The Müngersdorf district is located in the west of Cologne in the Lindenthal district . The district is known nationwide because of the Rheinenergiestadion , the venue for 1. FC Cologne . In addition, the German Sport University Cologne and the cable network operator Unitymedia are located in the district. Due to its location in the outer Cologne green belt, the place is one of the city's preferred residential areas.
location
Müngersdorf borders in the east on Ehrenfeld and Braunsfeld , in the south on Lindenthal and Junkersdorf , in the west also on Junkersdorf and Lövenich . In the north at Widdersdorf and Vogelsang .
history
prehistory
Found tools of a line ceramic settlement from the 5th millennium BC BC could prove a long history of settlement of the place.
Roman times
On both sides of the Roman road Via Belgica , today's Aachener Straße , which runs through Müngersdorf, numerous finds from Roman times have been brought to light over the years , which indicate continuous settlement even in antiquity.
From 50 AD onwards, the Villa rustica von Köln-Müngersdorf was built in Müngersdorf , a Roman manor house which , together with its burial ground, was largely excavated in 1925/26. Major parts of the farm date from the 3rd century, the manor was used until the end of the 4th century.
Early middle ages
Even in the Merovingian era, the area remained populated. This refers u. a. an early medieval burial ground made up of 149 graves from around 440 and 640 AD, which was completely excavated in the 1920s near the stadium on Aachener Strasse under the direction of Fritz Fremersdorf using exemplary modern technology at the time. This suggests a number of about 50-55 people living at the same time. A large burial ground from a similar period, known as Köln-Junkersdorf , is only about 1 km to the west.
In 899 a small hamlet and the Morsdorf estate, which belonged to the property of the St. Gereon Abbey in Cologne , were mentioned in a document.
Medieval and early modern times
The place name "Mundestorp" was first mentioned in writing in a document from Archbishop Warin dated October 25, 980, which contained a donation to St. Ursula . Today's name Müngersdorf was probably created through several name changes that have taken place over the centuries. From the Middle Ages, Müngersdorf belonged politically to the office of Königsdorf in the Electorate of Cologne .
The village structure was shaped by several manors:
- The Morsdorfer Hof monastery, which has been rebuilt several times after decay or destruction. In 1663 it was 210 acres in size.
- the church or Harzheimer Hof, property of the Cistercians - Altenberg Abbey ,
- the Petershof, which was also called Marienhof in documents.
- the Le Maire- or Domshof in Wendelinstrasse
- the Herriger- or Türkshof in Herriger Gasse (mentioned in 1843)
- the Belvedere manor in Wendelinstrasse (mentioned in 1844)
In addition to these manors, the townscape was also characterized by many small half-timbered or brick houses of the farm workers, some of which can still be seen in today's Müngersdorf. For example the “Pescher Hüsje” (renovated), Haus Fenger-Schöngen (decaying), or a small inn “Im St. Wendelin ”.
In 1794 French troops occupied the place and the Mairie Müngersdorf was created, which belonged to the canton of Weiden in the Arrondissement de Cologne in the Département de la Roer . The mayor's seat was the Domshof (demolished in 1910).
Prussian time

In 1815 the mayor's office at Müngersdorf came to the Kingdom of Prussia and the district of Cologne . Mayors were:
- 1808–1836 Mathias Klein
- 1837–1846 Franz Andreas Klein
- 1846–1847 Tillman Klein (Acting Mayor)
- 1847–1849 Jakob Theodor Iven
- 1850–1851 Peter Josef Felten (acting mayor)
- 1851–1858 Carl Theodor Felten
- 1859–1878 Christian Schult
- 1878–1880 Wilhelm Hackländer (acting mayor)
In 1830 the now secularized Dominialgut Morsdorfer Hof was offered for sale with 442 acres. In 1881 a lawyer named August Elven was recorded as the new owner. The municipality of Cologne (the poor foundation property) was the owner of the Morsdorfer Hof 20 years later. In 1929 it was finally demolished and the land that had been gained was parceled out for residential purposes.
In 1839 the railway line from Cologne's Am Thürmchen station to Müngersdorf with the Belvedere station went into operation. In 1866 Vornippes was spun off from the mayor's office in Müngersdorf and incorporated into the mayor's office in Longerich. Müngersdorf kept its dominant agricultural character due to the many farms almost unchanged until the beginning of the 20th century.
However, through the construction of the Cologne fortress ring in 1870/80, the Müngersdorf mayor's office was closely linked to the city of Cologne . The Prussian Fort V in Müngersdorf (Walter-Binder-Weg) with its casemates was built in 1874 and has served as a fortress prison for the royal military garrison garrison since 1879.
Also in 1879 the mayor's office in Müngersdorf was divided into the town of Ehrenfeld and the mayor's office in Müngersdorf. In addition to Müngersdorf, the municipalities of Bickendorf , Bocklemünd , Melaten , Mengenich , Ossendorf and Vogelsang belonged to the mayor's office of Müngersdorf .
