history

Ancient evidence in Buschhoven is the impressive engineering achievement of the Roman Eifel aqueduct , which, coming across the town center from the nearby Eifel , ran across the Ville to Cologne (approx. 114 km total length), and the Römerstraße , which at Marcomagus from the Römerstraße Trier –Köln branched off to Bonn via Belgica vicus . Furthermore, an iron stele called the Iron Man with a height of about 1.20 m (height from the ground) should be mentioned, probably a historical measuring point of non-Roman origin in the surrounding Kottenforst .

The previous Roman settlement was exactly on a 44 kilometer long, dead straight cult line of the Aufan matrons between the former cult site under the Bonn Minster and the matron shrine on the so-called Görresburg zu Nettersheim in the Eifel , which crosses the Eifel pipeline here.

Bishoveshoven was first mentioned in a document in 796, when Charlemagne gave Buschhoven to Cologne's Archbishop Hildebold .

In the Wasserburg zu Buschhoven, two Reformation writings ( Einfaltigs Bedencken ) were written by Martin Bucer and Philipp Melanchthon for the Archbishop of Cologne , Hermann V. von Wied . The moated castle was destroyed in 1645 during the Thirty Years War .

Buschhoven has been a place of pilgrimage since 1806 with the " Rosa mystica ", a wandering mother of God , and the annual so-called rose festival in June , which relates to this Romanesque wooden figure. The Rosa Mystica came as one of two statues of the Virgin Mary of the Sedes sapientiae type originally from the Premonstratensian monastery Schillingscapellen near Dünstekoven , the north-western neighboring village. Under only partially clarified circumstances, it came to Buschhoven in the course of secularization and the associated dissolution of the monastery and during the rule of the French . The pilgrimage to the Rosa mystica takes place annually during the week-long Maria Rose Festival. To this end, numerous “rose arches” are being erected on the processional routes.

Buschhoven is also located on one of the historic St. James ' Paths, as indicated by the shell on the Reconciliation Church.

The surrounding Kottenforst as part of the Ville or the foothills was a favorite area for par force hunts of the Elector Clemens August I of Bavaria , who not only left a number of architectural monuments in this area. The Siebenschuss stone erected at the forester's house Buschhoven , on the site of a former boundary stone, reminds of the hunts .

A war memorial on the old Poststrasse commemorates those who fell in the campaign of 1870/1871 and the two world wars.

On August 1, 1969, Buschhoven was incorporated into the Swisttal municipality .

Attractions

In addition to fragments of the Eifel aqueduct, there are two churches in the town center, which is characterized by half-timbered buildings. These are the new Catholic parish and pilgrimage church of St. Catherine , located at the historic village pond (the former moat), with the miraculous image of the Blessed Mother as Rosa mystica , the former Catholic Church of St. Catherine and, since 1984, the Protestant Church of Reconciliation with a restored Romantic organ from the year 1851. Beyond the B 56 , which runs along the northern outskirts, there is a chapel. Two arson attacks were carried out on both churches within one week in mid-November 2019.

  • The Lüfthildis stele or the Lüfthildis wayside shrine was created by Martin Thiebes in 2020.
