Parish Church of St. Martin

The place Fischenich is a district of Hürth located southwest of Cologne in the Rhein-Erft district . The village is located south of the districts of Hermülheim and Kendenich and borders on its south side with the Weilerhof on the district of Vochem in the neighboring town of Brühl . Fischenich has 5358 inhabitants (December 31, 2016).

Location description

Located on the Villehang , the altitude of the village differs between 80 and 130 m above sea ​​level . The old farms on the spring horizon cultivated their fields in the offshore Cologne Bay . Until now the place is still very rural. Several historical courtyards have been preserved in the village: Immediately to the west of the parish church is a beautiful half-timbered house from the 18th century, which belonged to the Carthusian farm acquired by the Carthusian monastery in 1408 . The neighboring two small half-timbered houses An St. Martin 4 and 6 also formerly belonged to the Carthusian Court . Of the lying below the church former Fronhof that's mansion from 1770 received. In the Middle Ages was Fronhof center of the Cologne convent St. Maria im Kapitol associated feudal courts Association . Smaller Kotten extend up to the Villehöhe.

The farming settlement on the other side of Bonnstrasse was created to keep the large machinery (tractors, trailers, etc.) associated with modern agriculture away from the narrow, winding streets of the town center. Various local streets are reminiscent of Fischenich's past. The "Fronhofstrasse" is reminiscent of the former manor house , which was also the place of jurisdiction for the court . There was also a farmer's bank comparable to the Cologne institution , which is reminiscent of a street name. The street “An der Markthalle” is reminiscent of the Fischenich vegetable auctions that used to take place there.

Population development

The population in Fischenich was, like in the neighboring towns, relatively constant for centuries. With the exception of the burglaries during the plague (1348) and at the beginning of the 17th century, they grew noticeably towards the end of the 19th century. "Rosellen", whose book appeared in 1886, wrote: "... the church village has 293 houses and 1542 residents". In 1898 Fischenich had 1806 inhabitants and for 1930 2362 inhabitants were given. With 4,665 inhabitants in 1960, the number of inhabitants tripled in just a quarter of a century.

history

Road cross from 1789

As in many districts of the city of Hürth, the Romans also left traces in Fischenich. In 1874, during the construction of the railway line to Trier "an der Vierzig", which still runs through the village, a Roman stone coffin , a lead coffin and two coffin coffins, various ash jugs, tear flasks , keys and rings were recovered. The stone coffin was later placed in the gardens of the former Kaiserbahnhof in the Kierberg district of Brühl . Remnants of buildings from the vicinity of these graves could have belonged to the associated villa rustica . In the area of ​​today's Fischenich, ruins were observed in the 19th century, which indicate the existence of further villas. One of them was at the Fischenich church, an associated burial ground was excavated in 1983 near Fischenich Castle. In 2011, near a site of Roman bricks and masonry already described by Rosellen, some grave goods from the 3rd to 4th centuries came to light on Platzstrasse. According to a mapping of the Roman sites in the small area, the villas in the Fischenich and Kendenich area were between 300 and 800 m apart. Accordingly, the manors in this area cultivated areas of around 50 to 100 hectares of land.

Fischenich is mentioned for the first time in 696 in a document with which Pippin the Middle and his wife Plektrudis donated lands in Efferen , Stotzheim and Pisceniacum to the St. Maria im Kapitol in Cologne, which they founded . In another document from Archbishop Philipp I von Heinsberg from 1189, an Otto de Viskenich is named as a witness.

A stone slab grave from the early Middle Ages has been found in Burggartenstrasse near Fischenich Castle. Grave goods were not discovered, the type of grave construction in connection with the lack of grave goods allows the dating probably to the late 7th or 8th century.

Origin of name

The first known name of the place is Pesceniacum . The tracing back to the Latin expression piscina (for pond, fish pond) is obvious in view of some fish ponds located in a hollow between Fischenich and Weiler. However, it cannot be reconciled with the fact that these ponds did not yet exist in Roman times, but were probably first created by the Carthusian monks. Another theory for the derivation of the place name is based on the assumption that a piscina limaria , a collecting pond of the Eifel aqueduct , existed at the place . In the derivation of the name Fischenich favored by Robert Wilhelm Rosellen , a local Roman Pescennius is the namesake of the place.

