history
In a document from Archbishop Philipp von Heinsberg of Cologne , Heisterbacherrott is mentioned in 1173 as Rhoda .
From 1555 at the latest, Heisterbacherrott was an honor in the Bergisch office of Löwenburg . In the topographical survey of the Rhineland carried out at the beginning of the 19th century , the place name was Heisterbacheroth .
The former municipality of Heisterbacherrott belonged to the Oberkassel mayor . In 1885 the community had an area of 200 ha , of which 159 ha were arable, 6 ha were meadows and 28 ha were forest. Today the area belongs to the city of Königswinter . In 1885 the community consisted of Heisterbacherrott and two other districts: Frohnhof and Scheid . There were 88 residential buildings (including uninhabited) with 91 households in the parish. There lived 446 inhabitants (223 men and 223 women). All citizens were Catholic at the time, the parish had its parish church in Niederdollendorf .
The church in the center of the village is dedicated to St. Jude Thaddäus . The building, built in 1892 from quarry stones from the Stenzelberg , contains relics of the saint and a miraculous image with his depiction.

Culture and sights

In Heisterbacherrott you will find the oldest half-timbered house in the city of Königswinter (Petrusstraße 11) in terms of dating to 1560 .
Heisterbach Monastery
The former Heisterbach monastery is located in the Heisterbach Valley between Oberdollendorf and Heisterbacherrott ( Königswinter urban area ).
House of Silesia
House of Silesia used to be a Cistercian farm yard . The farm on Hauptstrasse was founded in 1978 by the Haus Schlesien e. V. acquired and rebuilt by 1981. Today the former Fronhof houses, among other things, a culture and education center, a museum for Silesian regional studies and a reference library. In front of the main building, a bust created by Arno Breker in 1988 commemorates the Silesian poet Gerhart Hauptmann . A group of trees made up of five plane trees , which are up to 31 meters high and 190 years old at the top, has also been designated as a natural monument .
Nikolauskapelle
Today's Nikolauskapelle was built around 1150 as St. Mark's Chapel in Latit vom Stenzelberg and at that time it should have been part of the Roda-Hof. Later, St. Bernard was the patron saint of the chapel for some time . The chapel was badly damaged in the Thirty Years War and rebuilt in 1676, with the Romanesque cross vault being replaced by a wooden roof. It was then consecrated to St. Nicholas (Nikolaus von Myra is the patron saint of fishermen and traveling traders; the trade route from Kircheib to the fishing village of Niederdollendorf passed the chapel ). At first it was owned by the Schwarzrheindorf convent together with the Fronhof. In the 13th century it went to Heisterbach Abbey and stayed there until secularization in 1803. Afterwards it was administered by the Niederdollendorf parish and, after some repairs and subsequent inauguration, was owned by the Heisterbacherrott Rectorate Parish, which was established at the time . After the parish church of St. Judas Thaddäus was completed in 1892, there were no more services in the Nikolauskapelle, so that it was initially no longer repaired and left to decay. Around 1905, the new owner of the Fronhof began converting the chapel into a family crypt chapel , but this was not completed. It then served the Fronhof as a material store. In the course of a first renovation after this misuse in 1933, today's altar table was created.
The chapel suffered a lot during the Second World War when it was used as a storage room for artificial fertilizers. From 1973 to 1976, the masonry was renovated, including in 1973 stained glass windows with local motifs based on designs by the Leverkusen glass painter Paul Weigmann were installed inside , and in 1974 a road cross on the west side that was previously on the enclosure wall of House Silesia (built in 1663) were set up. The chapel was most recently endangered by rising damp. After preparatory work from 2000 on, a comprehensive restoration of the Nikolauskapelle began in December 2006 with financial support from the German Foundation for Monument Protection ; the interior renovation was completed by April 2008, the overall measure in the following year and sealed with the ceremonial consecration on September 20, 2009. In the niche let in above the entrance on the north side, there has been a statuette of St. Nicholas with a bishop's staff and miter by the local sculptor Sigrid Wenzel since 2009 , after the original niche figure is considered lost.
Judas Squidward pilgrimage

The veneration of the apostle Judas Thaddäus in Heisterbacherrott developed since the end of the 19th century. The place had its own pastor for the first time in 1866. A parish church was built in 1890–1892 and consecrated to St. Jude Thaddäus at the request of the founder Theodor Schiffers from Aachen. A picture of the parish patron, today's image of grace , came from the parish of Niederdollendorf in 1895/96 . It shows the saint as a half-length figure with a palm branch in his arm; in front of his chest he holds a medallion with the bust of Jesus. In 1911, Rector Jakob Schmidt acquired a relic of the saint.
Over time, believers began to kneel in front of the picture and seek solace in prayer. Gertrud Finette from Bad Godesberg made a pilgrimage to Heisterbacherrott for the first time in 1921 in gratitude for her recovery after double pneumonia and is considered to be the founder of the pilgrimage. More and more acquaintances joined her on her monthly pilgrimages. Rector Theodor Helten , parish rector from 1931, decisively promoted the pilgrimage. In 1932, in the second week of November, he founded a “Thaddäus Octave ”. Despite difficulties in the time of National Socialism with bans on Corpus Christi processions , the number of pilgrims rose steadily. In addition to Bad Godesberg, regular groups of pilgrims also came from Bonn , Siegburg and Brühl . The Bonn procession comprised 500 to 700, a maximum of 1400 participants; in the 1930s there were usually around 400 pilgrims from Godesberg.
After the Second World War , the pilgrimage continued to grow. Groups now came from all over the Rhineland . In 1977, 25,000 pilgrims were counted in the Festoktav - now at the end of October. In 1964, the Judas Thaddäus chapel attached to the parish church was consecrated, to which the miraculous image and the relic were transferred.
Leddeköpp monument
In front of the Nikolauskapelle is the "Leddeköpp monument" erected in autumn 2000 with a bronze plaque by the artist Sigrid Wenzel . It is intended to commemorate the hard work in the quarries (e.g. in neighboring Weilberg ) up to 1940. Their nickname "Leddeköpp", derived from the leather head and shoulder protection of the stone breakers of that time, is still attached to today's Heisterbach rotters.
