Wanne-Eickel was an independent city in the northern Ruhr area that existed from 1926 to 1974. As part of the NRW regional reform , it was merged with the independent city of Herne with effect from January 1, 1975 . Wanne-Eickel was granted district freedom in 1926 as an urban district, from 1955 to 1970 it was a major city . Until the merger with Herne, Wanne-Eickel had the greatest statistical population density of all German cities; on an area of 21.31 km² this was about 5,100 inhabitants per km² in December 1965.
The coat of arms of the town of Wanne-Eickel was changed slightly to that of the new town of Herne. The city colors gold-black-gold were also adopted. The old WAN license plate can be reassigned since December 2012 in connection with license plate liberalization .
The development of Wanne-Eickel was closely linked to mining, which had a decisive influence on growth. A total of 20 pits from the Königsgrube , Hannibal , Pluto Thies / Pluto Wilhelm , Unser Fritz and Shamrock collieries were distributed across the former urban area . Coal mining lasted from 1856 to 1993, and several industrial monuments remember this time.
history
The part of the later twin town that was more important in the Middle Ages was the Eickel to the south, first mentioned as Eclo in the early Middle Ages . At the beginning of the 14th century the first church was mentioned in the village. The largest settlement in the northern part of what would later become the city was called Bickern . Another historic district is Crange , which was raised to a freedom in 1484 and was allowed to hold a horse market. The Cranger Kirmes , which is also known nationwide, developed from this market . These three places were 1 August 1875 inclusion of places Holsworthy and Röhlinghausen for Office tub in district Bochum combined. Before that, the places mentioned belonged to the Herne Office .
The name Wanne for the new office is an old field name in a depression, which, however, is documented as villa Wanomhana as a subordinate of Bickern as early as the 9th century . The name was a compromise solution on the occasion of the naming of the common station on the Cologne-Minden Railway, which opened in 1847 . This station developed into the largest marshalling yard in the central Ruhr area , which, by the way, was the only one in the Ruhr area to combine all four modes of operation: In addition to the aforementioned function as a marshalling yard, it was also the home station for over 300 locomotives and traction vehicles, freight yard and passenger station. As the main train station, it still has important traffic significance as the intersection of the east-west connection Dortmund - Oberhausen with the north-south connection Münster - Essen .
With the rapid industrialization in the second half of the 19th century , the settlements grew considerably. In 1885 the Wanne office came to the new district of Gelsenkirchen , and in 1897 the Bickern municipality took over the name "Wanne" from its office. In 1891 the Wanne office was divided, the new Eickel office was created with the communities of Eickel and Holsterhausen. The municipalities of Wanne (formerly Bickern), Crange and Röhlinghausen remained in the Wanne office. In 1905 Crange was incorporated into Wanne and in 1910 Holsterhausen was incorporated into Eickel . The Eickel office then consisted of only one municipality, while the Wanne office still included the Röhlinghausen municipality.
On April 1, 1926, the two offices tub and Eickel became the independent city Wanne-Eickel combined . During the Second World War , Wanne-Eickel was badly damaged by Allied bombing attacks - on the one hand because of its large train station, which formed a hub for supplies to the western front , and on the other because of the production of synthetic gasoline in the "fuel works" in Eickel. After the Second World War, the population rose sharply, so that Wanne-Eickel rose to become a major city in 1955 . Wanne-Eickel did not even exist as an independent town for 50 years. In order to avoid the threat of incorporation into Bochum as part of a municipal reform, the council of Wanne-Eickel decided to merge with the neighboring town of Herne, which was roughly the same size. The legislature followed this wish and so on January 1, 1975 the new city of Herne was created, in which four new city districts were formed. This resulted in the formation of the current city districts of Wanne and Eickel. In the former urban area of Wanne-Eickels, the name “Wanne-Eickel” is still used today, but it is still known throughout the region. The German Bahn AG has the name " Wanne-Eickel Hbf maintained". In 2003, Deutsche Bahn planned to rename it to Herne-Wanne or Herne Hauptbahnhof. However, these considerations met with great resistance in Wanne-Eickel, so that the local politicians in Herne also dealt with them.
Economy and Infrastructure
Companies
In addition to mining, the most important branch of the city for a long time, bread production played an important role in Wanne-Eickel's economic history. The bakers 'and confectioners' guild of the two offices of Wanne and Eickel already had so many members in 1907 that they formed their own health insurance fund. Before the Second World War, Wanne-Eickel occupied fourth place in bread production in Germany based on the size of the population. At that time, Wanne-Eickel was actually referred to as the city of bread .
Another well-known branch of industry was the beer production of the Eickel Pils by the Hülsmann brewery. This closed in 1992; The Hülsmann pub is now located in the building of the former brewery, as well as several administrative offices of the city of Herne in the former brewery and brewhouse .
traffic
In the city of Wanne-Eickel there are the following important transport connections:
Railways
The freight traffic, which is important for Wanne-Eickel, is handled on Deutsche Bahn , Wanne-Herner Eisenbahn and RBH Logistics routes . The last two mainly connect the industrial companies, such as the freight traffic center in Wanner Westhafen, Evonik Industries and the coal mixing plant of DSK at Wanne-Eickel main station.
For the routes in the Wanne-Eickel area, see Wanne-Eickel Hbf . In the city there were formerly four stops or train stations , of which only
- Wanne-Eickel Hbf
has been preserved as a passenger train station.
- The Röhlinghausen stop on the salt line between Bochum-Riemke and Wanne-Eickel has been in operation since 1893. The station building was not rebuilt after being destroyed in World War II. In 1950 the breakpoint was renamed Wanne-Röhlinghausen . Passenger train traffic was discontinued in 1960 with the closure of the Königsgrube colliery .
