Berge Borbeck

listing on it for people wo were related to my father`s grandfather. It
says that they were arrived in 1902, and that their residence was "Berge
Borbeck Rpr." Does anyone know where "Berge Borbeck" is? I`m guessing
it`s in Westphalia, perhaps near, or even a part of, Essen. And what
does the abbreviation (I`m guessing it`s an abbreviation) "Rpr"
represent? Thank you.

correct spelling is Bergeborbeck a suburb of Essen, about 6 km WNW of
the center of Essen.

Rpr. represent Rheinprovinz. The Rheinprovinz was a part of Prussia and
Westphalia was another part of Prussia. But the border to Westphalia is
not far from Bergeborbeck.

spelling "Berge Borbeck" was the way the passenger list spelled it (I
was only spelling it the way it spelled the word). Do you know what
"Rpr" means? You mention that Bergeborbeck is a suburb of Essen. Thank
you for confirming my guess. Do you know if it was part of Essen in
1902, and if it was a suburb then? I ask because my knowledge of Germany
is limited, and I`m trying to learn something about the place that my
ancestor`s brother and his family apparently came from.

from google:
"Today's municipal district IV (since about 1974) is largely congruent
with the one to 1915 of independent community area of Borbeck,
Bergeborbeck also was part of it, except for the 1861 areas Lirich and
Lip-pern gone off to Oberhausen. This community area was part of the
group of the industry communities typical of the region with over 100000
inhabitants without town charter. Special fame attained Borbeck as “the
largest Prussian country community”. This time of the industrialization
and wrestling for town char-ters Borbeck owed still reconciles
representative buildings, such as the station Borbeck which learned a
decorative hand-crafted arranging in 2001, today.
Other parts of the municipal district, such as Schoenebeck, Bedingrade
and Gerschede, could keep their agrarian structures in parts and convey
to this day one clear picture to the pre-industrial time."
