographical center of Unna with several elements: The center of Unna within the borders existing since the reorganization of January 1, 1968 was determined in 1999 on the initiative of the senior newspaper “Herbstblatt” on the cycle path south of the Unna – Werl railway line . By chance it is in a very special place, namely on the ancient Hellweg and with a wide view of the landscape. In order to identify the center, the Heimatverein Mühlhausen / Uelzen set up a so-called “three-legged sign ” based on a historical model with information box and orientation board for the 750th anniversary of Uelzen . According to Lecoq's map from 1805, there was also a cross nearby, a little further west of Unna's gallows. To commemorate this cross, a large stainless steel cross and an information board with prayers were set up on June 20, 2009 by the responsible parishes and the local history association. On March 17, 2010, the Heimatverein planted a white elm near the cross in order to give a place to this tree, which was previously widespread in the region, but which largely fell victim to the Dutch elm disease . The Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, which was re-signposted in mid-2010, also runs along the Dortmund – Soest railway line on the route of the historic Hellweg . At the three points at which the pilgrim path bends due to the construction of the railway in 1850, the Heimatverein installed a large natural stone as a sign with the yellow pilgrim shell, created by the Unna-based ceramic artist Gisela Lücke. On May 8, 2014, the Heimatverein erected the stele mentioned above on the gallows in memory of the former execution site of the Unna office located a little further to the west.

b) A memorial for the victims of the First and Second World Wars has been in a rondel on the Schwertlacke since 2005. It was inaugurated in 1965 and until then stood at the Osterfeldschule in Mühlhausen, where it had to make way for an extension for the open all-day primary school .

c) A stone marriage coat of arms from 1661 for Philipp Henrich von Ascheberg and his wife. On the left the coat of arms of the von Ascheberg family on Haus Heyde, on the right that of the von Werminghaus family . The stone was found in 2004 under mysterious circumstances on Haus Heeren and given to the Mühlhausen / Uelzen Heimatverein by the owner Baron Jobst Henrich von Plettenberg . He set the stone and set it up in 2008 on Von-Ascheberg-Weg.

traffic

Uelzen is criss-crossed by a dense regional transport network. The Hellweg, which runs south of the village center, was once one of the most important traffic routes in Europe. It should have existed as a trunk road around the birth of Christ. Charlemagne expanded it from 775/776. Emperors, kings, soldiers and, above all, many merchants with their cars passed here. In the Middle Ages it was part of the widely branched Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. In 1818 the excavated, often boggy route was replaced by an almost parallel “artificial road”, namely a road with solid ground, today's B1. Then the Hellweg sank down to the dirt road. The new traffic connection was later called Provinzialstraße. In 1936 it became part of Reichsstrasse 1, which stretched from Aachen to Königsberg in East Prussia . At the same time, south of the B 1, the relevant section of the Dortmund - Kassel motorway (A 44) was put into operation in 1970 . Incidentally, the road network was largely created at a time when there was still no motorized traffic. It is not particularly suitable for today's heavy goods traffic.

Marking of the Way of St. James between Uelzen and Mühlhausen

On March 24, 2010 the route of the historic Hellweg was opened by the Antiquities Commission for Westphalia , a scientific institution of the Regional Association of Westphalia-Lippe (LWL), as part of the Westphalian Way of St. James from Höxter on the Weser to Dortmund and is marked with the yellow shell on blue The reason is signposted as a pilgrimage sign.

Four railway lines were laid through the Uelzen district. In 1855 the "Dortmund – Soester Railway" went into operation parallel to the Hellweg, later called the "Hellweg Railway". The line has been electrified since 1970. Due to the construction of the railway line, the original route of the Hellweg was swiveled slightly to the south and has since led along the south side of the railway embankment. In 1867 the Hagen - Unna - Hamm railway line was put into operation as the "Bergisch-Märkische-Eisenbahn" in the west of Uelzen . The Dortmund - Königsborn - Welver railway line followed in the north in 1876 . It was closed in 1968 and turned into a hiking trail. In 1899 the last railway line was the Unna – Fröndenberg line.

Church, school

Osterfeld School in Uelzen
Former Uelzen school

Uelzen never had its own church or cemetery. It belonged to 1976 the Protestant parish Unna, then to the eastern Protestant parish Lünern that in 2003 with Hemmerde for "Evangelical Church Hemmerde-Lünern" merged. Since 1979 Uelzen has owned a Protestant parish hall, the Philipp-Nicolai-Haus, together with the neighboring district of Mühlhausen on Osterfeldstrasse. It is named after Philipp Nicolai , who was pastor at the Unna city church from 1596 to 1601 and there his most important work, the “Joy mirror of eternal life” with the well-known songs “How beautifully the morning star shines” and “Wachet up, calls us Voice ”wrote. It was sold at the end of 2015. After the renovation and construction of apartments, part of the building will be available to the community again in the future. The Catholics of Uelzen belong to the Catholic parish of Unna. Today (beginning of 2006) the denominations are divided as follows: Protestants 45%, Catholics 27%, others 28%. In 1885 Uelzen was 77% Protestant and 22% Catholic.

The elementary school jointly built by Mühlhausen and Uelzen in 1964 is also located in Osterfeldstrasse . Today it functions as a primary school (autumn 2015: 140 students, 9 teachers) with a cross-year school entry phase, since 2004 also in the form of the open all-day primary school, for which an extension was built.

Before that, Uelzen had three school buildings, one is still there. It was built in 1860 with a teacher's apartment and is now used as a residential building (Uelzener Dorfstraße 43).