In 1888, Müngersdorf and its districts were finally incorporated into Cologne.
The 20th century
For the time being, there were no significant changes in the townscape. Structural expansions were not made until 1900 when industry settled in the area around Eupener Strasse, away from the old town center. Supported by the establishment of the outer green belt in the 1920s, initiated by Konrad Adenauer and city architect Fritz Schumacher, Müngersdorf increasingly developed into a villa suburb. On both sides of Aachener Strasse - but especially to the south of it - a large sports complex was built as part of the green belt construction.
These play and sports parks, which have now almost been forgotten, were a widespread type of open space in the Weimar Republic and, in addition to the development of sports activities, should be able to dampen social tensions. Fritz Encke , then City Garden Director, was responsible for the planning . The facility was strongly axially shaped and, in addition to three main arenas, had athletics, tennis and hockey courts, bike, riding and swimming lanes as well as an open-air pool. The Müngersdorf sports park still exists, although it has been heavily redesigned: the Rheinenergiestadion is now located on the area of the former main arena .
In the above-mentioned former fort and the adjoining area, the so-called " Müngersdorf Jewish camp " was located during the Nazi era during the Second World War . The Jews who had been driven out of their houses and apartments were concentrated here before they were transported to the extermination camps . Only the parish chronicle of the parish of St. Wendelin, at the time managed by Pastor Leo Ditges, gives an approximate idea of the imprisonment of Jews in this camp. In the camp barracks behind the fort, up to 2,500 Jews from the Cologne / Aachen district were temporarily housed, all of whom were transported away.
Around 1962, Fort V, which was initially still relatively well preserved, was demolished. The reasons were high maintenance costs and a lack of subsequent use. Today only a forest clearing testifies to the location of the plant. A memorial stone on the sports field in Hermann-Garke-Weg commemorates the Nazi victims.
The intermediate plant V a on Belvederestrasse was converted into a so-called open-air and garden school, or Freiluga for short, in 1925 . The exposed Kehl barracks of the fortress structure is preserved, the pointed barracks out of town was demolished. The side trenches are still visible in remnants in the area, as is a rock garden with a pond in the northern trench. The Freiluga exhibits a profile of the Cologne Rhine Valley reproduced with original materials (e.g. lignite ). The fortress, Freiluga and Profil have been under monument protection since 1980.

- Unemployment rate: 5.3% (2014)
Churches
The neo-Romanesque brick basilica St. Vitalis was built by the architect Theodor Kremer in 1889/90. Until 1888, the former parish church, founded by the St. Aposteln Abbey at the beginning of the 13th century, stood in the same place . The interior was redesigned in 1960 by the architect Rudolf Schwarz .
The rectory next to the church from 1880 has also been preserved.
The Evangelical Clarenbach parish looks after the believers in the Müngersdorf and Braunsfeld districts. Services are held in the more than 50-year-old Clarenbach Church at Aachener Strasse 458.
At Brauweiler Weg 8 in Cologne Müngersdorf you will find the Dr. Schaefer Ismer. A house that was owned by a couple named Dr. After her death, Schaefer-Ismer was donated to the Evangelical Clarenbach parish with the proviso that this and the property belonging to it was run as an open house for senior citizens.
Educational institutions
A school in Müngersdorf is also mentioned in 1806; it is a small house on the current property on Wendelinstrasse 77, which also housed the police station and the teacher's apartment. This first dwarf school had to be content for over 50 years until the new building in 1858. The new building, provided with a large school hall, teacher and official apartment, was built on the site of today's stadium pharmacy. In spite of a later increase and expansion to five classrooms - by 1905 the number of students had grown to 243 - a larger school building was required again. On September 14, 1905, teachers and children finally moved into the new school at Wendelinstrasse 64. The school was now constantly being expanded, as the number of schoolchildren increased steadily as the town grew; in 1937 there were 1,104 students, divided into 19 classes.
Müngersdorf has today (status: 2005):
- The Müngersdorf Community Primary School with 166 students
- The Ernst-Simons-Realschule with 456 students
- The Anna Freud School, special needs school with 260 students
Other educational institutions located in Müngersdorf are:
- German sports university with federal performance centers (only sports university in Germany)
- Freiluga, open-air and gardening school
Rheinenergiestadion / Müngersdorfer Stadion
.jpg)
The sports facility known for many decades under the name “ Müngersdorfer Stadion ” was planned in the 1920s by K. Theo Nussbaum, head of the design department of the municipal horticultural directorate.
The system was laid out with a main, a west and an east arena; the main stand had 3,000 seats. The cost of the entire system added up to 47.4 million marks. In 1923 the building was inaugurated by the then Lord Mayor Konrad Adenauer. For a long time the old main arena was considered to be one of the most beautiful and functionally best sports facilities in Europe.