Under Germanic-Franconian influence, the place name changed to Vishkenich , as recorded in 1189. Later the names Vissenich (1351) and Visschenich (1476) are recorded.

Fischenich Castle

Castle ruins, Gennerstraße
Castle ruins, Augustinerstraße

The castle Fischenich , formerly an oval rotunda with four towers, was partly built of cast concrete blocks of the Roman aqueduct. The building was destroyed in the Truchsessian War in 1584 and has been in ruins ever since.

The ruins of the castle from the 12th to 13th centuries are located between the Genner-, Augustiner- and Jakobstraße on the slope in the middle of the village. It is considered to be the oldest surviving remaining castle complex among the numerous fortifications in the foothills between Cologne and Bonn. It is one of the most important examples of high medieval castle construction in the Rhineland .

Coat of arms of the lords of the castle

From the early Middle Ages to the half of the 16th century, the von Fischenichs were one of the strongest knight families in the western foreland of Cologne. The "Lords of Vischenich", who are related to many other noble houses, served the Archbishop of Cologne in the 12th / 13th centuries. Century often as a ministerial .

The individual lines of the sex (e.g. Zündorf, Kreuzberg an der Ahr) led different variants.

Lords of the castle of Fischenich

In the registers of the Cologne historical archive there are some references to the gentlemen von Fischenich. In 1276, "Winrich von Vischenich" was mentioned on the occasion of the wedding of a "Theoderich Raitz". In 1309 knight Contze (Conrad) von Vischenich made Fischenich a fiefdom of the Archbishopric of Cologne . Around 1320 he was in feud with the archbishop ( Heinrich II. Von Virneburg ) over Brühl . In 1339 the knight Wilhelm von Vischenich is mentioned, he owned several houses at the "Ehrenthore zu Cöln".

Around 1460, a "Daem von Vischenich" is mentioned as the lord of the castle, he was also called by Bell, as he was also lord of the Horbell manor . Despite being part of the Duchy of Jülich , the lords of Fischenich Castle were qualified representatives of the Cologne knighthood and as such were entitled to vote in the Electoral Cologne state parliament alongside the cathedral chapter .

An Andreas von Vischennich called Bell was 1496–1501 Drost of the Krickenbeck office in the Duchy of Geldern .

The castle courtyard belonged to Fischenich Castle with free land ownership of 250 acres . There is also evidence that the Knights or Junkers von Fischenich owned several estates from the St. Maria Monastery in the Capitol as early as the 13th century, for which they had to provide three jurors and annually had to pay 17 shillings and 1½ Malter grain to the Frohnhof.

On the north side of the old church, which was demolished in 1890, a crypt is said to have been uncovered under the northern conche known as the "Marienchörchen" , in which the knights of Fischenich were buried in earlier times.

St. Joseph Monastery

Today's castle grounds

In 1906 the Order of the Cellites in Cologne bought the castle grounds in order to set up another branch there. The sisters opened the St. Josefhaus as early as 1907. The facility was used for community care, later as an old people's home, and from 1922 to 1933 it provided rooms to accommodate an elementary school class. From 1943 to 1959, the St. Josefhaus replaced the sisters' mother house in Cologne, which was destroyed in the war . In 1970 the monastery in Fischenich was dissolved and the property there was sold.

Today the castle ruins are almost completely surrounded by a row of houses like a square . The arrangement of the two- to three-storey red brick houses only allows a view of the remains of the Fischenich Castle in two places. A statue of St. Today Joseph with his child stands on a high pillar at the church. The sculpture focuses on the monastery grounds, which were formerly on the slope opposite the church.

Present stock

The castle rest is a ring-shaped complex surrounded by a moat, the surrounding wall of which has been preserved at a height of six to ten meters. The castle wall was at least partially built from cast concrete blocks from the Roman aqueduct that ran nearby at the foot of the promontory. The Roman Canal was a popular quarry in the Middle Ages, the material of which can be found in many old structures along its course. Especially on the north side towards Augustinerstraße, from where the ruin is accessible, the cast concrete blocks made of opus caementitium can be clearly seen, to which the reddish water plaster and a layer of sintered lime adhered to the reddish water plaster used when the water pipe was built .

