history

Bochumer Straße , which was formerly part of federal highway 51 (today Wuppertaler Straße), runs through Baak from north to south . Here it is also part of a historical trade route called the Hilinciweg . When the Ruhr Bridge did not yet exist, the river was crossed at the "Kölner Furt" opposite the Isenberg .

Winz-Baak still has rural features to this day, but the district also looks back on a past in the Ruhr mining industry. The mining operations included Blücher, Carl Theodor, Der Vater, Friede, Hugo, Maria, Mathias Erbstollen, Mercur , Im Rauendahl , Ruhrtal I, Ruhrtal II, Sieben Söhne, Stephansburger Erbstollen , Zeche Verlorener Sohn .

As early as 1787, four coal mines in Baak were connected to the coal defeat on the Ruhr with the Rauendahler Schiebeweg .

After the reorganization in 1815, Winz was the center of the Prussian office of Winz-Hattingen in the Bochum district , which stretched as far as Kidneyhof and Essen-Horst . On July 1, 1818, at the suggestion of the Bochum district administrator of Untzen, the Baak farmers were separated from the Blankenstein mayor and incorporated into the mayor's offices of Bochum and Hattingen.

The Gasthaus Königstein was a restaurant at the point where the railway line cut through the Ruhr slope shortly before the Hattingen railway bridge . The restaurant was built in 1870 by August König. In 1900 an extension was built; The owner was now Wilhelm Rossbach. 4,000 guests followed a speech by Reichstag member Otto Hue in 1910. French prisoners of war were housed here in 1941 and 1945. After that the property was a children's home. In the 1960s the house was to become a homeless shelter. In 1974 ten condominiums were set up in the building.

The community of Baak was dissolved on April 1, 1926 and incorporated into Winz together with Dumberg and Niederwenigern . On May 15, 1926, Winz was expanded to include Niederbonsfeld. On August 1, 1929, the community moved from the Hattingen district to the newly created Ennepe-Ruhr district. At the same time, part of the community was reclassified to Bochum. On April 1, 1939, the Baak part of the community was reclassified to the city of Hattingen.

On January 1, 1970, the municipality of Winz came to Hattingen through the law to reorganize the Ennepe-Ruhr district .

There is a functioning social life in Winz-Baak.

One of the sights is the Ruhr Valley, through which the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path also leads.
