Location of Aegidienberg in North Rhine-Westphalia

Aegidienberg ( dialect "Jillienberch" or "Jillienberg") is a district of Bad Honnef in the Rhein-Sieg district in North Rhine-Westphalia . It is located with its 13 villages east of the Siebengebirge on the edge of the Niederwesterwald and is crossed by the federal highway 3 . Until 1969, Aegidienberg was an independent municipality in what was then the Siegkreis . The population was 7113 on January 1, 2014.

Surname

The parish name goes back to Sankt Aegidius (French: Saint Gilles), the patron saint of the local Catholic parish church . Until the 16th century the place was called Hunferode or Honferode (1347) or Honfrod or Honffrod (1555) or Honeffrhadt (1562) or Honnefer Rott , a different spelling is Honeferode

The area of ​​the city district of Aegidienberg includes the areas of the city area east of the Honnef city forest , i.e. the Siebengebirge and the Rheinwesterwälder volcanic ridge . In terms of natural space, they can be assigned to the Niederwesterwald high trough , more precisely to the Asbach plateau in the northwest of the Niederwesterwald. There the districts are spread over various hills, all of which are located in the broader Siebengebirge nature park . The Siebengebirge itself and the volcanic ridge that adjoins it to the south separate Aegidienberg from Bad Honnef, which is around five kilometers away in the Rhine Valley. Aegidienberg is on average about 200 meters higher than Bad Honnef. The two places are connected by the six-kilometer-long Schmelztal through which the state road 144 winds.

In the area of ​​the city district there are two smaller lakes, the Himberger See in the west and the Dachsberger See in the east. Both emerged from the respective basalt quarries that were operated there until after the Second World War . The Logebach and the Quirrenbach are two source brooks of the Pleisbach , which arise in the area and run through it, the Kochbach is a tributary of the Quirrenbach. The heights in the Aegidienberger area include the Himberg ( 335.2  m ), the Hupperichsberg ( 307.7  m ), the Markhövel (also called Romert ; 304.6  m ) and the Dachsberg ( 362.2  m ) - the latter the highest Survey of the city district. The main village Aegidienberg on the mountain of the same name is located at 286  m . There are two contiguous forest areas in the district, the Aegidienberger Forest to the east and the Vogelsbitze to the west of the motorway. In the far east, Aegidienberg has a share in the Eudenbach glider airfield on the Mußer Heide with its nature reserve .

The city district of Aegidienberg comprises 13 localities: Aegidienberg ( Kirchdorf ), Brüngsberg , Efferoth , Himberg , Höhe , Hövel , Neichen , Orscheid , Retscheid , Rottbitze , Siefenhoven , Wintersberg and Wülscheid . Parts of the Rottlandhof belonging to the local community Rheinbreitbach are in Aegidienberger and thus Bad Honnef area. The city district borders in the northwest on Ittenbach , in the north and northeast on the Oberhau (both districts of the city of Königswinter ) and in the east and south with the local communities Windhagen and Rheinbreitbach directly on Rhineland-Palatinate .

history

Rule and economy since the early Middle Ages

A document from the Archbishop of Cologne , Wichfried, from the year 948 laid down the boundaries of the Oberpleis provost and included what is now the district of Aegidienberg. The boundaries established there exist to this day as city borders and in the south and east as district and state borders. There is no information about the settlement for this time, it is assumed that isolated farms and charcoal burners were to be found here. A settlement of Aegidienberg by Honnef residents implied by the first place name Hunferode can only refer to the villages of Himberg, Hövel and Siefenhoven located at the exit of the Schmelztal valley . The origins of the settlements in the rest and especially in the east of the later municipal area lie in settlers who moved along the Pleisbach or the roads running in the mountain area, also in view of the difficult agricultural usability of the loamy soils .

Until their extinction, around 970, the Counts of Auelgau exercised worldly power over the area. Thereupon the Count Palatine ruled the Rhine . With the construction of the Löwenburg in the second half of the 12th century, the area fell under their rule and the growing villages were part of the Löwenburg office between 1484 and 1808 , which belonged to the Duchy of Berg .

On January 6, 1345, the first documentary mention, possibly referring only to the village later called “at the church ”, was named Hunferode . On January 5, 1349 another mention as Hunferoyde followed . The name Aegidienberg probably finally replaced this group of names in the 16th century. As one of the fourteen emergency helpers and as patron of the cattle , St. Aegidius was venerated from the end of the Middle Ages .

