Badorf , with the smaller districts of Eckdorf and Geildorf, is the southernmost district of the city of Brühl in the Rhein-Erft district in North Rhine-Westphalia .

Location and geography

Badorf lies at the bottom of a Riedel of Ville -Hangs, the small by two streams, the Pingsdorfer stream and Eckdorfer or Lenterbach is formed. This slope, the foothills , is dry in contrast to the former swampy lowland (Brühl) near the Rhine in the Cologne Bay and, thanks to a thick layer of loess , which the prevailing westerly winds deposited in the lee of the ridge, it is particularly fertile, so it is ideal for a settlement. The location of Badorf merges seamlessly with that of Pingsdorf to the north ; the neighboring town to the east, the Schwadorf district of Brühl , opposite Geildorf, is separated by the 553 federal motorway and the section of the Vorgebirgsbahn between Cologne and Bonn . The Bornheim district of Walberberg connects to the southeast with the former Dominican monastery of St. Albert . The landscape is characterized by intensive vegetable cultivation and the former lignite mining in the Ville, in the southern part of the Rhenish lignite mining area . The recultivated area with its lakes is covered with forest as it was before.

history

Roman times

On the former “Steinweg” leading to Badorf, which later became Cologne-Bonner Straße, well-preserved parts of the Eifel aqueduct were uncovered alongside remains of Roman walls . A considerable number of Roman bricks were found south of the village, but their number was exceeded above the village. The brick material found under gravel and stone was probably the legacy of a brick factory there from Roman times. A nearby hill bore the name "Kamp" and possibly served as a specula , as they were often built along the Limes .

Early middle ages

Franconian time

Recent findings appear to assume that the exhausted Roman settlers until relatively late, a Frankish followed colonization of Badorfer space. This is concluded from the fact that not only all permanent structures of this time had been destroyed, but also from the complete lack of pre-Franconian land names .

When the Roman rule collapsed, the slope of the foothills is said to have been almost deserted. The Ripuarier kings residing in Cologne deployed "Rodetrupps" in this area, which had become the king's land according to booty law , in order to utilize the areas of dominion that they saw as fallow. Thereby one went over to naming the respective operational areas after the leaders of these teams.

Many of the place names in the Cologne-Bonn area formed with the basic word -dorf find such a plausible explanation. In the Schwadorf case, the oldest surviving spelling of the neighboring towns of Badorf was "Suaventhorp", it was the place where a Suabo was deployed, Pingsdorf arose from "Pinnesthorp" after Pinno, the short form of Pippin. The oldest known spelling for Badorf was "Baventhorp" and later "Badua". The luge guide employed here was called Bavo, a name popular with the Franks. ( St. Baaf is still the patron saint of the cathedral in Ghent today ).

Badorf ceramics

Ceramics production at this location and in the immediate vicinity (Pingsdorf) can be traced back to the 7th and 8th centuries . Medieval production was of supraregional importance. Badorf goods are widespread in the Rhineland , Westphalia and the Netherlands , but also as far as England , in the Danube and Alpine regions and in Scandinavia . Characteristic are pots, bowls and relief ribbon amphoras , large storage vessels with applied clay strips. Badorf products often have a roller stamp decoration.

High Middle Ages

Manorial rule of the Abbey of St. Pantaleon in Cologne

Saint Pantaleon

According to ancient monastic tradition which has Cologne Abbey the manorial Badorf of its founder Archbishop Brun obtained (Bruno) of Cologne. The Benedictine Heinrich Spichernagel († 1641), abbot and chronicler of St. Pantaleon wrote that Badorf was given to the abbey when it was founded. However , this cannot be found in the document in which Brun 964 furnished his foundation with goods, as Badorf is said not to have been named in it. Only the one year later, 965, authored Testament Brunswick, where the Archbishop of St. Pantaleon gave more goods, also cited the possession Badorf. The original of the document has been lost, but three copies were made, of which the "Wolffenbütteler Handschrift", which was put in print by the historian Georg Heinrich Pertz , contained relevant information. In this manuscript, Pertz recognized the designation “hauingan”, but noted in the footnote that “bauingan” was Badorf's name in the Brussels manuscripts.

According to Brun's will, the Archbishop bequeathed manors to the Abbey of St. Pantaleon, which he had acquired, including the Bavingan farm ("villam Bauingan"). In favor of Bauingan / Badorf, Badorf belonged to the table goods of St. Pantaleon, so it must have belonged to the initial furnishing of the monastery.