Court of Glory Fischenich

At the farmer's bench

The places that were subordinate to the "Jülichern", including the glory of Fischenich with an area of ​​690 ha , belonged to the Bergheim office . Administration and administration of justice were subject to the Duchy of Jülich-Berg . The lower jurisdiction , which was made up of the mayor , the clerk and the lay judges , was entrusted with the matters on the spot. In Fischenich there was next to the court court, which met in the front yard of the knight's seat, there was also a farmer's bench. This was a form of court that specifically looked after the concerns of small farmers.

In the NRW state archive, under No. 1096 E for the years 1423–1506, there is evidence of the disputes negotiated at the Fischenich court. In this:

Johann and Sander von EFFERN against Rabot von PLETTENBERG (claim at the FISCHENICH court), 1497;

Fronhof

City info

As a rule, the farm with its lands (fields, vineyards and forests) was leased for a period of a decade . Thereafter, the conditions, such as the period and rent (a mixture of natural goods and money) etc., were renegotiated and defined with the remaining or new tenant.

In 1351 the Fronhof was leased to the squire "Gerhard von Zudendorpe" (probably from Zündof ) for 12 years . He had to provide 137 Malter grain and other additional services a year: At the time of the grape harvest he had to give the servants lodging . As food he had to give them a pig worth 3 shillings, a ram worth 12 denarii and a Malter wheat. He had to pay the “Huisgenossen” ( housemates ) 7½ marks and the forester 4 shillings at Christmas. A bull and a boar were to be provided for the community's cattle breeding. The leaseholder had to serve the sovereign if necessary and to respect all concerns of the abbess .

In 1539 Johann von Beyen leased the farm. He, too, had the lease for 12 years, had to deliver 92 Malter Korn and 26 Malter wheat and also to comply with the above conditions. These modalities changed only slightly in the period that followed.

According to a description from 1695, the Fronhof including the vineyards included 351 ½ acres of land and 8 acres of forest. A sum of 1,225 Reichstalers was paid for a house built in 1769 by the Cologne master builder “Frey” . 33 years later, the Frohnhof , which was secularized in 1802, with 64.5 hectares of land, was auctioned on April 4, 1807 by the French domain administration to the Advocat Général Heinrich Gottfried Wilhelm Daniels for 54,000 francs . The farm remained in his possession until his death in 1827. There followed a change of ownership through marriage and inheritance, the last owner of the farm is according to the records of "Rosellen" s, the von Groote family in Cologne.

In 1951 the parish acquired the property from the heirs of the Max Volkers family and Maria, a née von Groote .

French period

Land map around 1800. Southern local area with fish ponds and Weilerhof

From June 30, 1802, a law came into effect during the French era under which the town of Fischenich, with Weilerhof, located in the canton of Brühl , was subject to the mayor's office ( Maire ) Hürth, based in Hermülheim. The previous jurisdictions of the “Herrlichkeit Fischenich”, those of the “Fronhof” and the “Bauer Bank” were a thing of the past. A single court in Cologne was now responsible for all civil and criminal matters. In the field of schooling, new regulations promoting general schooling were introduced. A changed inheritance law now made it possible to divide up large farms. The elimination of restrictive disposal options for land ownership led to the division of old farms and the emergence of new, smaller farms. As a result, small towns like Fischenich, whose population remained almost constant throughout the Middle Ages , grew.

In 1814, when Blücher moved into the Rhineland, the French occupation there came to an end with the looting of the withdrawing soldiers. However, new horrors came over the residents of the community. The Cossacks advancing in the wake of the Prussians destroyed the remaining vineyards (often also called Wingert , today still a street name in Alt-Hürth) of the localities (older Fischenicher report that today's street was called "An Kirchberg", "Weingartenstraße") the neighboring town of Kendenich, with its larger vineyards, was hardest hit.

