Location of Stommeln in Pulheim

Stommeln is a district of the city of Pulheim in the Rhein-Erft district northwest of Cologne .

geography

The town center lies on the edge of the dry central terrace, where the Stommeler Bach entered the humid lower terrace of the Rhine, which is characterized by old river channels.

Stommeler Bach

The Stommeler Bach played a key role in shaping the appearance and history of Stommeln until the 1950s. It flowed openly through Stommeln until the mid-1950s and was built over with many bridges in the town center. At times it carried a lot of water. Most of the water came from the Fortuna-Garsdorf open-cast mine in Bergheim Fortuna, which used the local waters to remove pumped-out groundwater. The brook occasionally caused severe flooding in the town center (especially in the 1940s), and in summer there were often hygienic problems with liquid manure and manure in the brook bed. Therefore, the stream was completely canalized in the 1950s. In the area of ​​the sports field, the stream enters the canal and comes back into daylight at the old sewage treatment plant in the northeast of Stommeln. The water flow became less and less over the years, mainly due to the fact that the water from the Fortuna opencast mine was no longer channeled into the stream. The creek has been practically drained since the end of the 1990s and only discharges some rainwater during severe storms. The Stommeler Bach and the Pulheimer Bach seep underground in the Stommeler Bruch towards the Rhine bed. Since the completion of the catch basin in the Rossackerweg / Tannenweg area, the situation has eased.

Local division

The district of Stommeln, consisting of Stommeln, Ingendorf and Stommelerbusch , covers an area of ​​approx. 254 ha. The population figures only refer to Stommeln.

Neighboring communities

In the north, Stommeln borders on the town of Rommerskirchen ( Rhein-Kreis Neuss ), in the west on the town of Fliesteden , in the south on Pulheim and in the east on Sinnersdorf .

history

Stumbele was mentioned for the first time in a deed of donation from Archbishop Brun of Cologne for the St. Cäcilien Abbey in Cologne in 962, as was the Church of St. Martin. The church is therefore much older - also because of its patronage after Martin von Tours . The name "Stumbele" possibly comes from the cutting down of the forest to build this village. After they were cut down, the tree stumps remained, which at that time were called "Stumbele". Over the years "Stumbele" became the place name "Stommeln".

Politically, Stommeln belonged together with Ingendorf, Pulheim and Geyen to the Bergheim office in the Duchy of Jülich since the Middle Ages . During the French rule from 1794 , the Mairie Stommeln was created in the canton of Dormagen in the Arrondissement de Cologne of the Département de la Roer . Since 1815 Stommeln belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia and formed its own mayor's office in the district of Cologne and in the newly formed administrative district of Cologne . The two communities of Stommeln and Sinnersdorf belonged to the mayor's office in Stommeln . The mayor's office in Stommeln has been called Amt Stommeln since 1927 , which was merged with the Amt Pulheim on October 1, 1934. On September 1, 1953, the community of Stommeln resigned from this office and has been vacant since then. The municipality of Stommeln was incorporated into today's city of Pulheim on January 1, 1975 (see Section 3 (1) Cologne Law ).

In 2012 the 1050th anniversary took place with many events.

coat of arms

Stommeln coat of arms
 Blazon : “In silver (white) a green, rooted, floating tree stump, a five-leaved green oak branch growing from it on the top right and left; the tree stump is covered with a golden (yellow) shield, in it a red armored soaring black lion. "
Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms was awarded on January 10, 1938 by the Prussian State Ministry. It is a talking coat of arms (Stommeln is derived from "Stump".) The lion symbolizes the earlier affiliation to the Duchy of Jülich since 1794.

Culture and sights

Old and New St. Martinus

Parts of the steeple of Alt St. Martinus date back to the 12th century. The originally single-nave aisle church on the old church hill was expanded and vaulted during the Gothic period. After 1900 the neo-Gothic new church was built - inauguration in 1904. Both churches are listed .

Stommeler windmill

Stommeler windmill

In 1571 the former owner, the Duke of Jülich , gave the "Wyntmoell in Stommel" a permanent lease to the community , but in 1704 it was rebuilt. On a map by the Cologne engraver and publisher Abraham Hogenberg (after 1578-after 1653) published after 1609, the windmill , built in 1503 and now a listed building , is clearly recognizable on its characteristic hill. At that time, Hogenberg referred to Stommeln as "Stummel".

At the beginning of the 19th century, the community of Stommeln became the owner of the mill . After the current windmill was built on the Mühlenberg in 1860–1864, the community continued the lease operation until 1936. Then it was sold to private owners. In 1937 the owner had the windmill equipped with Bilau's Ventikanten . The wings were covered with aluminum and the angle could be adjusted depending on the wind. The mill in Pulheim-Stommeln is one of the few remaining mills with this technology. The mill went out of service in 1975 and only turned on special occasions until the mid-1990s. After a severe autumn storm (in which two wings were damaged), the mill was renovated - the wings have also been repaired in recent years. The mill is to be made accessible to the public as a visitor and display object.