In a document "from because of the Bergische Pastoreyen" from 1506 the mention of a pastor named "Hermannus" comes from. The “Inquiry Book of the Principality of Berg” has identified “Gilienberg” as an independent parish since the introduction of the new Jülisch-Bergische judicial system in 1555 . Aegidienberg lost his former court with seven lay judges, but from then on sent two (from 1745 only one) lay judges to the newly formed Honnef court. The parish was administered by two jurors. It was made up of eight honors at the latest since the middle of the 18th century , until the Duchy of Berg was dissolved in 1806: Brüngsberg, Himberg, Höhe, Hövel, Orscheid, Retscheid, Siefenhoven and Wülscheid.

As owners or tenants , the residents worked the clayey , barren soils of Aegidienberg. In contrast to the term “ mother soil” , the term “father soil” is often used on site. Before the invention of artificial fertilizers , the fields were almost only suitable for growing barley and oats , which were the main foodstuffs of the population in the Middle Ages . In addition there was cattle breeding. With the beginning of the modern era of the diet was potatoes enriched and brought the community as their specialty - the "Rievkooche" ( potato pancakes ) that are missing to date on any public event.

The population had a share in the forest area of ​​the Honnefer Mark and was entitled to acorn fattening , use as firewood and fence wood and to use litter. The brushwood was available to the forest farmers for raising cattle. Logging rights in the forest belonged exclusively to the authorities. Furthermore, Aegidienberg had fixed obligations within the framework of the Löwenburg office's tithe system , it was obliged to pay initially 120 and later 200 Malter oats to the various officials. The residents had to cut the wood for the gallows of the Löwenburg jurisdiction in the area of ​​today's Lohfelder Straße in Honnef and maintain it and mow the meadows at the Löwenburger Hof . Bannmühle for Aegidienberg was the Quirrenbacher Mühle , located in the area of ​​the parish, at the latest since the end of the 15th century .

Non-ferrous metal ores have been mined in the area around the Siebengebirge since the Middle Ages , mainly for the extraction of copper , zinc and lead . In addition to the work in the mines themselves, the mines' constant need for charcoal ensured the operation of numerous charcoal burners in the area. The “Gotteshilfe” copper mine was located in the Neichen district and the “Flora”, “ Anrep-Zachäus ” and “Emma-Sofie” mines in Brüngsberg , where zinc and copper ore were quarried until the spring of 1906. The heaps of the pits can still be seen today on the slope of the Logebach valley . With the fall in the prices of non-ferrous metals, the mines in the Siebengebirge gradually closed in 1875.

Basalt is still quarried in the vicinity today . The basalt quarries on the Dachsberg and the Himberg were connected to the Bröltalbahn railway network, which branched out to Asbach , Bonn-Beuel , Siegburg and Waldbröl . The partial route operation was financed by the quarry operators for the basalt transport. A connection for passenger transport was discussed at various times in the municipal council, but never implemented. The two quarries in Aegidienberg have been idle since the 1960s and are now used as bathing lakes and recreational destinations, like many other quarries in the area.

Prussian time / German Empire

From 1806 Aegidienberg belonged to the Napoleonic Grand Duchy of Berg as part of the Löwenburg office that initially continued to exist . At the end of 1808, with the formation of cantons and Mairien (mayor's offices) in the Grand Duchy of Berg, new administrative structures based on the French model were introduced. The previous parish of Aegidienberg, like Honnef, Königswinter and Ittenbach, was assigned to the Mairie Königswinter in the canton of the same name, which was not fully functional until the spring of 1809. In the general government of Berg , the Mairie was known as the “ mayor's office ” from December 1813 . After the Rhineland became part of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 as a result of the Congress of Vienna , the mayor's office in Königswinter became the regular Prussian administrative unit within the newly formed district of Siegburg (from 1825 Siegkreis ). From 1822 it belonged to the Prussian Rhine Province .

On July 1, 1846, Aegidienberg received a local council , which replaced the local council consisting of lay judges. After Honnef in 1862 and Königswinter in 1889 as independent municipalities were subject to their own administrations, the municipality of Aegidienberg together with the municipality of Ittenbach remained in the mayor's office of Königswinter-Land, which was renamed "Amt Königswinter-Land" in 1927 and existed until 1969.

In 1885, 13 villages with 366 residential buildings (including uninhabited) and 327 households belonged to the community of Aegidienberg, which was also called Egidienberg or Agidienberg until 1888, after that only Aegidienberg or (officially recommended) Agidienberg. The associated districts were: the parish village Egidienberg (97 inhabitants), Brüngsberg (135), Efferoth (13), Himberg (162), Höhe (47), Hövel (285), Neichen (60), Orscheid (203), Retscheid ( 44), Rottbitze (97), Siefenhoven (108), Wintersberg (22) and Wüllscheid (255). The community of Aegidienberg had a total of 1528 inhabitants in 1885, of which 751 were men and 777 women. The community was independently Catholic with 1523 believers, there were also five Protestant Christians who were cared for by the Honnef parish. In 1885 the community had 1896 hectares, of which 690 hectares were arable land, 171 hectares were meadows and 925 hectares were forest.

