In terms of natural space , it can be assigned to the Pleiser hill country rising towards the south . To the northeast, the village drops to the valley of the Pleisbach , to which the Lauterbach , which crosses Birlinghoven, flows below it .

The federal freeway 3 runs bundled with the high-speed line Cologne – Rhine / Main east of the place. The nearest towns are Schmerbroich (town of Sankt Augustin) in the north, Dambroich (town of Hennef ) on the other side of the motorway in the east and Rauschendorf (town of Königswinter ) in the south, just under 500 m away . The entire area to the west of the town is taken up by the Birlinghovener Forest , which rises continuously up to the city limits of Bonn ( Beuel district ).
history
On the area of today's Birlinghoven, migration movements took place as early as the early Stone Age , which is indicated by archaeological finds in the area of Birlinghoven. Presumably the Neanderthals at least came into contact with the area. When a water reservoir was being built on the grounds of Birlinghoven Castle at the beginning of the 20th century, a grave from around 500 BC was found. BC, which contained well-preserved bronze and amber jewelry. Usually around this time the dead were cremated and the remains buried in an urn , while the presumably female Birlinghoven corpse was apparently buried intact. The grave goods are exhibited today in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum in Bonn.
The presence of the Celts in the Siegtal is evidenced by names such as Sigena (Sieg) or Pleyse ( Pleisbach ) and place names with the endings lar and mar , as they still exist today. Therefore, Birlinghoven could also have been inhabited by the Celts. Only after the displacement of the Celts by the Germanic tribe of the Franks did real settlement take place in the Siegtal valley. So in the 7th / 8th Century with the so-called "Saxon land acquisition" also Birlinghoven. The word ending hoven , which is widespread in the area, means “ yard ” and goes back to “(horse) hoof”. It marked the size of a farm with an arable area for a horse (40-60 morning ). There was also such a farm in Birlinghoven, around which several farmers gradually settled. Here it was the Berteling court.
The courtyard, which has meanwhile grown into a locality, is first documented in 1117 as "Bertelinghoven". The name can be translated as "as at the Bertelo courtyards". Archbishop Friedrich I then handed over the fiefs in Weldenesberg, Rauschendorf and Bertelinghoven to Siegburg Abbey . From now on these places formed a coherent complex with Birlinghoven as the center. Since the end of the 14th century, Birlinghoven Castle has been owned by the Merode zu Rode family . She came to several other families by marriage. In 1858 it was a manor and consisted of a castle, a mill, a fishery and a hunt. The tithe in Birlinghoven was raised in 1408 by the provost of St. Cassius in Bonn . From the year 1555 Birlinghoven formed an honor of the parish Stieldorf in the Bergisch office of Blankenberg . The Merten monastery had a courtyard there. The main line of business for the residents of Birlinghoven was flax farming and linen weaving. Birlinghoven Castle was probably almost completely destroyed during the French occupation at the beginning of the 19th century.
From 1806 to 1813, Birlinghoven belonged to the canton of Hennef in the Grand Duchy of Berg and was one of the 31 municipalities in the canton.
Since the introduction of the Prussian administration in 1815/1816, Birlinghoven belonged to the Stieldorf community in the Oberpleis mayor's office . The Chapel of St. Mary of the Assumption was consecrated in 1874. On May 1, 1890, the Niederpleis –Oberpleis section of the Bröltalbahn was put into operation, at which Birlinghoven was given a stop. The trade in grain, coal, building materials, etc. carried out over the railway line was mainly carried out by the citizens of Birlinghoven for the entire community. At the turn of the century, the new rail link triggered brisk construction activity; Due to its central location, Birlinghoven gradually developed into the largest town in the Stieldorf community. The Cologne merchant Theodor Damian Rautenstrauch had the Wasserschlösschen built on the site of Birlinghoven Castle from 1903–1905 as a “cavalier house”. Birlinghoven Castle, built between 1901 and 1903, also goes back to Rautenstrauch.
After 1945, the place underwent an extensive and lasting change: If it was previously characterized by a rather rural character, it took part in the urbanization triggered by the election of Bonn as the federal capital . During the municipal reform in North Rhine-Westphalia, the municipality of Stieldorf was dissolved on August 1, 1969 as part of the Bonn Act . Birlinghoven went to the newly founded municipality of Sankt Augustin. As an alternative, incorporation into Koenigswinter was considered, although the majority of the residents of Birlinghoven resisted.