Weilerhof

Access to the avenue Weilerhof

Right on the city limits of Brühl- Vochem in the south of the village is the Weilerhof , which was tax-free until secularization and which came to the Hürth mayor's office in 1802 with Fischenich.

According to documented finds , the grounds of the farm are said to have been inhabited as early as Roman times. In addition to a number of smaller homesteads (probably managed by Halfen ), the manor of the landowner "Godescalcus de Wilre" is said to have stood here as early as the beginning of the 14th century.

At this time (from 1300) the Carthusians in Cologne gradually acquired large estates and wooded areas in the vicinity of the hamlet . It is reported that the courtyard, which was also owned by the monks in 1407/08 at the latest, was destroyed several times, but rebuilt again and again. The last time it was reported was a destruction by Truchsessian troops in May 1586 , to which the Fischenich castle fell victim two years earlier. In 1587 the Weilerhof was rebuilt for 4,298 marks.

An approximately 5 meter high crossroads at the Weilerhof dates from around 1730 . The valuable cross stands under a group of old linden trees on the south side of today's courtyard. The cross is harmoniously divided into three areas:

The cross beam with the corpus of the crucified Christ fastened by iron nails , the middle section with an exposure niche, sumptuously finished with a stepped cornice , and the plinth, which stands on a widened base and is decorated with lateral volutes . This bears an inscription on its front , which is crowned by the insignia of the Carthusians.

Shortly before secularization, the Carthusians cultivated 284 acres of arable land from there and, in addition to the forest belonging to the farm, 12 acres of vegetable gardens.

The new landlord of the court also took part in the exploitation of lignite on the foothills . The small hamlet was consolidated with the Wilhelmsglück field in 1859 by court lord Friedrich Wilhelm Bendleb , but in 1884 Emil Sauer bought it along with other surrounding fields and merged it into the Rhineland trade union (later Ribbertwerke ). In 1914 the fields were finally acquired by the Hürtherberg union and charred.

The square yard that exists today dates from 1911. The yard was taken over at the beginning of the 20th century by the current owner's family, who apart from farming, ran a small horse breeding farm there. After a large part of the economic buildings were no longer needed due to the use of modern machines, a small brewery was set up there in 1961 . In 1986 the Kölsch brewery was one of the first to sign the Kölsch Convention , which regulates bindingly which beer may be called Kölsch. The Weilerhof thus houses one of the smallest Kölsch breweries. In 2001, the "Bischoff private brewery" started brewing again after renovation. In addition to the Bishop Kölsch , the Karthäuserbräu, a top-fermented yeast-cloudy full beer, is also brewed .

The property, which is largely surrounded by a wall and fences, is not open to the public. In 1896 the neo-Gothic mansion was built from field fire bricks on the hillside of the Ville and received a lot of attention at the time. Located in a park with partly quite old trees, it gives the impression of a small castle with its towers and battlements . The manorial house and the buildings of the Weilerhof are accessed from Bonnstrasse, which is at the foot of the slope, through a narrow, densely lined avenue. As was the case shortly after the end of the war in 1945, when the property was leased to Cologne-based Caritas for several years by the owner at the time (they used it as a nursing home), the facility is still leased today.

The most Weilersbach past fish ponds were first created by the Carthusians. The valley of the largely natural stream is designated as a landscape protection area. As part of the Regio Grün der Regionale 2010 project , the valley was sown with a mixture of meadows and arable herbs as part of the green corridor south-west to the Villeseen with the support of the Lower Landscape Authority of the Rhein-Erft district via the Bonn Biological Station and the city of Hürth and should be used extensively as open grassland. The grassland is mowed and used as green sillage or hay. A 2.7 km long circular hiking trail around the Weilerhof is to be designated in 2013.

Parish of Fischenich

Parish Martinushaus and church

"Rosellen", which described the previous building of today's St. Martin Church in the last third of the 19th century, came up with some details about the church history of the place. Rosellen's remarks make it clear that the origin of today's church was a small chapel , which was built in the Merovingian or Carolingian times near the Fischenicher Fronhof on the land owned by the Cologne monastery of St. Maria in the Capitol.