Around 1855 the community was connected to Honnef via a country road (now Landesstraße 144 ), which led from Himberg via Asbach to Flammersfeld and later to Altenkirchen . In 1862 connecting roads were built from today's state road 247 to Wülscheid and Orscheid.

Based on the idea of Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen , around 50 citizens founded the “Aegidienberger Savings and Loan Association” on January 10, 1898. The cooperative made it possible to expand the water supply network from 1902 and from 1908 supported the automobile company, whose aim was to establish a bus connection to Bad Honnef and Königswinter.

Presumably playing children sparked a major fire in the Orscheid district on Whitsunday , June 12, 1905, which destroyed thirteen buildings. In 1912 the first gymnastics club "Germania" was founded.

With the beginning of the First World War in 1914, all teachers were called up for military service. Many events were held to promote war bonds. The Loan Association lost reserves of 13,000 Reichsmarks to the war loans . The longer the war lasted, the more urgently raw materials were needed, which the children in particular had to collect. Paper , glass and tinfoil , as well as large quantities of leaf hay, for the war horses. The leaves were plucked from the trees and delivered fresh or dried to the collection point in Siegburg. The drying took place in all possible places in the households. Copper fittings and all imaginable metal objects were requisitioned from households in numerous metal collections, even the church bells were processed in the armaments industry.

Separatist Monument

In November 1923, violent armed clashes with fatalities took place, especially in Himberg and Hövel, as part of the resistance against the separatist movement in the Rhineland ( Rhenish Republic ). A memorial in Hövel and graves in the cemetery commemorate the uprising in the Siebengebirge , which is also known as the Battle of Aegidienberg .

Local craft businesses built the St. Josef Monastery from 1925 , in which the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph in Valkenburg have maintained various charitable institutions since its inauguration in 1926, including a children's home or the "training of virgins" in household skills.

National Socialist dictatorship / Second World War

From 1937 onwards, the construction of the Reichsautobahn (today's Bundesautobahn 3 ) permanently changed the face of the area. For several years the surveying and construction work took place on the initially four-lane cement runway. In the district of Aegidienberg, earth was poured or eroded up to a depth of 20 m. As an underpass of the autobahn, three vault -like passages made of brick were built on Wülscheider Kirchweg, Orscheider Kirchweg and what later became Eudenbacher Strasse, while three bridges were built as overpasses on Rottbitzer Strasse, on Cookingbacher Strasse and on the road between Hövel and Brüngsberg ( Westerwälder Tor ) built. The Aegidienberger Autobahn was opened in September 1939. Some farms could no longer be run profitably due to the loss of land caused by the construction of the motorway. In addition, for many owners the plots were very scattered and very small. A land consolidation was started, but was interrupted due to the war.

During the National Socialist dictatorship , around 600 Soviet prisoners of war were used as slave labor in the basalt quarries in the area . Shortly before the US troops moved in, the people in the Giershausen hall were rounded up and deported further inland. At the end of the Second World War , violent fighting took place in the area. After the US troops crossed the Rhine near Remagen on March 7, 1945 , Aegidienberg came under heavy fire from American artillery in the following days . German troops had holed up here and were also bombarding the area around Remagen with heavy artillery. On March 13 in particular, many soldiers on both sides were killed in fighting. A brief armistice to rescue the dead was agreed, which was extraordinary.

On March 16, the town center came under heavy fire and eleven civilians died in the ruins of the monastery. The nuns were not allowed to hang a white flag with a red cross on the building in order to protect about sixty children, refugees and themselves. In addition, a radio car was set up in the courtyard of the monastery as a command post, which acted like a magnet on enemy fire. A widespread bombardment of the main town by the US Air Force was prevented at the last moment by negotiation in the afternoon of the same day and around 150 German soldiers became prisoners of war , others decided to continue fighting.

After the occupation by the American troops on March 17th, the place was then occupied for several days by German artillery with so-called and so deliberate “annihilation fire”. The Panzer Brigade 106 Feldherrnhalle and scattered parts of other troops had holed up at Orscheid and Wülscheid and shelled all the towns between Brüngsberg and Rottbitze. This led to severe damage to the complete destruction of all public and many residential and commercial buildings in the place.

