history

Already 5000 years ago people lived in the area of ​​today's Flerzheim. In 31 BC The Romans settled the district. Around the year 20 AD a well-known Roman villa rustica was built in the north of Flerzheim, which was only given up at the beginning of the 5th century. The villa rustica von Rheinbach-Flerzheim had its own water pipe, a forge, a yard scale and several wells. For the comfort of the residents, a bathroom was added to the main building at the end of the 2nd century AD. A tombstone fragment was built into this bathing building, the inscription of which can possibly be connected to the Secundinii family. The villa rustica was completely excavated between 1980 and 1986. Two grave fields with very rich additions such as gold jewelry, splendid glasses, amber and gagat objects were excavated in 1982 and 1985. They date from the end of the 2nd century to the 70s of the 3rd century AD. Today's Flerzheim was founded in 807.

Others

  • The former Flerzheim gravel pit in the north of the village is a 76 hectare nature reserve . Also north of the village, directly on the L 163, is the Erftverband's group sewage treatment plant (GKW) Flerzheim . Waste water that accumulates here is cleaned in three stages (mechanical, biological, chemical) and, after filtering, passed into the Swistbach . In the modern sewage treatment plant , over 4 million m³ of waste water from the city of Meckenheim , parts of the city of Rheinbach and from Adendorf (municipality of Wachtberg ) and other places cleaned. The wastewater treatment is currently designed for approx. 50,000 population equivalents (PE). As a result of restructuring measures by the Erftverband (closure of the Miel sewage treatment plant and construction of a pumping station and a 4.5 kilometer long connection channel to the Flerzheim GKW), the capacity of the Flerzheim plant is to be expanded to 61,000 population equivalents. In addition, the group sewage treatment plant is to be expanded to include a retention soil filter in order to purify the rainwater in the catchment area more effectively. A further upgrading will take place through a future fourth cleaning stage for the elimination of trace substances using a membrane system and activated carbon. These membrane filters have particularly fine pores that only let water through and, together with the activated carbon, filter out anthropogenic trace substances (such as drug residues or microplastic particles from cosmetic products) from the wastewater.
