Eving was first mentioned before and around 1220 as Evenecke in the bailiwick rolls of
Essen Abbey. The place was variously called 1287 Evenike, 1302 Euenic, 1303 Euenecke or 1305 Evenich. The
Stadtteil is famous for its history of
coal mining and the
football club
TuS Eving-Lindenhorst, for whom
Michael Zorc,
Stefan Klos and
Lars Ricken have played during their childhood and youth. The
Zeche Minister Stein was the last active coal mine in Dortmund. It was in use until 1987. ==References==