Hof Schiffer from 1763

In February 2009, the Rhenish Association for Monument Preservation and Landscape Protection, Cologne local group, drew attention to the endangered, plastered half-timbered house on the Kattenberg, which was previously on the city's list of monuments and declared it Monument of the Month in order to work towards its preservation. It was only 1½-story (with knee stick ) but has eight rooms on the ground floor. The vaulted cellar and the rare Cologne ceilings were also special . The house was typical as a house for the former smallholders or cottagers next to the larger estates. The house, including the outbuildings, was demolished in August 2013. Only the gable of a barn was preserved. Here the Gold Kraemer Foundation is building a house for the handicapped to be looked after by it.

Stommeln synagogue

The current building of the Stommel synagogue was erected in 1882, a slightly smaller predecessor building previously stood in the same place. In May 1937, under the pressure of increasing persecution, the Jewish community sold the synagogue building to the neighboring farmer Anton Pütz, who used it as a storage room. The Star of David on the facade was covered with mortar, and the buyer undertook not to use the building as a cattle shed, given its religious past. When SA men wanted to destroy the building with petrol cans on November 10, 1938 , the new owner referred to the fact that the building was no longer a synagogue, but a storage shed (barn) in his possession. The synagogue owes its preservation as a building to this fact - as one of the few synagogues in the Cologne area.

An exhibition by an internationally renowned artist has taken place once a year since 1991. The following artists have already been involved in the past:

Jewish Cemetery

Jewish Cemetery

Near the windmill, on Nagelschmiedstrasse, is the Stommel Jewish cemetery with 25 gravestones. It was devastated during the Nazi era, but has been restored since 1967.

Circle forest

In the forest between Hahnenstrasse and Nettegasse, the artists Holger Hagedorn and Winfried Lucassen set up a land art project. Inspired by Stonehenge , twelve poplar trunks, up to seven meters high, were sunk into the ground upside down. A hawthorn hedge and oak trees have been planted around this circle. There is a geocacher bag with gimmicks and a guest book by the circle .

Culture

The recording studio of the music producer Dieter Dierks , who has already worked with Nektar , the Scorpions , Rory Gallagher and the Toten Hosen , is located in Stommeln .

Film history

In 2001 the film “Heimatfilm!” By Daniel Krauss was shot in Stommeln (actor Hannes Jaenicke among others ). In the film, however, the place is called "Fallen". The film was shot in the center of the village, at the fire station and at the train station.

Economy and Infrastructure

economy

In the early 1960s it was decided not to establish an industrial area in Stommeln, and so there is no commercial industry in Stommeln other than a few farms. Therefore, Stommeln is a popular place to live.

There used to be a brewery in the village on the outskirts towards Pulheim; this has now been converted into an apartment building. There was a grain distillery at the train station . There is now a retail shop in the building.

There is a large outdoor swimming pool in Stommeln that was built in the 1970s.

The Stommeler Hospital was given up in the late 1960s. Today a German-Italian comprehensive school of the Archdiocese of Cologne is located in the building near the train station. In addition, Stommeln has two primary schools.

The landscape around the Stommel region is clearly characterized by agriculture, especially through the cultivation of grain and sugar beet, vegetables and fruit (including strawberries, pumpkins, asparagus) and rapeseed for the production of oils and fuel. As one of the few places in Germany, since 2005 it has even managed to grow olives in Stommeln.

In 2012, Stommeln's 1050th anniversary was celebrated.

traffic

Old freight and loading station

The Stommeln stop is on the Rheydt – Cologne – Ehrenfeld railway line . The RE8 and RB27 stop here in the direction of Mönchengladbach and Koblenz.

The Stommeln freight and loading station was closed at the end of the 1950s. Today there are still some remains of rails and buildings with loading ramps on the site of a hardware store. The old station buildings are currently being privately converted and will serve as a residential building and café in the future. Mainly steel parts that were manufactured in the neighboring town of Pulheim in the former rolling mill were loaded at the freight station.

Stommeln is also on the B59 , which has been used as a bypass road around the town in recent years.

The federal motorways 1 (8 km south), 57 (7 km east) and 61 (15 km west) run near Stommeln .

Disasters

Stommeln was often affected by severe flooding in the early 1900s. The Stommeler Bach still flowed openly through the Stommeler Center until the 1960s and this was therefore often flooded during heavy rainfalls. The strongest flood occurred in the late 1940s; the water was about three feet high in the village green. In the 1960s the Stommeler Bach was completely canalized. In the meantime it has been drained and only carries some rainwater in extreme storms. The canalized streams, the Stommeler Bach and the Pulheimer Bach run underground parallel to the Bruchstrasse and often cause flooding there when it rains heavily. Even today there are many flood protection facilities in the area of ​​the church valley. The bridge under the embankment has an old flood gate and various dikes have been built in the east of Stommeln .

In 1978 a tornado hit the town center of Stommel and damaged over 100 buildings.
