Frohnhausen, Residential district in western Essen, Germany
Frohnhausen spans 3.62 square kilometers and contains a mix of residential areas, commercial spaces, and public facilities for its 32,612 inhabitants.
Between 1822 and 1895, the population increased from 570 to 5,700 residents due to workers seeking employment at the neighboring Krupp steel factory.
The Frohnhauser Market Square, established in 1910, features an Art Nouveau fountain installed in 1912 that represents local architectural heritage.
The district maintains five primary schools, two secondary schools, one gymnasium, three special education centers, and three vocational colleges for educational needs.
Archaeological findings indicate that Frohnhausen hosted the oldest professional mining operation in the Ruhr region during the 15th century.
