About this picture
The old market in Unna

Unna is a large city and county seat of the Unna district in the eastern Ruhr area in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia . It is (after Lünen ) the second largest city in the Unna district in terms of number of inhabitants.

geography

Geographical location

Unna is about 15 km east of Dortmund on the eastern edge of the Ruhr area , on the Westphalian Hellweg and thus in the Hellwegbörde , which extends between the rivers Ruhr and Lippe . The urban area includes altitudes of 65 m (Afferder Bach) up to 225 m (Hemmerder Schelk) above sea level.

City structure

The outskirts of Unna, in the transition area between the Ruhr area and Hellweg-Börde, is also clearly evident in the urban structure.

The city center is surrounded by mixed residential areas. One- to two-family houses and smaller multi-family houses predominate in many places. In the transition to the northern district of Königsborn as well as in the area of ​​Morgenstrasse in the east and especially in the vicinity of the green area Bornekamp in the south there are many larger single-family houses and villas. Larger multi-family housing estates are mainly located in the outer southwest.

The western district of Massen and, in particular, the northern district of Königsborn have typical features of the Ruhr area. With the Buderus colony, there is a larger mining settlement in the north of Massen. In Niedermassen and Obermassen , the settlement structure of the eastern districts of Dortmund continues with many one- to two-family houses and smaller multi-family houses. The southernmost part of Massen, the Massener Heide , is one of the upscale residential areas in Unna with its spacious single-family houses. Königsborn in particular has a large number of colliery settlements and, with its mixed housing development in the central area, a larger high-rise estate and many larger single-family houses in the south, has a very heterogeneous settlement structure.

The north-western Afferde and the northern Alte Heide , however, are rural.

The eastern Hellweg villages of Uelzen , Mühlhausen , Lünern , Stockum , Westhemmerde and Hemmerde are lined up east of the city center at sometimes larger distances to the city limits of Werl and are rural in character. Single-family houses and farms predominate.

The southern districts of Billmerich and Kessebüren as well as the southeastern Siddinghausen also have a very rural character and similar settlement structures as the eastern districts of Unna.

history

Historical overview

Prehistory and Antiquity

The first settlements in today's urban area have existed since the Neolithic . In Roman times there was a Germanic settlement nearby. It is uncertain whether this served as a station on Hellweg earlier, as was only certain from the early Middle Ages .

middle Ages

Tower of the medieval town church

Unna was first mentioned on August 6, 1032 in a document from the Archbishop of Cologne, Pilgrim , who transferred the church in Unna with other possessions to the Abbot Radolfus von Deutz. The secular lords were initially also dependent on the Archbishop of Cologne. At the beginning of the 13th century, Count Friedrich von Altena-Isenberg was enfeoffed with Unna by the Archbishop of Cologne, among other goods. After 1225 his uncle, the Archbishop Engelbert of Berg was killed, he was executed and his property fell to his cousin, Count Adolf of Altena , who after his new residence, Burg Mark on the lip future Graf von der Mark called and the fortification of the place goes back. In 1264 archbishop troops stormed Unna and burned it down, after which the place was rebuilt. After the Battle of Worringen in 1288, with which the Counts of the Mark freed themselves from the dominance of Cologne, Unna received town rights , market rights and the right to exercise lower jurisdiction from the Count of the Mark . The oldest city seal and the earliest mention of a council date from 1290. The city was partially burned down several times in the ongoing disputes with the archbishops of Cologne (for example in 1303 and 1308), but during the subsequent rebuilding it was enlarged and strengthened so that it 1324 was able to repel another attack by the archbishop's troops. In the late Middle Ages, the city was ravaged by several fires and armed events, including from 1419 in the Brandenburg Civil War (1417–1461).

Despite many wars, the city experienced a considerable boom in the 14th century, which is said to go back to the merchants of Unna, who also operated lively long-distance trade. From 1347 onwards, the Brandenburg counts had coins minted in Unna. The “Goldschatz von Unna”, buried around 1375, which was found during excavation work in 1952 and which consists of over 70 gold coins from Germany, England, France, Bohemia and Hungary, testifies to the prosperity of the city and its inhabitants. Since 1389, brine has been extracted in the area of ​​today's Königsborn and table salt extracted from it. In the 15th century, craftsmen and merchants began to merge into guilds . From 1469 to 1518 and again from 1540 the city of Unna was a member of the Hanseatic League . In 1549 Unna became a principal town of the Hanseatic League together with Hamm.