In Aegidienberg the fighting was over on Easter Sunday , April 1st. In Orscheid, Wülscheid and Rottbitze the fighting continued for many days, with the front line changing several times. Allegedly, war reports exist in contemporary editions of the official US armed forces magazine Stars and Stripes . The traces of the fighting can still be seen in the area today. In the surrounding forests there are numerous foxholes of the US Army, countless impact holes of projectiles of all sizes and a crater near Wülscheid, where on March 10, 1945 a Wehrmacht ammunition wagon was blown up during the retreat.

Since the end of the war

In the first post-war years, there were unexplained robberies in the area that cost several lives. It would take until the early 1950s to identify the many war dead in the area and provide them with a dignified grave. The dead American soldiers were shipped back home. The remaining soldiers found their final resting place in the military cemetery near Ittenbach. About forty dead could never be identified. The war damage to the buildings was temporarily repaired. It was not until 1946 that the school was reopened with the approval of the Allied authorities. The renovation of the Catholic Church dragged on in parts until the 1960s. Plenty of war material lying around posed a serious threat to life for many years to come, and there were isolated accidents with dead and injured people.

At km 38.0 of the A3 is the memorial for Silke Bischoff, who was killed when Gladbeck was taken hostage .

The land consolidation project, which had become urgently necessary in 1937, was continued from 1948 and completed in 1953. Approximately 13,000 agricultural parcels were combined into approx. 1,600. The amalgamation concerned 2,345 hectares of arable land , grassland , forest , bodies of water , paths and farms on Aegidienberger and, to a small extent, Oberpleis municipality area. From July 1949 to July 1950, the Aegidienberg area west of the Autobahn belonged to the Bonn enclave , a special area under the Allied High Commission around the provisional seat of government of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 1955, the then district road from Aegidienberg to Ittenbach was opened. In the same year the inauguration of a new Marienkapelle took place at the foot of the Dachsberg. On February 4, 1961, the new Protestant church in the village was consecrated, which has since been called the Church of Peace.

Shortly after the end of the war, the sports club “TTV-Aegidienberg” was founded, but it was dissolved again in 1952 for financial reasons. Finally, in the spring of 1958, the "Soccer Club Sportfreunde Aegidienberg 1958" was launched, which now has several soccer teams as well as other sports departments and is the largest club in Aegidienberg.

In 1967 Aegidienberg had 3,504 inhabitants. 225 of them were employed in agriculture and forestry, 519 in manufacturing and 351 in the service sector. 564 outbound commuters were compared to 54 inbound commuters. 163 people were employed in 4 industrial companies. In 1967 there were public facilities: a primary school, a sports field, a kindergarten and a library.

With the law on the municipal reorganization of the Bonn area (Bonn law) of June 10, 1969, Aegidienberg was incorporated into the city of Bad Honnef on August 1, 1969. A merger of Aegidienberg with the mountain communities of Ittenbach , Heisterbacherrott , Oberpleis and Stieldorf had previously been considered. The district of Aegidienberg within the boundaries of the former community continues to exist.

On August 18, 1988, the hostage drama in Gladbeck came to a violent end on Federal Motorway 3 near the Hövel district , in which an 18-year-old woman was killed. Since 2009, a memorial has been commemorating the events at this point.

Post and bus history

Aegidienberg belonged to Landzustellbereich the post expedition Koenigswinter until 1854 the post expedition Honnef was assigned. In the same year, the first mailbox was set up at the school building. After the Honnef – Flammersfeld Provincial Road was completed in 1859, postal travel (so-called “personal mail”) was started on the section from Asbach via Aegidienberg to Honnef (and further to Königswinter) in 1860 using stagecoaches . This gave Aegidienberg a direct connection to the Rhine Valley for the first time. Stops were initially at the location of inns in Himberg and Rottbitze. In the course of the opening of the railway line on the right bank of the Rhine , personal mail was limited to the Honnef – Asbach line in 1870 (with the Honnef – Königswinter section closed) and has since operated twice a day.

In 1888, Himberg was the first district to have its own post office . From the beginning of 1901, the passenger mail service began using horse-drawn cabs , and from 1909 onwards, it was carried as motorized mail by post buses three to four times a day from Aegidienberg via Honnef to Königswinter. For this purpose, a so-called automobile company was founded in Aegidienberg , which took over the transport until 1920. From 1921 it was carried out by the Reichspost . In the 1920s and 1930s there were multiple changes to the route - at times the bus ran between Aegidienberg and Rheinbreitbach . When operations were resumed after the end of the war in 1945, it ran on the Honnef – Aegidienberg line, from December 1948 on to Windhagen and from 1950 back to Asbach. The church village only got its own post office in 1952 .

