Wullen is a district of Annen , Witten , North Rhine-Westphalia .
history
Wullen was first mentioned in a document in 1019 with a farm . The area grew over the decades, and in 1096 two more farms were mentioned that had been donated to Siegburg Abbey . According to tradition, the village must have been completely surrounded by dense forests at the time, so that the residents were only able to visit other surrounding villages with great effort. Translated into high German , Wullen means something like "Wolfstal" . Over time, that changed the landscape and the forests gave way gradually fields on which the inhabitants over the centuries agriculture operated.
Wullen has grown together to the northeast with the former pond of Bebbelsdorf .
In 1809, during the occupation of the region by Napoleon I , the churches were Witten , Annen , Rüdinghausen , Wullen and that today has become Bochum belonging Langendreer to Mairie Witten combined. After the French withdrew, this administrative structure was dissolved again, but Wullen remained connected to Annen. Around 1830 they were assigned to the Dorstfeld office , together they finally formed the rural community of Annen-Wullen from around 1850 , which came to the Dortmund district in 1871 , before finally falling to the Hörde district in 1885 .
When the district of Hörde was dissolved in 1929, Hörde became a district of Dortmund , while Annen became part of Witten. With this community reform , the district fell to the Ruhr area town of Witten.
In contrast to Annen, which grew from a farming village to a small town during the coal mining industry , Wullen has retained its original face in at least some areas . It was only in the last decades of the 20th century that more residential developments came about in Wullen ( colloquially it actually means “in Wullen” and not “in Wullen” ) , and an industrial area emerged.
education
The University of Witten / Herdecke (UW / H), the only fully privately funded university in Germany , has been located in Wullen since the campus was built in 1993.

Witten districts
The urban area of Wittens is divided into eight districts . The city districts, in turn, are divided into districts - colloquially: districts. Wullen is not a district, just a district. Like all districts, it has a number (42) and belongs to the Annen district. If other lists name twelve districts, this is because the districts of the formerly independent city of Herbede are counted as independent districts in these lists.
