Independent tourism and recreation in the city of Hamm Historical information about the city of Hamm 1. Foundi...
1. Founding of the city - 1226
The history of Hamm begins on March 4, 1226. Count Adolph von der Mark founded a new settlement after the destruction of Ninbrugge. The city originated in an advantageous location between the Lippe and Aze rivers and soon became an important center of Mark County. The name Hamm is probably due to the ancient designation of the land between the rivers.
2. Medieval period
In the XIII-XV centuries, Hamm quickly developed as a commercial and craft city. Here appeared the market, the city council, the city wall and its own coin workshop. Due to its location on trade routes, the city gained great importance in the region and for some time served as the residence of the Counts of Mark.
3. Hanseatic
In 1469, Hamm joined the Hanseatic League. The city traded linen and other goods, and was also known for the local Hammscher Keut beer. Hanseatic ties strengthened the economic position of the city and connected it with the major trading centers of Northern Europe.
4. Reformation and Religious Change
In the XVI century, the ideas of the Reformation spread in Hamm. By 1562, the Reformed religion was finally established in the city. Religious changes have had a significant impact on the life of the urban community.
5. Thirty Years' War
The seventeenth century was one of the most difficult periods in the history of Hamm. During the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), the city came under the control of various armies about twenty times. The hostilities led to destruction, economic decline and population decline. In 1666, Hamm came under Brandenburg.
6. XVIII century
In the XVIII century, the city repeatedly suffered from major fires and hostilities. Between 1761 and 1762, Hamm was bombed by the French during the Seven Years' War. After that, the old city fortifications began to be dismantled, and the city was gradually rebuilt.
7. Industrial development of the nineteenth century
The real economic change occurred in the XIX century. In Hamm, metalworking, wire production and other industrial enterprises developed. Especially important was the appearance of the railway in 1847. Hamm quickly became a major railway junction in Westphalia.
The development of transport stimulated trade and industry. Additional importance were the navigable Lippe and later the Datteln-Hamm canal, thanks to which the city received its own port.
8. The coal industry
At the beginning of the XX century, coal mining was actively developing around Hamm. De Wendel, Maximilian, Radbod and Sachsen mines appeared. The city became an important industrial and working center, and the railway junction and port provided transportation of coal and products of enterprises.
9. The first half of the twentieth century
The First World War and economic crises greatly affected the city. After the Nazis came to power in 1933, political opponents of the regime and representatives of the labor movement were persecuted.
During World War II, Hamm was bombed several times due to its railway and industrial importance. Industrial facilities, transport infrastructure and the historic center were severely damaged.
10. Post-war reconstruction
After 1945, Hamm rebuilt residential areas, businesses and transportation infrastructure. At the same time, part of the historical building was lost. Preserved buildings and monuments have become an important part of modern urban culture.
11. Expansion of the city in 1975
In 1975, as a result of administrative reform, several neighboring settlements were added to Hamm: Bokum Heuvel, Heessen, Herringen, Pelkum, Rinern and Wentrop. Due to this, the city has significantly expanded and acquired a modern territorial structure.
12. The Decline of the Coal Industry
In the second half of the twentieth century, Germany began to reduce coal production. The mines around Hamm gradually closed and the city faced the need to rebuild its economy. Former industrial areas have gradually become cultural, recreational and public spaces.
13. Hamm today.
Modern Hamm combines medieval heritage, industrial history and modern urban infrastructure. Historical churches, old city blocks and industrial monuments are preserved in the city, and the railway, canal and port are still of great importance.
