Beuel (Bad Honnef)

Beuel is a district of the city of Bad Honnef in the Rhein-Sieg district in North Rhine-Westphalia .

geography

Beuel adjoins the city center to the south-east and extends over an area of the middle terrace of the Rhine that rises from south-west to north-east to the Schmelztal , i.e. to the Rheinwesterwälder volcanic ridge ( Niederwesterwald ) . In the south and east, the Ohbach forms a natural border with the Selhof district ; in the west, Beuel is roughly bounded by Linzer Straße. In particular, to the north and west, the Beuel area can only be defined on the basis of historical boundaries, as it is located in the middle of the closed development of the Bad Honnef town center. The district covers altitudes between 80 and 100 m above sea level. NHN . Beuel is crossed in a west-east direction by the main road ( Landesstrasse 144 ), which goes up as a Schmelztalstrasse through the Honnef city forest to Aegidienberg .

history

The place name Beuel ( Bühl ) describes the hill on which the place is located and is therefore also used in the phrase "op" (= on) Beuel. By the 13th century at the latest, a bishop's court of the Archbishop of Cologne was built on the western edge of Beuel , who owned important land and a court in Honnef . Already at that time there was a castle complex adjacent to the bishop's court (instead of the later Sacred Heart Monastery), the construction of which is attributed to a ministerial of the archbishop. Beuel was one of six honors that made up the parish of Honnef from 1555 until the dissolution of the Duchy of Berg in 1806, and from which the community of Honnef then emerged. It bordered in the north on the Bondorf honors , in the south on the Selhof honors and in the west on the Mülheim honors .

In 1663 the Honschaft Beuel had about 325 inhabitants, in a land measure description of the parish Honnef in 1678 67 farms and 120 acres of vineyards. A little less than half of the vineyard area was locally owned and was the third largest among the Honnef honeys, its share of the total agricultural area was the highest at 60%. In 1688 the Carthusian monastery Jülich in Beuel acquired the Steckenhof , from 1696 the Deutz Abbey also had a winery here. The Dauhof , which is located near the parish church and belonged to the Discalceatenkloster Cologne (so-called “Discalced Carmelites”) also belonged to the Honschaft Beuel . In 1746, 49 taxable wineries were visited in Beuel during a so-called “ cellar visitation”, whereby the red wine share of 274 ohms found was 40%. In 1782 an oil mill was built in the area of the Honschaft am Ohbach , which was named Grendelsmühle after a nearby "Grendel" ( turnpike ) at the eastern end of the village . Around 1840 it received a mill pond , from 1851 it served as a rock mill and later as a sawmill .

In 1828 Beuel had 568 and in 1843 already 654 inhabitants. In the five decades after Honnef was elevated to town in 1862, Beuel grew structurally to a large extent with the adjoining former honors, with some villas and country houses being built on the main street in Beuel . Viticulture decreased significantly in importance during this time. By relocating the Ohbach to the north, Beuel lost a smaller area to the Selhof district. In 1918, the Augustinian nuns from Neuss founded the Sacred Heart Monastery in a former inn on Hauptstrasse , which was later run as a retirement home . In 1954 the Dauhof was torn down, followed by the demolition of a baroque successor to the Steckenhof (also called “Neuer Pütz ”) from the 18th century in the 1970s . In 1993 the Sacred Heart Monastery closed, which was operated as a retirement home until 2004 and a new residential area was built on its property by 2012. The area of the former Cologne bishop's court is now used by the Bad Honnef International University .