Modern times

Towards the end of the 16th century, the economic boom came to an end due to the decline of the Hanseatic League, religious schism and numerous wars and epidemics. In 1597 Unna lost more than half of its inhabitants as a result of the plague . In 1598 and 1604 Spanish horsemen were quartered in Unna in the course of the Spanish-Dutch War . With the death of Duke Johann Wilhelm von Kleve in 1609, the old line of the Counts of the Mark died out, and the County of Mark with the city of Unna fell to Margrave Ernst of Brandenburg and Count Palatine Wolfgang Wilhelm , whose alliance, however, broke up in 1614 due to religious differences. Unna and other Kleve-Mark towns were captured by Dutch troops in 1614, but they withdrew when the plague broke out again in 1615. During the Thirty Years' War the city suffered from sieges, billeting and contributions , for example by the Dutch (1622 and 1641), Spaniards and Italians (1622/23), imperial troops (1628), " Pappenheimer " (1628), Sweden (1633) / 34), Hesse (1634), Lüneburgers (1635) and Imperial (1636/41). The many contributions and billeting in particular were "overly difficult". In addition, on April 4, 1640, “an unusual earthquake ruined many houses in the city.” Before the Thirty Years' War, Unna had to record 4,000 Reichstaler income from farms, lands and pension income owed 30,000 thalers in debt. The economic heyday of the 14th to 16th centuries was long gone.

In 1666 Unna fell to Brandenburg-Prussia , which later became part of the Kingdom of Prussia . In Unna there was a regiment on foot until 1756 , which received its replacement from the county of Mark. During the Dutch-French War (1672–1679), the French Marshal Turenne bombarded the city on February 4, 1673, which destroyed 220 houses (about 54% of the total). In 1678 and 1723 there were further city fires. In the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) Unna had to endure further fighting, billeting and passage through; but - compared with the two previous wars - it suffered less from the arbitrariness of foreign soldiers and contributions. Scheduled destruction was an exception. The effects of the Seven Years' War on Unna were not as dramatic as the Franco-Dutch War (see above). The city's brickworks were destroyed and the aqueduct "largely ruined". By 1761, inflation tripled compared to the pre-war level and then fell to only 145% per year at the end of the war in 1763. The population stagnated throughout the 18th century: 1919 residents (1719) and 2037 residents (1796). Trade stagnated and attempts to set up factories failed “because of the total lack of water”. The immigration from France that began after the revolution of 1789 also affected Unna and set new impulses in the economy and way of life.

In the 18th century an insignificant agricultural town, Unna only gained importance again through industrialization and the rise to the status of an official town. In 1734 the Prussian state founded the " Königsborn salt works ", which later became the most important salt works in Westphalia . In 1799 the first steam engine in the western provinces of Prussia for brine extraction was put into operation in Unna . With the expansion of the road from Unna to Kamen in 1752, the making the Upper Ruhr navigable between 1780 and 1801, the expansion of the Hellweg in 1817 and the connection to the Bergisch-Märkische railway network in 1855, the city was connected to the new centers in the Ruhr area .

After the provisional end of the affiliation of the County of Mark to the Kingdom of Prussia as a result of the Napoleonic Wars , Unna was added to the newly created Grand Duchy of Berg on January 21, 1808 with the County of Mark and became the seat of the municipality of Unna, which with other municipalities the canton of Unna in the arrondissement of Dortmund educated. In 1809 the "Katharinenkloster" in Unna was abolished in the course of secularization . After Napoleon's defeat, the Prussians moved in again in November 1813, initially leaving the French administrative structure in place and re-establishing the Hamm district in 1817 by merging the mayorships of Hamm, Pelkum, Rhynern, Kamen, Unna and Fröndenberg. By adopting the revised city order of 1831 in 1837, Unna left the rural mayorship. The Office Unna united in 1844 with the Office Kamen for office Unna Kamen .

