Siedlung Flöz Dickebank, Cultural heritage monument in Gelsenkirchen, Germany
The residential complex consists of multiple houses with narrow gardens behind each building, featuring cast-iron inspection covers and historic street lamps throughout the neighborhood.
The settlement, originally named Kolonie Ottilienau, was constructed between 1872 and 1976 to accommodate mining families working at the Holland, Alma, and Rheinelbe coal mines.
The residential development represents different construction phases and building types, making it a significant example of workers' housing in the Ruhr industrial region.
The settlement includes housing units along Virchowstrasse, Ulmenstrasse, Flöz Dickebank, and Flöz Sonnenschein streets, with additional structures across Bochumer Strasse.
In 1974, residents successfully opposed demolition plans, leading to preservation efforts and the establishment of a community building for political events and gatherings.