The fact that the Christian community of Fischenichs originally belonged to the parish of Efferen is also evident from the location of the church grounds. The terrain, which is still occupied today by the church , pastorate and other church institutions, together with an adjoining cemetery that still surrounds the church in 1840 , is verifiably the former property of the Cologne monastery of St. Maria im Capitol . The site, which was formerly surrounded by vineyards at a medium altitude, is located south of the castle ruins on a level plateau of the slope , which drops steeply all around, except for the further rising west side.

The hail procession on Whit Monday , which has been attested since 1736, is unique in the region.It starts at the parish church through the fields of the district and ends with a praying service for good harvests and protection from storms in one of the larger farms. Another church custom in Fischenich is ratcheting during Holy Week , which was probably brought by Pastor Reiner Wimmer (1907–1923 in Fischenich) from the Eifel region. Otherwise it is only common in rural areas.

Parish Church of St. Martin

The patronage of the church, Martin of Tours , was widespread in the time of the Franks . It speaks for the age of the church location.

Further development

Fischenicher Hof, oldest inn in town (1856)
Construction of bygone times, so-called "Kotten"

The 19th century, with the “Prussian Era” following the withdrawal of the French, was peaceful but laborious in the villages of the municipality. The residents of the village were mostly self- sufficient , only a "grocer" in the village offered spices that could not be grown themselves. Procuring special goods in the city or visiting the authorities had to be done on foot. Only wealthy citizens could afford a horse or even a carriage . The same applied to the numerous small farms that arose from the changed inheritance law. The cultivation of their small pieces of land was not enough for a living, so that they hired themselves as day laborers while their wives and children did their own field work. Excess income was brought to the weekly market in Cologne with the handcart or with the full basket on the head in order to generate additional income. As everywhere in agriculture, a 12 to 14 hour day was normal in Fischenich and also applied to women and children. So the school hours were adapted to the seasons of the duck and the work in the beet fields. The only highlights in the life of the villagers, besides going to church on Sundays, were the annual village festivals. These included the May Festival in Fischenich with the erection of a maypole , the festivities of the fair and the festivities of the rifle brotherhoods and men's choirs , this one in Fischenich1863. The carnival days in spring, as well as the harvest festival in autumn, were reasons for exuberance and dancing. Today's “Fischenicher Hof”, formerly the “Hülsenbusch” inn with its ballroom built in 1856, also served this purpose.

War memorial on Rosellenplatz

A patriotic event occurred when a young villager was called to the "flag". For those who did not return from the wars of 1870/71 and the World War of 1914/18, a memorial was erected in the villages, as well as in Fischenich, on which wreaths were laid. Thus, in the Weimar period of Memorial Day raised to the holiday. At the end of the 1920s, the flag consecration was held on the square at the monument. The war memorial on Rosellenplatz with its 7.5 m high obelisk crowned by an eagle was erected in 1911. It stood on the south-west side of the square without the projecting side parts that were later added. It was made in the "Blondiau" workshop in Brühl.

Since there was a lack of sufficient labor in the last quarter of the 19th century due to the emergence of industrialization, Fischenich also experienced an influx of “foreign workers” who settled in the Rhineland from East Prussia , Poland and Russia .

Fischenich's small, winding streets, which were often made up of so-called Kotten, subsequently continued up the slope of the village. These small single-storey houses, whose half-timbered houses were originally filled with a mixture of clay and straw , are still numerous in the town today.

Preserved old building "An der Markthalle"

Not only the place had grown over time, but also its surroundings, especially the nearby city of Cologne with its demand for fresh fruit and vegetables. The place developed into a transshipment point for agricultural products from the entire foothills. Between the two world wars, cooperatives for collecting agricultural products were formed in rural regions close to the city. For the foothills, it was the fruit and vegetable sales cooperative that was founded in Fischenich in 1928. The founders received material support from the Cologne district administration at the time , which leased a suitable, large area and structures. The aim of the cooperative was to relocate the sale of its products from Cologne to the production area. It induced the farmers to refrain from selling directly on the Cologne markets and to choose the more convenient indirect route of sales to the end consumer through the cooperative . On a site totaling 2.5 hectares, three large halls (totaling 5000 m²) were built next to the administration building according to plans by the official builder Albert Lüttgenau , in which the products of the members were presented. From January 1972 the Fischenich and Roisdorf cooperatives merged to form the largest company of this type at the time. The Fischenich site was given up.

