Regulation
The Eigen district, located in the central part of Bottrop, borders the urban areas of Batenbrock, Boy, Grafenwald, Stadtmitte and Fuhlenbrock. On the eastern border, Eigen adjoins the Ellinghorst area of Gladbeck.
Population
Aigen's population of approximately 12.5 thousand inhabitants is dispersed over an area of approximately 12 km².
Coal industry
Coal in the Eigen district has been discovered and actively mined since the beginning of the 19th century , but mining on an industrial scale only began in 1901 , when the Rainbaben mine was commissioned. Despite the fact that Bottrop is located in the region of intensive mining of the Ruhr coal basin and the whole territory of Aigen is located over several layers of carbon carbon , lying at a depth of 1 km, this mine was the only one in the region. It lasted until 1967 , when it was mothballed as a result of the coal crisis. Since then, coal has not been mined in the Eigen area.

In the north of the district there is a bunch of two autobahns in Germany - “ A 2 ” and “A 31”. Local traffic is provided by the buses of the Festische Strassenbahnen GmbH company (Vestische Straßenbahnen GmbH). Aigen has its fleet of vehicles .
Tram History
Since May 28, 1909 a tram of the Glabdek-Bottrop line began to run through Eigen [4] . He followed the entire district from north to south along the main street bearing the name of the city of Gladbeck (Gladbecker Strasse, Gladbecker Straße). At that time the line was called “A” and in 1913 the trams ran with a 20-minute beat between Gladbeck, Bottrop and Osterfeld ( Oberhausen ). With the outbreak of World War I, the tact changed to 40 minutes. From 1907 to 1915, the tram network belonged to Die Recklinghausener Straßenbahn.
In 1915, the company was transformed into "Die Vestischen Kleinbahnen GmbH" and lasted until 1940 in this form. The time from 1924 until the outbreak of World War II became the “golden age” in the history of the local tram. Line number 18 was 14.5 km long and the tram ran with a 20-minute beat.
From 1940 to 1982, the tram company was called Vestische Straßenbahnen GmbH Festisch Strassenbahnen GmbH. In 1946, the numbering of the lines changed and trams No. 19, 22 ran through Eigen on the same rails. In 1957 they were replaced by No. 10. At that time, this line was the longest in the region. Its length from west to east was 35 km and it connected Recklinghausen with Oberhausen . Due to the active competition of buses in the post-war period, the tram tracks began to be dismantled and on November 27, 1976 the tram in Bottrop (tram number 17 ran through Aigen) was eliminated, although the tram name “Festishe Strassenbanen GmbH” still remains and refers to to the bus depot serving Bottrop.
