The street is the extension of the Bahnhofstraße , Marktplatz and Burgstraße in an easterly direction. It continues in the direction of Pingsheim or Erftstadt. In 1926 the road was first paved with bluestone paving .
Before 1934 this street was called Provinzialstraße . From 1934 until the end of the war the street was called Hermann-Göring-Straße . At that time there were streets in almost every place that were named after Hermann Göring and / or Adolf Hitler . By decision of the council of December 9, 1954, the name was given to Am Kreuzberg . Until the 1980s, the street was a classified state road with the number 263. Due to the bypass, it lost its importance and was downgraded to a municipal road.
The street name on Creutzberg is already recorded in the rent register of the Nörvenich office from 1755.
The listed Heiligenhaus Am Kreuzberg stands on a hill . It used to be a normal floor cross . It can be assumed that the street name is derived from this "cross on the mountain".