The stretch of road on which the elongated halls were, is now with homes passed in townhouse construction, and bears the name "At the Market". The building in which the auctioneers of the former agricultural auction sat is still standing today.

Consequences of National Socialism

Around 1825 there were 16 people of the Jewish faith in the village . The establishment of a prayer house or a corresponding burial site in the village itself was not reported subsequently. Such facilities, such as a small prayer house and a small Jewish cemetery on what is now Marienbornweg in (Alt) -Hürth, were probably used. Official records of the mayor's office in Hürth give a total of 92 registered persons of Jewish faith for the year 1847. From then on, the number decreased by moving to the cities. With the former mayor of Efferen there were 91 in 1933. The Ernst Levi family from Fischenich managed to escape to the USA. In July 1940 there were eleven people in Hürth. The post-war surveys showed that only 5 people lived in the entire community.

The popular mayor Werner Disse , who had to vacate his office in 1933, was followed by Heinrich Goß until 1944 . At that time Fischenich no longer had any elected local representatives; a national comrade appointed by the NSDAP party now took over this function.

Ordinance No. 21, Article I, amending the German municipal code in the British control area responsible for the municipality of Hürth , suspended the German municipal code introduced by the National Socialists on January 30, 1935 (RGB. LS 49ff).

A table with the population figures of the places quantifies the information for Fischenich as follows (excerpt):

  • 1933 = 3,324 people
  • 1939 = 3,356 people
  • 1941 = no change
  • 1943 = 3,647 people
  • 1946 = 3,697 people.

Since this list did not show any displacements caused by refugees who had moved in, the loss of human life in Fischenich citizens during this time was probably compensated for by new citizens. Material war damage in the area affecting the building was kept within limits. The church was hit in an Allied air raid , damaging its roof and destroying the communion bench . A new school at Gennerstraße 74/76, which taught parallel to the old school (next to the former Nolden restaurant, today's trattoria) at Gemmerstraße 46/48, was destroyed by an aerial mine and not rebuilt. It was not until the currency reform introduced in West Germany in June 1949 that things started to improve again in Fischenich.

Emergence

First school lessons in Fischenich were given by a sexton who had been employed since the end of the 17th century with fixed income (mostly apartment and natural goods) . From 1712 the pastor took on this task for a few years in premises rented for this purpose. In the 1830s the community acquired a house belonging to the teacher "Krupp", which was described as being opposite the beginning of "Jennerstraße zum Platz", and set up a classroom in it . After this hall was considered insufficient, a spacious school building was built in 1864 which, in addition to a teacher's apartment, contained three school classes . The construction costs amounted to 16,080 marks. As early as 1873, due to the increasing number of students, the building was given an extension that was used exclusively as the teacher's apartment. Its previous apartment was converted into space for a fourth school class. The extension cost the community 11,700 marks.

After completion of the extension, the school was divided into a middle and lower class from 1874. There was now a boys 'and girls' school, and a teacher from Brühl was appointed to the latter. She had to give up her position in 1877 because she preferred to find her happiness in marriage. Her successor, Christina Nießen, received her first teaching position in Hürth in 1885 . In 1886, when the number of schoolchildren was 386, it was divided again, two classes each for boys and girls.

today

The Martinusschule is a Catholic elementary school in the Fischenich district of the city of Hürth. It has been named after the patron saint of the Catholic Church since April 2007. It is an open all-day school .

Fischenich village community

The village community in Fischenich from 1934 was the first of its kind “in closer and wider surroundings”. The chairman was the district chairman and head of the Rheinperle theater company , Georg Hammermann, who remained so until the end of the war or until the end of activities towards the end of the war. It was not until 1954 that the village community was activated again with a new statute.