- The Hordel-Eickel stop between Bochum-Riemke and Wanne-Eickel was put into operation in 1886. The first station building had formerly been in Oberhausen and, after Eickel translocated . Due to subsidence, the railway line was lifted and the old station building was replaced by a modern building. In 1950 the breakpoint was renamed Wanne-Eickel Süd . The passenger train service was stopped in 1960.
- Our Fritz stop between Wanne-Eickel and Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck was put into operation in 1891. The station was named Wanne-Unser Fritz in 1914 . Operation in passenger traffic was given up in 1983.
tram
Today there is only one tram line left, line 306 of Bochum-Gelsenkirchener Straßenbahnen AG (BOGESTRA), which connects the main stations of Wanne-Eickel and Bochum . Until the 1950s, line 4 of the BOGESTRA ran from the main station via Gelsenkirchen to Essen-Steele and line 1 of the Vestischen from the main station to Herten.
Streets and squares
As early as the 17th century there were carters in the Bochum office who took over the transport of coal from the mining areas of the county of Mark to the Lippe or to the Rhine. As the plans to make the Emscher navigable failed, the Gahlener Kohlenweg was laid out in 1763 . From Bochum-Hamme via Eickel, Holsterhausen, Crange and Unser Fritz on to Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck, this trade route crossed the Wanne-Eickel area over a length of about 8 km. Some structures, some of which still exist today, were erected along the route. On the border to Bochum is the former restaurant " Löns Mühle ", on whose meadows there was a racecourse; In the middle of the trade route is the former " Schlenkhoffsche Kotten ", the restaurant Zum alten Fritz ; on the border to Gelsenkirchen there is the Fleuthebrücke . The course of Reichsstraße 226, built in 1937 and today's B 226, is almost identical to the Kohlenweg in Wanne-Eickel. Today's main street, the Communicationsweg in the Eickel community atlas from 1923, can already be seen on the map from 1842. A part of Wanner was called the "Renne".
Highways
The A 42 was completed in the Wanne-Eickel area between the Herne Baukau (22) and Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck (18) junctions between 1968 and 1971. Initially released as a state road , it was upgraded to a motorway as part of the construction work. The Herne-Wanne (19), Herne-Crange (20) junction and the Herne motorway junction (21) are located in the Wanne-Eickeler area .
The Reichsstraße 51, which was introduced in 1934 and later the B 51 , was expanded in the Wanne-Eickel area in 1967 to the A 43 between the Recklinghausen-Hochlarmark (13) and Bochum-Riemke (16) junctions. From the city limits of Bochum to about the crossing under the Cranger Straße it forms the border to Herne. The Herne-Eickel junction (15) and the Herne motorway junction (14) are located in the Wanne-Eickel area .
The Herten (7) junction of the A 2 and Bochum-Hamme (33) junction of the A 40 indicate on their departure signs to districts of Wanne-Eickel, but the junctions are approx. 2 km from the city limits. The motorways do not cross the Wanne-Eickel area.
Rhine-Herne Canal
The Emscher flowed in Wanne-Eickel meandering through a former meadow landscape. With the mining and the associated subsidence and pollution of the river, the river was straightened from the late 19th century, put in a concrete channel and moved up to 600 m to the north in the entire area of Wanne-Eickel. From 1906 to 1914, the "Royal Canal Construction Directorate" built the Rhine-Herne Canal on the former Emscher river bed. In this context, the Wanne-Eickel lock was built with a fall height of 8.40 m. The canal and lock have been partially expanded over the years to accommodate the larger ships. The Westhafen, where large quantities of bulk goods such as coal and sand were still being loaded during the mining era, was later backfilled. The bulk goods are loaded today at the quay wall of the canal. A modern freight transport center has been built on the filled harbor basin. The east port is used for the loading of scrap. Both ports and the freight center are operated by the Wanne-Herner Eisenbahn und Hafen .
Population development
In 1926 the municipalities of Wanne (40,000 inhabitants), Eickel (35,000 inhabitants) and Röhlinghausen (15,000 inhabitants) merged to form the town of Wanne-Eickel with around 90,000 inhabitants. In 1955, the city's population exceeded 100,000, making it a major city . In 1965 the population of Wanne-Eickel reached its historical high of around 110,000 (the city had more inhabitants than Herne at that time). Since then the number of inhabitants has decreased again. Wanne-Eickel remained a big city until the beginning of 1970. By 2001 the number had dropped to 80,218 inhabitants.
The following overview shows the number of inhabitants according to the respective territorial status. Up to 1833 these are mostly estimates, then census results (¹) or official updates by the respective statistical offices or the city administration itself. From 1843 onwards, the information relates to the “local population” and from 1925 to the resident population . Before 1843, the number of inhabitants was determined according to inconsistent survey methods.

politics
At the beginning of the 19th century, the community leaders and community representatives were at the head of the communities that later belonged to the city of Wanne-Eickel. After the offices of Wanne and Eickel had been formed, officials headed the administration. A city council was not elected until the city of Wanne-Eickel was formed in 1926. The head of the city was then the mayor, who was appointed by the NSDAP during the National Socialist era .
After the Second World War, the military government of the British occupation zone appointed a new Lord Mayor and in 1946 it introduced the local constitution based on the British model. Then there was a popularly elected “City Council”, whose members were called “City Councilors”. The council initially elected the mayor from among its members as chairman and representative of the city, who was active on a voluntary basis. Furthermore, from 1946 the council also elected a full-time senior city director as head of the city administration. This system existed until it was united with the city of Herne in 1975.
