The Abbey Altenberg bought in the 12th and 13th centuries the country in Blee, the Knights of Sibodo of Blee (de Sibodonius sheets) and his wife Petronilla was supported. In 1246 a daughter church of the Monheimer St. Gereon Church in Blee became known. A ferry has operated across the Rhine since 1399.
