Vennheide (Munster)
Vennheide is the name of a town cell in Münster in Westphalia . It belongs to the Hiltrup district as well as the Berg Fidel residential area , but it is clearly distinguishable from this both geographically and visually.
The city cell has an area of 1.67 km². It is limited to the east by Hammer Straße / B54 . In the north and west, the railway lines towards Gelsenkirchen and Dortmund form natural boundaries. The southern border to the Hünenburg town cell runs at the level of the Lördemann farm (located on Westfalenstraße). The Vennheide has a rural character, with both forest and agricultural areas to be found. Parts of the area are designated as water protection areas. There is also a municipal waterworks on Vennheideweg that supplies the southern part of the urban area of Münster.
There are two housing estates in Vennheide: the Vennheideweg / Elsa-Brändström-Weg settlement is located in the north-east, while the Grollheide / Am Brook splinter settlement also exists in the south-western area.
history
Until the 1930s, the Vennheide consisted largely of agricultural and forestry areas. At the end of the 19th century a horse-drawn tram was built here by the Westphalian Riding Club , which was shut down at the beginning of the First World War and a prison camp used by the military. In 1933 the city council of Münster decided on a social housing project for this area . The newly emerging settlement on the southernmost edge of the city should give families with many children in particular the opportunity to find sufficient living space close to the city (and thus to work). The division of the plots took into account the desire for sufficient garden areas for the residents to partially self- suffice by growing vegetables, so that the plot of land with approximately 1000–1500 m² each is larger than average. From the beginning, in addition to numerous single-family houses (or mostly semi-detached houses), multi-family houses were also built. Most of these have been renewed in the meantime. After the adoption of a new development plan in 1987, the development within the settlement was allowed to be condensed, so that today there are several residential buildings on most of the properties.
In the beginning there was no direct urban development connection to the rest of the city of Münster, but this changed in the late 1960s when the Berg Fidel district was built in the formerly agricultural area north of the Münster-Gelsenkirchen railway line. After the municipal reform in North Rhine-Westphalia in 1975, Vennheide became part of the newly founded Hiltrup district (named after the town of Hiltrup, which was incorporated in the south), although the area had previously belonged to the city of Münster (and never to Hiltrup).
societies
In 1951 the Vennheide shooting club was founded. A year later, some members of the association began to build their own marching band , the Spielmannszug Vennheide von 1952 e. V. The shooting festival , which takes place annually on the premises of the Vennemann restaurant on Hammer Straße, is still the biggest event in Vennheide today.
On the Vennheideweg the allotment garden of the allotment garden association Vennheide e. V. entertain.
The football club “Berg Fidel / Vennheide 72 Münster” is also worth mentioning . Its predecessor was "Teutonia Vennheide", founded in 1954 by the citizens of Vennheide. Until the promotion to the regional league in 1970, the club was able to record a steady upward development. Since Teutonia only had a provisional sports field on Sonnenbergweg up to that point - which is still used as a venue for today's club - a financially strong merger partner was then sought in order to be able to guarantee the sports operation in the long term. In 1971 the merger with Schwarzweiss Coerde followed to form Teutonia Münster. The newly founded club caused a stir for some time, in particular due to the self-imposed goal of overtaking the dominant second division club SC Preußen Münster in terms of performance. This goal was quickly abandoned due to personal differences between the two sponsors , the players then largely orientated themselves back to the Vennheide for the newly founded BFV in 1972.
