Location of the district of Buschdorf in the Bonn district

Buschdorf is a district on the northern outskirts of the federal city of Bonn with around 4500 inhabitants. It belongs to the city ​​district of Bonn .

history

From the second century on, the Romans practiced agriculture in Buschdorf. Later a castle was built to protect the trade route between Bonn and Aachen . The place is first mentioned in a document in 1217. As a result, a small, agricultural village grew, which at the beginning of the 19th century still had less than 100 inhabitants. Since 1816 the municipality of Buschdorf has belonged to the mayor's office Oedekoven (dissolved in 1937 and merged with the Duisdorf office ) in the Bonn district .

With the construction of the Rheinuferbahn in 1906, Buschdorf became an attractive place to live for commuters to Bonn and Cologne . By 1960 the population tripled to around 650. In the 1960s and 1970s, several settlements and an industrial area emerged that allowed Buschdorf to merge with Bonn. On August 1, 1969, the municipality of Buschdorf, which until then belonged to the Duisdorf district in the Bonn district , was incorporated into Bonn and has been part of the Bonn district ever since. The Buschdorf district within the boundaries of the former municipality still exists today.
