history

The region of today's city of Bornheim was settled in prehistoric times. To the east of the foothills, a concentration of sites can be seen on the Lossterrassenplatte left bank of the Rhine between the districts of Bornheim and Sechtem. Barrows with grave goods as well as stone tools were found here, which prove a settlement in prehistoric times. An Iron Age homestead was located in the Hersel district.

Furthermore, two refuges were found in the vicinity. These were quite simple ramparts, built by Teutons or Celts to protect their settlers. For example, the Aldeburg in the Walberberg Forest (ring wall), still recognizable in its ground plans, and a section wall on the Stromberg in the south of the Rösberg forest near the Dobschleider Hof.

Bornheim town hall, section of the Roman Eifel aqueduct, translocated from Breitenbenden , construction site L 165 (1979)

The presence of the Romans from 50 BC to 450 AD is also documented by buildings. Remnants of the Roman Canal from the Eifel to Cologne are still present in the Bornheim area or can be opened up as cuts in the terrain. The Roman Villa in Botzdorf was discovered in 2002.

Even then, the promontory served as a fruit and vegetable garden for the Roman settlements of Bonna ( Bonn ) and Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium (Cologne).

Many burial sites and a few place names tell of the conquest and numerous village foundations by the Franks , because Merovingian sites are also spatially related to places with the suffix “home”. Examples for clarification are the names of the places Bornheim, Mehlem, Mülheim (Bonn), Schweinheim, Stockheim, Holzem, Niederbach and Oberbachem, Ließem, Hochheim or Stockem.

The main town Bornheim is documented as "Brunheim" in Bonngau , in the county of Count Ehrenfried , for the first time on August 2, 945. As part of the medieval Heerstraße, today's Königstraße was an important transport route from Bonn to Aachen very early on . It was first mentioned in 1272 as "Connixstroß". The first documented place within the city of Bornheim is the Widdig district, which was first mentioned in 804 as "Wittheich".

In the 10th and 11th centuries, almost all the villages with their landmarks came as endowments to monasteries and free aristocratic monasteries in Bonn ( Cassius pen ) and Cologne (also to the Cologne Cathedral Chapter ).

From the office of the guardian , as administrator of the endowments , the manors grew under the electoral sovereignty of the Electorate of Cologne . Wilhelm Schilling von Buschfeld , Ritter, Herr zu Bornheim, was mentioned in a document between 1173 and 1198 as the first Cologne ministerial from the family of the Lords of Bornheim . His son called himself Ritter Wilhelm von Burnheim . The lords of Bornheim in turn became the founding fathers of various Rhenish aristocratic families, including Landsberg , which is still flourishing today .

Bornheim Castle

Bornheim Castle

In the years between 1728 and 1732 , the Bornheim Palace was built for the barons Waldbott von Bassenheim in the style of a Maison de Plaisance ( pleasure palace ) , presumably according to the plans of Johann Conrad Schlaun , a Baroque architect . Only the outer bailey remained of the previous buildings , nothing of the former gate tower with drawbridge remained. A baroque entrance arch with a stone bridge and a bell tower was built as a replacement. Other remains of the outer bailey, such as the bell tower, fell victim to a major fire on February 4, 1972.

The lords of the castle in the 19th century changed several times. The acquirers were Gerhard Freiherr von Carnap in 1826 , Wenzel Graf von Boos-Waldeck in 1859 and Heinrich Freiherr von Diergardt in 1872. From 1964 to 1974/75 at the latest, the property served as the residence of the Ambassador of Iraq to the Federal Republic of Germany. Bornheim Castle is still owned by the Barons von Diergardt, who leased it to the Teutonic Order , which operates the Bornheim Castle Clinic there.

Incorporations

For the electoral period, when the first local boundaries were formed, the modern city was divided into eight areas for Electoral Cologne office Brühl belonged.

With the entry of the French revolutionary army, the old divisions were abolished. The French promised themselves military and economic advantages from this. Self-government in the villages was prevented and all power was therefore with the French. In 1798, the occupied territories were then divided into administrative zones, as this meant better use of the annexed Rhineland. Due to the new border between the departments of Rhine / Mosel and Roer, starting on the left bank of the Rhine between Hersel and Bonn and from there straight to the west, the splendor of Alfter was cut up with Alfter and Roisdorf. Thus Roisdorf was separated from Alfter and Roisdorf became its own municipality. The Dingstuhl Waldorf was also divided into the communities of Waldorf and Hemmerich-Kardorf. The glory of Bornheim remained and later formed the joint community of Bornheim with the other three communities with the seat of administration in the Bornheim court and office building on Burgstrasse with 3,633 inhabitants in 1740.

