Heinrich Robert: The unclear border between Herringen and Pelkum
Heinrich Robert: The unclear border between Herringen and Pelkum
Again and again the creative area Heinrich Robert in Hamm causes discussions about his geographical belonging. Despite the spatial proximity to the Pelkum district, it should clearly be called. The course of the border is determined by Kamener Straße, which separates the two districts. This clarity is of great importance for the political representatives in Herringen.
The last controversy was triggered by an error in the planning for new mobile stations in the city, whereby the location of the creative area was incorrectly specified as part of Wiescherhöfen. Julian Janssen, the head of the SPD district parliamentary group Herringen, made it clear: "The creative area belongs to Herringen." This correction was also supported by Barbara Güldenhaupt, the chairman of the SPD parliamentary group in Pelkum.
art and cooperation as a bridge between urban districts
Despite recurring misunderstandings, Heinrich Robert's responsible people see the location as a kind of link between Herringen and Pelkum. This should not only be promoted by political discussions, but also by cultural events. For example, the two district mayors, Franz Tillmann and Axel Püttner, invite you to celebrate the switching Christmas tree on the hammer head tower. This annual event is intended to strengthen the community of both districts.
In addition, plans are in the works to set up an artistically designed support bike between the districts. Jürgen Tempelmann, board member of the Ruhrstadt Foundation, which has the buildings in the creative area, emphasizes the importance of this project as a symbolic connection element. The artistic design is to be made by Norbert Then, a long -time partner of Tempelmann, while the city decides on the best location to do this.
future developments in Herringen
The belonging to the creative area could be increased in the near future, since new construction areas are to be developed on the site in the coming years. This will probably mean that most of the new residents will live in Herringen, despite the traditional discussions with Pelkum. These developments will further influence the social structure.
The clear borderline and current political developments show how important the identity of a district is for its citizens. So it remains to be seen how the joint projects for both districts will look in the future and what role the Creativrevier Heinrich Robert will play.
