The area belongs to the district of Rüttenscheid, which was incorporated into Essen in 1905. The Margarethenhöhe was donated by Margarethe Krupp in 1906 on the occasion of the wedding of her daughter Bertha and was built from 1906 to 1938 by the architect Georg Metzendorf (1874–1934), a member of the Deutscher Werkbund.[1] During the time of its construction, it was, like only the garden city of Dresden-Hellerau, freed from all building regulations by a government decree.

The first houses on the hill were completed in 1910.[2] Before that, in 1909, the viaduct had been built across the Borbecker Mühlenbachtal to open up and supply building materials to the new site and to connect it to the central settlement areas of Holsterhausen and Rüttenscheid. The viaduct also ran over the Mülheim-Heißen–Altendorf (Ruhr) railway line, opened in 1872, with the Margarethenhöhe passenger station (1946 to 1965).[3] The entrance building was later demolished and the railway line was shut down and replaced by a cycle path in 1999.

In 1924 Margarethenhöhe received a Catholic church, which was destroyed in 1944 during World War II. The current Holy Family Catholic Church was consecrated in 1952; since 2008 it has been the parish church of the parish of St. Antonius.

After the Second World War, the settlement, which was largely destroyed, was restored to its historical form.[4] In 1948 Margarethenhöhe became an independent district.[5]

On the still undeveloped land south of the first settlement, the Margarethenhöhe II settlement was built from 1962 to 1966 and 1971 to 1980, architecturally in part inferior and socially problematic, especially in the last construction phase, which also included high-rise buildings. According to the foundation, these houses set "a clear creative contrast to the old Margarethenhöhe".[6] In order to solve the social, technical and aesthetic problems of Margarethenhöhe II, a renovation program was started in 1987, which also significantly increased public appreciation of the younger settlement unit of Margarethenhöhe

The entrance portal to the Margarethenhöhe housing estate must have been built around 1900. The settlement was built by the Krupp company for employees and always rejoices with its wonderful Wilhelmine architecture, beautiful and quiet side streets and great overgrown houses. A must have a look here.