The industrialization began in 1870 with the start of coal production in masses Billmerich, Ringebrauck and Königsborn one. Mining suppliers as well as factories for mechanical engineering and metal processing, brickworks and breweries also settled here. In 1860 the municipal gas works was founded; in the years 1887/1888 the Ruhr waterworks was built.

After the First World War, the Red Ruhr Army occupied Unna for a short time in the spring of 1920 . In 1927 it was decided to relocate the district administration of the Hamm district to Unna and it was completed in September 1930 after the inauguration of the new district building. On October 17th, the Hamm district was finally renamed the Unna district .

At the time of National Socialism, a general SS leadership school was built in Unna in 1934, which was expanded into a general barracks a little later. The Army Equipment Office for the armored troops was established on Kamener Strasse in 1937 . The Jewish community, which still consisted of 156 people in 1933, was forced to emigrate or wiped out by 1943. 142 Jews from Unna fell - directly or indirectly - to the Nazi tyranny. B. in Theresienstadt, Belzec and Auschwitz. During the Second World War, the men drafted for military service a. a. replaced by forced laborers from France, Poland, Southeast Europe and the Soviet Union. The so-called "Eastern workers" from the Soviet Union were at the lowest level. In 1944 their number was 1790, i.e. H. Every twelfth inhabitant of the city was a slave laborer at that time, half of them in agriculture, the rest in mining, in industry, with the Reichsbahn, in the construction of air raids and in private households. They were accommodated partly in the courtyards, partly in guarded barracks, which were built mainly for "Eastern workers" and Poles. The forced labor situation was generally characterized by long working hours, low wages, poor food and bad treatment. In 1943, the city's administrative report recorded 416 “fugitive foreigners who had broken out of contact” who were arrested and handed over to the Gestapo; that was more than a third of the 1133 forced laborers at the time. In the last two years of the war there were several air raids on Unna, most of which were aimed at the militarily important Heereszeugamt, but also caused great destruction in the city. The first major attack took place on September 19, 1944, further major attacks followed on February 16 and 28 and on March 5 and 23, 1945. The last one was on the Reichsbahn facilities and the brass works, lasted only 15 minutes and killed 113 people. In the last 101 days of the war (January 1 to April 11, 1945) the city was attacked 17 times, killing 174 people and destroying or damaging more than 1200 houses. As the front approached, Unna became a hospital town, which should have been handed over to the enemy without a fight. After the wounded had been transferred to Hemer at the last minute, a battle of several days broke out around the town, which was only ended on April 11, 1945 when troops from the 95th US Infantry Division came from the east. The Allies had bypassed the Ruhr area to the south and north, formed the "Ruhr Basin" and attacked it from the east. Nevertheless, Unna was still relatively lucky in the final phase of the war.

In the post-war period, Unna took in around 2,260 refugees and displaced persons until January 1, 1950. After the dissolution of the state of Prussia by law of the Allied Control Council in 1947, Unna became part of the new federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia . The former SS barracks were used by Belgian troops until April 1956; then the Federal Border Police Department Eschwege moved in there . In 1956 Unna had more than 30,000 inhabitants for the first time.

With the closure of the mine during the structural crisis in the Ruhr area in the 1960s, the development marked by mining ended. Since then, the city has transformed into a service center.

On January 1, 1968, by the district Unna law on the restructuring the existing communities Afferde, Billmerich, Hemmerde, Kesse Buren, Lünern, masses (formed on 1 April 1911 as merger of the former municipalities of low mass and high mass), Mulhouse, Siddinghausen, Stockum, Uelzen and Westhemmerde merged with the city of Unna. The previous Unna-Kamen office was dissolved.

