Frechen is a town in the Rhenish lignite district in the Rhein-Erft district and borders Cologne in North Rhine-Westphalia to the west .
geography
location
The original settlement center of Frechen is an elongated street village on the northeast slope of the Ville on both sides of the Frechener Bach , which formerly rises in Benzelrath and which flowed along the main road and previously seeped into the gravel of the Cologne Bay . Today it is only recognizable as a drain from the sewage treatment plant and now flows into the Cologne Rand Canal . The place used to be divided into an upper village and a lower village down the slope. The border was at the Frechener Burg (Burgstrasse), whose trenches were also fed by the stream. After lignite mining ended and the land was recultivated , Frechen took part in the Rhineland Nature Park , which also included the Königsdorf Forest, which was not affected by mining.

history
Ancient and Middle Ages
Quartz sand was quarried in Frechen as early as late antiquity and was used for glass production.
The place name, in the oral tradition Freichem , can be interpreted as a place with the sloping -heim ending, which is typical for the Franconian conquest . The defining prefix free cannot be interpreted. One possibility is the meaning of Frei (old German fri) as Fried, maybe even in the meaning of enclosed = fenced. The first church in Frechen can be assumed between 726 and 800. A certificate does not exist. In the year 877 the first written mention with the Latinized name Frekena is in a document of Emperor Charles the Bald , at this time the settlement was described as belonging to the Kölngau . On September 9, 941 Archbishop Wichfrid awarded the Cäcilienkloster in Cologne real estate in Frechen (Cäcilienhof, later also called Weierhof). In 955 the Roman Catholic parish church of St. Audomar received relics of St. Audomar .
In the privilege granted by King Otto IV to Archbishop Adolph in 1204, the customs of Frechen, which had been wrongly moved there some time before, were lifted again to the advantage of the Cologne Church. In 1217 Archbishop Engelbert I of Cologne confirmed the transfer of goods to Frechen by Gerberga, the abbess of St. Maria in the Capitol, to the Cistercians in the Kamp monastery . In 1230 the bailiwick of Frechen was given to Count Wilhelm von Jülich as a fief .

Hoist flag

Blazon : "The coat of arms of Frechen shows a black, red armored and tongued Jülich lion in the golden field, holding a brown beard man mug in its paws." |
| Justification for the coat of arms: Frechen was granted the right to use a coat of arms in a certificate from the Prussian State Ministry of August 22, 1928. The design comes from the heraldist Arnold Steiger from Cologne. He took over the coat of arms of the dukes of Jülich , who were the sovereigns for most of the municipality for many centuries. As a special ingredient, he chose the symbol of old Frechen craftsmanship, the Bartmann mug , which he gave the Jülich lion in the paws. |

- As a banner and as a hoisted flag : "The flag of the city of Frechen shows the colors black and gold."