In addition to today's school, the "Vorstadtstrolche" kindergarten, which was completed in 1978 and expanded in 1993 , is now located on Osterfeldstrasse, and has since been further developed into a family center with over 100 children in five groups (beginning of 2015), around 20 of them in the day care center .

societies

Uelzen is closely connected to the neighboring Mühlhausen to the east through a lively club life . The press often speaks of both as the " double village ". The many local clubs and organizations - around 20 - each extend to both villages. Until the beginning of the 20th century, Uelzen only had about half as many inhabitants as Mühlhausen. Then Uelzen grew faster and since the beginning of 2006 has been even larger than Mühlhausen due to a new development area (beginning of 2010: Uelzen 1,821 inhabitants, Mühlhausen 1,431).

Although the Doppeldorf barely exceeded the three-thousand meter mark for the first time in early 2005 (early 2009: 3,301) and the clubs are correspondingly small, some have been exceptionally successful: The Spiel- und Sportverein Mühlhausen-Uelzen (SSV), founded in 1949, has been playing in the Football regional league , from 1981 to 1985 even in the association league and this again since May 2008, now called Westfalenliga . He is also known for his broad and successful work with children and young people ("International Mühlbach tournaments"; C-Juniors became district champions in 2005/6 with 26 wins in 26 games and 222: 10 goals). The gymnastics club Mühlhausen-Ülzen (TV) founded in 1910 today focuses on children and youth sports (over 50% of members); his women's dodgeball team was three times German gymnastics champions. From the Kyffhäuserkameradschaft Mühlhausen-Uelzen, Gerda Altenstein was the individual winner in the national shooting with the air rifle in 1988 and 1991 . The "Sängerbund", founded in 1867, can look back on numerous celebrated concerts, also nationally and internationally, some with the three " German Tenors ". The Association for Heimat- und Natur Mühlhausen / Uelzen, founded in 1985, worked on the past of the double village in numerous publications and made Unna known nationwide through its nature conservation activities . In 1997 the Evangelical Church of Westphalia awarded him the “Conciliar Process Promotion Prize” for his “exemplary work for the preservation of creation”. In 2005 he received the "Herbert Tegenthoff Prize" from the FDP Unna for outstanding civic engagement.

Nature and conservation

The districts of Uelzen and Mühlhausen are almost unique in the country due to the many springs that arise there at the foot of the hairline . Hence its other nickname “spring villages”. After Paderborn , the source area of ​​the Pader , they are likely to be the area with the most springs in North Rhine-Westphalia; there are about 40. Seven brooks cross or limit their fields: Mühlbach, Storksbach (with a north and south arm) Ahlbach, Kortelbach , Höinger Bach , Lünerner Bach and Kessebürener Bach . Mainly because of this abundance of water and the resulting wetlands, the nature reserve "Uelzener Heide - Mühlhauser Mark" was established in 1997 with a size of almost 200 hectares . As early as 1989, the "spring and wetland Mühlhausen" was established as the first nature reserve on Unnaer Boden with 16 hectares. On September 23, 2008, the "Unna" landscape plan, which aims to improve the landscape and nature, was unanimously approved by the district council . In Mühlhausen / Uelzen, a number of measures were implemented in advance.

Land purchase

The Heimatverein Mühlhausen / Uelzen together with the NABU ( Naturschutzbund Deutschland ) Kreis Unna acquired 14 plots of land totaling over 23 hectares in the area of ​​the two villages with the help of many donations and prepared them for nature conservation; in addition, areas were leased. Over 2.5 km of field hedges were planted on this, six larger natural ponds were created and almost 600 m of piped springs were exposed again. The regional association Ruhr , the district of Unna and the city of Unna also bought land for nature. Along with the city of Unna, roadsides were planted. The landscape there, whose natural suitability for recreation was classified as very low by landscape planners in 1973, has changed for the long term and is now one of the most beautiful in Unna. As early as 1992, the two villages received a special prize for their services in nature and landscape protection in the competition “Our village should be more beautiful”.

Tree frogs

The tree frog, which is “ critically endangered” in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), now has its largest population in the Unna district; In 2004 550 calling males were counted. It is one of the large deposits in all of North Rhine-Westphalia. The common toad also has significant populations there, mainly thanks to the more than 20 years of activities of the "Toad Protection Group" of the Unna Adult Education Center: In 1995 7,224 specimens were counted on the disused railway embankment about 2.5 km northeast of Mühlhausen. After that, the numbers went down; but more was found elsewhere.

The rare crested newt is common. In the headwaters of Mühlhausen / Uelzen there is the largest stock of reeds in the Unna district and also the largest occurrence of edible watercress (Nasturtium sterile) in all of Westphalia.

Willow Day

One of the most popular nature conservation activities is the " Willow Day ", which has been held on the 1st Saturday of the year since 1980 and serves to preserve the willow trees. So that they do not break apart, they are " cut " (= trimmed) every four to six years . In addition, over 400 pastures have been planted in Mühlhausen / Uelzen in the last 20 years.

Seven old trees of different kinds are under special protection as natural monuments , most of them in the area of ​​the former manor house Heyde in the north-west of Uelzen. In addition, there are 21 old specimens of the rare real black poplars , of which around 600 were known throughout North Rhine-Westphalia in 2006.

Trivia

A piece of homeland soil from Uelzen has been resting in the Berlin Reichstag building together with soil from other German countries that MPs brought with them from their constituencies since 2000 . There it is part of a work of art in a raised bed-like box with the words “ The population ”.