Etymologically , the words Bauingan / Bavingan and Baventhorp are equivalent. Baventhorp is the settlement founded by Bavo, Bavingan the settlement in which his clan, the "Bavinge", lived.

In 1124 the village was first mentioned as Bavendorph in a document from Archbishop of Cologne Friedrich I von Schwarzenburg about a forest of the Cologne monastery of St. Pantaleon together with Pingsdorf .

In connection with the events of 1242, a fight is said to have taken place near “Badua” (Badorf), in which Archbishop Konrad of Cologne was captured by Count Wilhelm von Jülich .

Modern times

Around the middle of the 15th century, the St. Pantaleon Abbey built a chapel consecrated to the "stb Mariae Virginis" next to its Badorfer Hof, the abbey's table goods, which they had completely renovated in 1614. However, this second building was destroyed by fire in 1633. Also on behalf of the abbey, a new chapel was built around 1725, now at a different location, which is described as follows.

chapel

The chapel was an unadorned brick building covered by a slated mansard roof. Its dimensions were given with a length of 13.15 m and a width of 6.30 m. Towards the west gable, a small bell tower with a baroque hood rose above the roof . The chapel had arched windows and the rectangular door was bordered by stone. The interior of the chapel was a flat-roofed hall , which ended with an octagonal choir .

Furnishing

The choir of the chapel was equipped with a high altar , which was adorned by a wooden group of St. Anne herself in the 17th century. The chapel also contained a triptych made of wood, 0.85 m high and 1.25 m wide. It had the adoration of the three wise men as a motif in the middle picture . According to “Clemen”, it is said to have been the mediocre work of an Italian Dutchman from the 1st half of the 16th century, which was also badly damaged.

Self-reliance

The type of construction and the available dimensions of the chapel, its equipment with a high altar and, last but not least, the church rights granted to it, allow the conclusion that, despite the likely low population of Badorf, all the sacrament celebrations took place in this small church .

Church records

The center of the early Badorf parish was initially the town's chapel, consecrated to the Virgin Mary (beatae mariae Virginis). At a later time, possibly because of her furnishings (Anna selbdritt), she was likely to have received the patronage of St. Anne . According to the preserved church records in the civil status archive in Brühl and in the archives of the Archdiocese of Cologne (HAEK), the chapel had baptismal rights since 1625 . Marriages are also recorded in these books from 1626 onwards, whereas the burial right apparently already existed in 1611. However, only a few names have come down to us from these earliest documents. The church registers stored in the HAEK are incomplete for the years 1660–1703 and then continuously available from 1780 (as in the PSA Brühl).

19th and 20th centuries

secularization

With the occupation of the Rhineland by the French and the reform of the administration and the courts carried out in 1798, the manorial rule of the Abbey in Badorf ended. When the areas on the left bank of the Rhine were divided into departments and cantons, Badorf and Eckdorf, with around 700 inhabitants, belonged to the canton of Brühl . In connection with the abolition of the monasteries and monasteries in 1802, the secularization of their property took place, which was auctioned off in the following years. The "Abtsthof" of St. Pantaleon in Badorf, the Geildorfer Pantaleonshof and the Geildorfer Severinshof were sold in 1807.

Church institutions

Parish Church of St. Pantaleon

The Catholic Church of St. Pantaleon was built in 1897 in neo -Gothic style by the Cologne architect Heinrich Krings . The " Dom des Vorgebirge " stands out simply because of its outstanding location in the truest sense of the word on a hilltop of the foothills .

A tower monstrance made in 1888 by the goldsmith Franz Wilhelm van den Wyenbergh belongs to her church treasure . The stained glass windows with scenes from the life of the patron saint were created by the Cologne professor of stained glass Paul Weigmann after the destruction of the Second World War .

In the tower hang five chilled iron bells, which were cast by the bell foundry JF Weule in Bockenem 1923–1925. They sound in the striking notes D flat 1 , F sharp 1 , a 1 , b 1 and c 2 . After nearly 50 years, is again in the parish church gebeiert . This is done using a semi-automatic beer system set up by Willi Breidenbach and Hubert Willems. The planning and execution of the electrical system was done by Hans Klein and Herbert Moritz.

The Badorf vicarage was built in 1593 and changed in the Baroque period.