Population development

Population development in Unna. Above from 1595 to 2017. Below an excerpt from 1871. The leap in 1968 marks the communal territorial reform in which numerous neighboring villages were incorporated

Until the beginning of the 19th century, Unna was a city with only a few thousand inhabitants. The population had grown only slowly over the centuries and continued to decline as a result of numerous wars, epidemics and famine. In 1597, when the plague broke out, 1,400 died. The population also fell during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648). Only with the beginning of industrialization did population growth accelerate. In 1818 only 2,400 people lived in the city, by 1900 there were already 15,000. By 1956, that number had doubled to 30,000.

The incorporations of January 1, 1968 brought an increase of 18,000 people to 50,000 inhabitants. In 2000 the population reached its historical high of 71,375. On December 31, 2010, the official population for Unna was 66,502 according to updates by the State Office for Data Processing and Statistics North Rhine-Westphalia (only main residences after comparison with the other state offices). The population of 59,145 determined in the “ 2011 Census ”, based on the end of 2011, differs significantly from the above-mentioned official figure of 66,502 with a difference of over 7,000 inhabitants or 11 percent. The city of Unna has doubts about the results of the census and, together with several other cities in North Rhine-Westphalia, has sued the results of the census based on the 2011 census. However, if other comparable parameters are used, this identified significant population decline cannot be explained, unless there are unna masses entering and leaving the reception center and the fact that Unna was and remains the location of the armed forces (fluctuation / different places of residence of soldiers), have influenced the numbers positively or negatively. In the last instance, the Federal Constitutional Court confirmed the methodology of the 2011 census and thus dismissed the action brought by the city of Unna.

With the population of 58,856 given for 2013, Unna already has 5,556 fewer inhabitants than the figure of 64,412 forecast by IT.NRW for 2025.

In its 2009 study, the Bertelsmann Foundation predicts a population decline in Unna from currently approx. 67,000 inhabitants to approx. 44,000 inhabitants in 2030. That corresponds to a real decrease of 23,000 inhabitants (or 1,000 annually) or 34%. This dramatic decline is only predicted for Unna; in other cities in the Ruhr area, the percentage decline in the comparison period is only five to ten percent on average.

More recent forecasts continue to show serious differences for Unna. According to IT.NRW, based on the 2011 census, there will be 63,513 inhabitants in 2030, while the Bertelsmann Foundation, in its forecast from July 2015, expects 54,250 inhabitants for 2030 - a difference of almost 10,000 inhabitants. It can be assumed that the decline in the number of inhabitants predicted in the Bertelsmann study from 2009 to only approx. 44,000 will not arrive this way.

The following overview shows the number of inhabitants according to the respective territorial status. Until 1819 it is mostly an estimate, then census results (¹) or official updates from the State Statistical Office. From 1871, the information relates to the “local population”, from 1925 to the resident population and since 1987 to the “population at the place of the main residence”. Before 1871, the number of inhabitants was determined according to inconsistent survey procedures.

Churches

Evangelical town church

The Evangelical City Church is a late Gothic hall church that was built from 1322. The foundation stone of the choir dates from 1389. It is said to have been completed in 1396. The tower was built in the 15th century. After being destroyed by lightning, the tower was rebuilt in 1863 according to plans by the Cologne cathedral builder Ernst Friedrich Zwirner . The church was the place of activity of the songwriter Philipp Nicolai from 1596 to 1601 . At the city church there was once still a Marienkapelle, built in 1501, but it was demolished at the beginning of the 19th century. In addition to the Lutheran town church, there was also the Reformed Hospital Church in Unna, which, however, was sold after the unification of the Lutheran and Reformed parishes of Unna around 1820 and was later demolished.

History and architecture

After the city of Unna had become Protestant in the second half of the 16th century, a Catholic community was only able to form again towards the end of the 17th century. In a settlement between the Elector of Brandenburg and the Count Palatine of Neuburg in 1672, she was awarded the monastery chapel on today's Klosterstrasse. It was built around 1468 and named after Catherine of Alexandria . It served as a Catholic parish church from 1683 to 1848; thereafter the building was the Unna synagogue until the pogrom night on November 9, 1938; today there is a printing shop there. The second Katharinenkirche was built in 1848 southwest of today's church on what will later be Bahnhofstrasse. However, it became too small around 1900 due to the rapid growth of the community. The plans for a new building dragged on until 1933.

