Grumme

The Bochum district Grumme belongs to a large extent to the municipality center and close to the north of the city center. On 1 April 1904, the lying around Bochum small towns were incorporated, including Grumme.

Previously were at today's sports complex Hiltroper Street ( near the last still standing former colliery residential house No. 218), the pits VI / VII of mine Constantin.

By running through Grumme A 40, the so-called Ruhrschnellweg, the district is cut. This was mitigated in the field of Heckertstraße by a later set to the highway cover something. It serves not only the noise protection for the adjacent settlements, on the highway, a park with play areas has been set. The Grummer lid was opened in 1989.

Along the exit Bochum Stadium next to the Rewirpowerstadion (until 2006 Ruhr Stadium ) and the event hall Ruhr Congress Bochum, various hotels, the building of the musical " Starlight Express" and the St. Joseph Hospital, one of the four major Bochum hospitals.

Once a year, the festival takes place at the Grummer ponds. The ponds were created in the period between 1950 and 1970 artificially as a recreational area. In this part of Grumme, particularly in the area of ​​the old restaurant Goeke ( Josephinenstraße 65) or at the mountain Kötter, Grumme looks more like a small town in the country as part of a metropolitan area.