Birkhof Chapel

According to legend, a place forester on a hornbeam , a Madonna image . He picked it up and took it home, but the next morning it was gone. He found it in the same place as the day before. After this process had been repeated three times, he asked the pastor to build a chapel at this point . Since then the parcel in question has been named Am Muttergottes-Bildchen .

The Birkhof Chapel was built together with the Birkhof in 1862. The legendary image of Our Lady was brought to the chapel, which has been popularly called Modderjoddeskapellche ever since .

In 1912 the old chapel had to give way to open-cast lignite mining in the Berggeist and Lucretia pits . The present building was erected in its place. The image of the Virgin , which was also installed in the new chapel, first above the altar and then above the portal , was stolen by strangers and was never found again. The mother of God from Birkhof , the painful mother, came from the sculptor of the Wiedenbrück school Wilhelm Tophinke (1892–1961).

From lignite mining to the Rhineland Nature Park

Badorf has a share in the Villeseenplatte of the Rhineland Nature Park , which was created through the mining of lignite , which had its southern border in Eckdorf / Walberberg. The Phantasialand amusement park, which opened in 1967 on the western edge of the village , was also created on recultivated mining land around a residual open pit lake . The Berggeist mine with an operating license from 1858 was the southernmost lignite mine. It last took over Badorfer Braunkohlen-Brikettwerke Lukretia GmbH in 1913/14 in order to be able to supply the fuel for the Brühl sugar factory and the Berggeist power station, the cradle of the Rhenish lignite flow. The Berggeistsee and the Berggeiststrasse, on which the amusement park is located, bear witness to this . Between 1907 and 1964 the pits were connected to the state railway in Vochem (transfer station) by the Pingsdorfer Güterbahn from Eckdorf. Before industrialization, the handicraft was done by small farmers on their own land or on that of large estates. It began on the slopes of the valley where the brown coal had been cut by the streams.

The many small pits around Badorf and Eckdorf that were created in this way were combined in larger concessions after 1815, for example the Colonia in the south of Badorf . Coloniastraße is the continuation of Berggeiststraße. For 1825, 28 individual concessions were counted for the Badorf area. The clays in the lying area of the lignite store were the basis for the pottery. They came to light on the lower slopes of the valley and were therefore used in earlier times.

Today's Birkhof with its restaurant and the riding and driving club, which also offers therapeutic riding for everyone, can be viewed as an entrance gate for tours into the nature park.

Today's townscape

Anna Chapel

With the general increase in population, the Badorf residents used their large parish church (completed in 1897 and consecrated in 1904) in addition to their chapel, as well as the St. Pantaleon church in the neighboring village of Pingsdorf , which was built in the middle of the 18th century by the electoral builder Gerhard Cadusch . The current construction of today's renovated Anna Chapel dates from the 18th century. The chapel was used as a kindergarten for a long time, probably under the direction of a sister Blanda, and then as the workshop of the restorer Gangolf Minn. This was followed by slow decline, which was stopped thanks to the commitment of a former council member of the city of Brühl (H. Szymanski). The chapel has been restored and is now a gem of the community.

St. Pantaleon Fountain

A village fountain was created on the fairground under the direction of the Brühl restorer and church painter Gangolf Minn. This fountain was built in a construction period of one year by the well builders Willi Breidenbach, Peter Szarata and Hubert Willems with the image of the patron saint of the parish of St. Pantaleon. It was completed in 2001, blessed by the Catholic parish under Pastor Sebastian and Deacon Michael Ries and handed over to the Badorf-Eckdorf community.

school

Badorf received its first school in 1825. It was set up in two classes at the Badorf Chapel in the rooms of the host Peter Sengersdorf. In order to be able to guarantee lessons for soon 300 children, a new building was built in 1832 at the current location of the school.

In 1874 the school consisted of four classes after several extensions. In 1878 a second school building was built. This development also reflects the population growth spurred on by the beginning of the lignite industry.

In 1968, when the Catholic elementary school Badorf was dissolved, it was divided into a primary school and a secondary school .

By merging the Badorf Primary School with the Schwadorf Primary School , the Catholic Primary School Brühl-Badorf was created in 1971 . In 1972 the Catholic Primary School was converted into a community primary school .

In 1995 the old school building was given an additional floor as an administrative wing. In 2002 the administration moved to the former caretaker's house and the MiKids midday care moved to the top floor of the old school building.