The church building on the northern edge of the city center was built from 1933 to 1934 according to plans by the architects Flerus and Konert from Dortmund as a double - tower wall pillar construction in the neo-Romanesque style. The sober walls made of reinforced concrete are clad with a facade made of greenish Anröchter dolomite. The foundation stone was laid on November 26, 1933; the consecration took place on October 7, 1934 by the Paderborn Archbishop Caspar Klein . The two large sculptures above the west portal are works by the sculptor Josef Baron ; they show Saints Boniface and Peter Canisius . A relief high on the southern tower by the same artist shows the "Unna donkey".

Redevelopment

In 2002, extensive renovation was necessary, during which the interior design was also redesigned. The clear character of the architecture should be preserved, the atmosphere of the interior improved. Under the direction of Thomas Kesseler, a concept was developed that brought the items of equipment into a new context and added them to them. The alabaster figure of St. Catherine, which had previously stood for a long time in the Diocesan Museum in Paderborn, was given a new place in a specially built red chapel. The previous separation of the altar and the parish hall should be dissolved; the sanctuary found its place in the first two axes of the nave, raised by four steps. The cantilevered steps consist of Anröchter stone slabs that are 1.00 × 1.00 meters in size. They correspond to the dimensions of the room, the dimensions of the aisle and the pillars of the church. The idea of ​​a path church was taken up so that the tabernacle, altar, baptismal font and main portal form a central axis. This is underlined by a two meter wide strip of green dolomite. Two nine meter high and three meter wide glass pictures painted in black and red are hung on flat steel in the area of ​​the former altar level. They show elements of the early Christian apse mosaics; In the background, Arkanthus ornaments are superimposed by free paintings that are supposed to create a cosmic vision of light. A cross hangs freely in front of these paintings. As a further reference to early Christian room design, 2.5 meter high, white wall blocks were built to serve as choir screens. In the upper choir screen there are two glass pictures showing Mary and John the Baptist praying. Together with the depiction of the crucifixion, they form a so-called Deesis group ; this type of image already pointed to the Last Judgment in Byzantine art. The interior is restrained in light mineral colors; the wooden ceiling shows various intense blue-gray tones. The side chapels and the weekday chapel are kept in shades of blue, red and yellow according to the color palette of Le Corbusier . The former doors of the porch were not reused; they have been replaced by a glass wall under the organ gallery, which forms a vestibule. The glass wall enables the church to be opened and the interior to be seen at the same time, without granting access. In the adoration chapel, the wall panels are colored in yellow. On the central glass portal is the inscription “Step into this room. Let yourself be touched by the true light to which Christ is the gate ” read.

Christ Church Königsborn

The Protestant Christ Church in the Königsborn district is a hall church built in 1904/1905 in neo-Romanesque forms, influenced by Art Nouveau .

Well in Unna

Donkey fountain

The donkey, a symbolic figure from Unna

The donkey fountain was built in 1978 to replace the old market fountain based on a design by Josef Baron . The donkey is not a landmark in the strict sense of the word, but has established itself as a symbolic figure for Unna. The origin is likely to be in so-called place names that were widespread in Westphalia in the 19th century, such as (Low German) "Kömsche Bleier" for the neighboring Kamener , here just "Iasel Unna". In 1924, this tradition resulted in the first official donkey depiction on the town hall on the market, and in 1934 a relief on the tower of the newly built Katharinenkirche, which is supposed to symbolize the dispute between the Catholic parish and the National Socialist administration over the building site. Unna maintains this tradition with a sculpture in the city park in 1954 (also Josef Baron), the city fountain and, most recently, an animal parade in 2009 .

The "water stagnation"

When Aluminumwerk Unna AG celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1989, the company donated the water sculpture designed by Hans-Oiseau Kalkmann to the city , which the sculptor created with the trainees in a four-month contact art campaign at the factory. The sculpture is a reference to the Kortelbach piped at this point . It is on the inner city ring, where the water gate used to be. The name of the waterway also reminds of this.