Former municipal coat of arms

Former municipal coat of arms

The design of the municipal coat of arms was suggested by the Selhofer teacher and local historian Franz Hermann Kemp in the early 1960s and finally implemented by the Euskirchen graphic artist Konrad Schaefer according to heraldic rules.

The coat of arms shows three green mountains of the Siebengebirge, Löwenburg , Lohrberg and Großer Ölberg in the lower area . On the middle mountain is the red and silver checkered coat of arms of the Löwenburg office , to whose judicial and administrative area Aegidienberg belonged as long as the office existed. Above is the symbol of Aegidienberg, the Romanesque tower of St. Aegidius Church, shown in silver on a red background. On November 4, 1963, the coat of arms was "approved" by the municipal council at its 44th meeting and approved on July 16, 1965 by the Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia. Today you can still see the coat of arms at local clubs.

Population development

Aegidienberg grew strongly after the Second World War, around half of the population growth in Bad Honnef after 1969 came from Aegidienberg. The following are the number of inhabitants on various reference dates:

Economy and Infrastructure

The city district is crossed by the federal motorway 3 over a length of 5240 m in a north-west-south-east direction. To the north of Aegidienberg, the motorway spans the Logebach with a 160 m long valley bridge ( Logebach valley bridge ), half of which also belongs to the area of ​​the city of Königswinter ( Ittenbach district ). In the east of Aegidienberg there is the junction Bad Honnef / Linz , which establishes the very good transport infrastructure of the community. In the Rottbitze district in particular, this led to extensive commercial and industrial settlements in the Vogelsbitze / Zilzkreuz commercial area (approx. 140,000 m²), south of the existing one on Heideweg. Another commercial area on the Dachsberg was developed in 2009, and the first project was implemented at the beginning of 2013. A second supply center was also built in Rottbitze by 2005. a. with a hardware store , several discounters and gas stations .

The route of the ICE high-speed line Cologne – Rhine / Main , which was opened at the end of 2002, runs along the federal motorway 3 with three tunnels and two bridges over the city area. The Logebachtal is crossed (from north to south) with the 173 m long Logebachtal bridge (northern section in the city of Königswinter), the central area of ​​Aegidienberg is crossed in the 1,240 m long Aegidienberg tunnel and the Kochbach is spanned by the 150 m long Kochbachtal bridge. In the south of the district, the 990 m long Rottbitzetunnel crosses under the junction of the motorway. The section crossing the mountain of the Kluse corridor between the Aegidienberg tunnel and the Kochbachtal bridge was subsequently converted into a 200 m long tunnel or trough structure . The closest ICE train station ( Siegburg / Bonn ) is in the district town of Siegburg .

The town district is connected to the Bad Honnefs valley area by Schmelztalstraße ( L 144 ). A large part of the traffic on this road is through traffic to the A 3. The state road 143, which begins at the state border towards Kretzhaus below Rottbitze, connects Aegidienberg in a northerly direction with Oberpleis . It crosses the A 3 between Hövel and Brüngsberg with a stone bridge , the so-called Westerwälder Tor from 1938. It is one of the few remaining stone bridges that were built during the construction of the autobahn, with its graywacke masonry , its large circular segment arch and its inner round arches as an art monument . State road 247, which begins in Rottbitze, leads in the direction of Asbach .

The community has its own brand of beer , the Jillienberger . Aegidienberger is the name of a horse breed that is bred by the local Feldmann stud . The Aegidienberger heard how the cultured there Iceland horse to gaited horses .

Public facilities

Aegidienberg Citizens' Office

Despite being incorporated into Bad Honnef, Aegidienberg has retained a certain degree of independence. Aegidienberg is the only part of a municipality in the Rhein-Sieg district that is designated as a municipality according to the state's municipal code. The city district of Aegidienberg therefore has a district committee that consists of 15 members and which can decide tasks that do not affect the rest of the city area on its own responsibility. At Aegidiusplatz in the center of the village there is a branch office of the city administration, which houses a citizens' office in addition to the district committee. In the same building there is also a so-called "contact point" (office) of the Bonn police headquarters.

In addition to five kindergartens and day-care centers distributed over the area of ​​the city district - two in Kirchdorf, two in Höhe and one in Orscheid - there is a municipal elementary school (Theodor Weinz School) in Aegidienberg . Plans to set up a comprehensive school for the entire mountain area of ​​the Siebengebirge have so far failed due to the expansion of the educational facilities in the valley area. The Protestant and Catholic parishes of Aegidienberg each maintain a public library , the Catholic one ( certified as a family center ) and the Protestant one of two kindergartens. The Aegidienberger sports field is located in Rottbitze on the south side of the Himberg, since 2010 it has been an artificial turf field .
