Rheinfeld is a district of Dormagen and has around 5300 inhabitants.

Geographical location

The Rheinfeld district borders the Rhine in the east and south-east . In the west is the place Dormagen . The federal highway 9 forms the district boundary . The bed of the Rhine was located here in ancient times and in the early Middle Ages, so that the area of ​​today's Rheinfeld originally lay on the right bank of the Rhine. In the north of Rheinfeld is the Zons fortress . Here, too, the old Rhine bed can still be seen, which is located south of Zons and north of Rheinfeld.

history

middle Ages

The origin of the place goes back to the Rheinfelder Hof. This farm was run by a von Ryn Werden family in the Middle Ages. The castle of Rynwerde and its builder, Knight Andreas von Rynwerde, were first mentioned in a document in 1178. On March 12, 1378, Knight Bruno von Troisdorp sold the Rheinfelder Hof to the Antoniterkloster in Cologne. Following a lease from 1458, Altenberg Abbey also had properties in Rheinfeld. The place was repeatedly hit by floods because of its proximity to the Rhine.

Modern times

In 1794 Rheinfeld was occupied by the French. From 1800 on, Rheinfelder were drafted into French army service. Since the Prussian period (1815) Rheinfeld has belonged to the newly founded mayor's office of Dormagen or to the Dormagen office. In 1855, three families immigrated to Osage County , Missouri, United States. In 1898 the place received a village school. Rheinfeld remained dominated by agriculture and the population hardly grew. When the New Year floods in 1925/26, Rheinfeld was flooded. Most of the residents and the cattle were evacuated to Dormagen. From 1968 the development of a new building area began, which increased the population considerably. Rheinfeld has been part of the (old) town of Dormagen since 1969 and of the (new) town of Dormagen since 1975. After 1990, Rheinfeld experienced another significant expansion through new development, so that the number of inhabitants almost doubled in a few years.