Regular events

Italian Festival 2007

Every year from 1956 to 2011 , the world's smallest carnival parade took place in Unna on Weiberfastnacht, led by Helmut Scherer . It consisted of just a single hand-drawn wagon .

Regular events derive on the one hand from tradition and customs, on the other hand from innovative and up-to-date program planning of different organizers in municipal and other sponsorship.

After a comprehensive inventory and in accordance with an overall concept for the areas of education, culture and leisure in the city of Unna, the basis was created for the promotion of the diverse social-cultural activities and initiatives in as many places in the city as possible by means of effective bundling and networking to create a cultural "information center for all ”, to a“ forum for contemporary arts ”. There is a remarkable variety of cultural events: Regular exhibition openings of the Kunstverein Unna, in urban Hellweg Museum , as well as set up by the city of Unna and after Unnaer artist Carl Ernst Kuerten , one of the most famous sculptors of the region of the Ruhr area, named Carl Ernst Kürten Foundation in Unna-Alte Heide , the concerts of the Philipp-Nicolai-Kantorei , the music association of the city of Unna and the various choirs of the lively group of singers, the youth concerts in the twin cities Palaiseau and Unna, children's painting festivals on the marketplaces, festival programs of the sports clubs, advance rentals by the cultural administration, special film series the adult education center, as well as the series JAZZ AKTUELL set up with the tailwind of the cultural committee , the regular events of institutions located in the city such as the International Library of Composers and the International Center for Light Art as well as other nationally important institutions activities, for example the Westphalian Literature Office in Unna e. V. with its international Mord am Hellweg biennial , as well as the event program of the cultural institutions of the district town of Unna (for example, annual: Summertime (cultural summer open air) ).

Every two years "Un (n) a Festa Italiana", the largest Italian festival north of the Alps, takes place in the city center. In 2001 around 200,000 visitors found their way to Unna, in 2007 around 250,000 guests were expected. Elaborate illuminations from Bari are a particular attraction .

The city festival takes place in Unna every first weekend in September. Various musical styles and artists are presented on up to seven stages throughout the city center. In addition to local greats such as the Cantus Brutalis group, well-known music groups such as the Cologne group Brings (2004) also perform . The festival opens on Friday evening with the Altbier evening and the traditional tapping of the keg by the mayor.

Economy and Infrastructure

economy

Until the middle of the 19th century, Unna was still a predominantly agricultural town. In 1828 beer breweries, distilleries, pottery and a brick factory were named as "food branches" of the city. Salt production in Königsborn was also of great importance. From the beginning of industrialization - mainly due to coal mining - a change to an industrial location took place. In contrast to most cities in the Ruhr area, most jobs in Unna are still in industry (iron and metal processing, mechanical engineering) or in the skilled trades. With the former steelworks Westig, Zapp AG has been operating a factory for precision semi-finished products in Unna since 1991 . VDM Metals has been located in the Königsborn district since 1972 with a smelting plant for nickel alloys and special stainless steels. The company employs around 450 people in Unna. Aluminumwerk Unna AG employs 390 people at its location. The company headquarters and furniture store of the Zurbrüggen Wohnzentrum company are also considered to be a major employer . The WIMA company manufactures film capacitors in Unna.

The logistics sector is an increasingly important economic focus. The former Karstadt - central warehouse (now DHL ), the central bearing of the pump manufacturer Wilo SE , a distribution of the DPD and the Metro high-bay warehouse Varena are the best known representatives of this industry. Another large DHL logistics complex went into operation in 2008. In addition, Unna is also the place of residence for many commuters who work in neighboring cities in the Ruhr area.

The city of Unna has one of the higher average primary incomes per inhabitant in the Unna district. In a national comparison, it was ranked 93rd out of 396 municipalities in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2016 for average disposable income.

Road traffic

Unna is located directly on the federal motorways 1 (Cologne – Bremen) and 44 (Dortmund – Kassel) and is therefore very well connected to the motorway network.

The federal highway 1 crosses the city in a west-east direction, the B 233 originally ran from Werne via Unna towards Iserlohn. The section from the city center of Unna to the Kamen motorway access was downgraded to a state road (L 678).

Air traffic