Merten, Rösberg, Sechtem and Walberberg were combined to form the Sechtem municipality with 2,880 inhabitants. Hersel, Uedorf, Widdig, Urfeld, Keldenich and Wesseling were combined to form the Hersel municipality with 2,328 inhabitants. These three districts with a total of 8,841 inhabitants belonged to the canton Brühl , in the arrondissement Cologne of the Rur department with a prefecture in Aachen. The three joint municipalities of Hersel, Sechtem and Bornheim were renamed a short time later in the Mairien Hersel, Sechtem and Waldorf.

Old mayor's office
Bornheim town hall

During the 19th century, the Mairie office (from 1816 mayor's office and office from 1928) Waldorf moved several times, because every new mayor wanted the office close by. All eleven mayors had a different seat in their office, so that a new town hall was built in Bornheim in 1883 after there had previously been major discussions about the new location. Ultimately, however, a majority for Bornheim and against the locations Waldorf and Roisdorf prevailed, since Bornheim was already the largest place at that time and was also geographically central within the mayor's office. At that time, the mayor's office in Waldorf was divided into the four communities Bornheim-Brenig, Kardorf-Hemmerich, Roisdorf and Waldorf.

As a result of the global economic crisis in 1929, most cities and municipalities were heavily in debt, such as Bonn, Hersel and Sechtem, because these municipalities had a large number of unemployed due to the decline of their industry. At that time, the Bornheim-Brenig community in the Waldorf district was an exception, where a solid financial policy, relatively low unemployment and large savings resulted in an unbelievable excess of 60,000 Reichsmarks at the time.

Due to a town hall in Merten built in 1927 shortly before the economic crisis and the crisis in most of the factories, the closure of many briquette pits and the problems of Berggeist AG in Brühl, the Sechtem district and all affiliated communities were in such a financial emergency that on May 16, 1931 a personal union with the Waldorf Office was concluded. On June 20, 1931, Waldorf Mayor Ditz also took over the official business of the Sechtem office. As a result, due to a lack of space, a villa next to the town hall was bought and converted for office purposes.

In the third office, too, the time was ripe for a new town hall, although the question was whether it should be built in the main town of Hersel or in the affiliated municipality of Wesseling, which has become more and more important in recent years. The people of Wesseling justified their suggestion by stating that their location had become very important due to the expanded port and the growing industry. In addition, the municipality of Wesseling played its biggest trump card by donating the building site for the new town hall to the Hersel Office, which also decided the question of space.

In the summer of 1932 the rumor spread that the municipalities of Wesseling and Keldenich were to break away from the Hersel office in the Bonn district and be incorporated into the Cologne district. The rumor was confirmed and the citizens of the Hersel Office were presented with a fait accompli by the Prussian state government. The municipalities of Keldenich and Wesseling were separated from the association of the Hersel office on October 1, 1932 and merged with the Berzdorf municipality from the Brühl office to form the new Wesseling office. The greatly reduced Hersel Office thus lacked the town hall, the mayor and the staff. The communities Hersel, Uedorf, Widdig and Urfeld thus came to the Waldorf Office and were also administered from Bornheim.

In addition, the district president dissolved the three registry offices Sechtem, Waldorf and Hersel and founded the new registry office Bornheim. This point in time can be described as the hour of birth of today's city of Bornheim.

On May 7, 1934, at the request of the official members of the Prussian State Ministry, the Waldorf office was renamed “Bornheim Office”. On April 1, 1935, the district president in Cologne approved the merger of the Bornheim and Sechtem offices to form the new Bornheim office. The two offices promised themselves considerable savings and a strengthened position from this. In addition, the Hersel Office was finally attached to the Bornheim Office, so that the following structure emerged on July 1st:

  • Bornheim-Brenig, Kardorf-Hemmerich, Roisdorf and Waldorf were merged to form the new Bornheim community.
  • Hersel, Uedorf, Widdig and Urfeld were merged to form the new, larger municipality of Hersel.
  • Merten, Rösberg, Sechtem and Walberberg were merged to form the new, larger municipality of Sechtem.

These three new communities formed the Bornheim office.

On August 1, 1969, the law on the local reorganization of the Bonn area ( Bonn Law ) created the “new” municipality Bornheim by merging the three municipalities of Bornheim, Hersel (excluding the Urfeld district) and Sechtem, while the office was dissolved Bornheim formed.

Since January 1, 1981, the Bornheim community has also been known as the “City of Bornheim”.

Community development
