Hangelar is a district of the city of Sankt Augustin in the Rhein-Sieg district in North Rhine-Westphalia , between the center of Sankt Augustin and the Bonn district of Beuel . Wilfried Schwab has been the head of the district since 2016 as the successor to Christiane Heilen, who held the office from 2014. Hangelar's main street is Kölnstraße, from which all other important streets branch off. The Hangelar airfield is one of the oldest airfields in Germany and was used as a military airfield in both world wars. To the north of the airfield is the Hangelarer Heide nature reserve .
Hangelar is best known as the main location of the federal police and the anti-terrorism special unit GSG 9 of the federal police , which was established there due to its proximity to the former seat of government. The district also has the largest glider airfield in the region.
geography
Hangelar is located in the south-east of the Cologne Bay , within which it can naturally be assigned to the Menden-Hangelarer Terraces , whereby the village itself is somewhat elevated on the middle terrace formed by a drifting sand cover . This represents the transition to the Pleiser Hügelland , which extends to the south , on the slopes of which the Niederberg district, which belongs to Hangelar, at altitudes up to a good 105 m above sea level. NHN is enough - the boundaries of today's city district up to a good 150 m above sea level. NHN . At the upper end of Niederberg lies the Grossenbusch estate on the edge of a forest area .
history
14th - 19th century
The name Hangelar appears for the first time in 1314 in a Schwarzrheindorfer document, when a Johannes de Hangelare and other Schwarzrheindorfer residents negotiated the free river Rhine with the boatmen in Bonn and Beuel . In 1327 he and his son Winrich de Hangelar were named as landowners in this area.
In 1555 Hangelar Honschaft was in the unified parishes of Menden and Niederpleis in the Bergisch Amt of Blankenberg . Around the middle of the 17th century, the Bergische property tax list listed 296 acres of land in Hangelar.
In 1685 the abbey of Siegburg denied the abbess von Vilich the right to hunt, especially in Hangelar. This now invoked a wisdom (a kind of village legal statute) that proved that she actually had the hunting and fishing rights in Hangelar. This wisdom has passed down some field names such as B. Schleuterbach, Wolfsbach or the Kratenpohl, but ultimately doesn't say much about Hangelar at that time.
There is a map that was drawn before 1689 and that shows Hangelar: On the Bonn – Siegburg road (now Kölnstrasse) there are 13 or 14 houses behind which there are orchards. The penultimate building appears to be larger, so this must be a larger courtyard. A chapel is not listed. Hangelar was exactly between Siegburg and Bonn, between the forks Siegburg-Mülldorf / Niederpleis and Bonn / Meindorf / Vilich-Müldorf / Kohlkaul and thus at an important geographical location.
Hangelar belonged secularly to the Bergisch office of Blankenberg, Geistingen court, parish Niederpleis, ecclesiastically to the old mother parish Vilich in the dean's office in Siegburg. Hangelar has had a community as a self-governing body since the 18th century. It is mostly called Honschaft in the Bergisch territory.
Since the abbess von Vilich drew her tithe and the sovereign also, there soon came to be disputes here because the "assessment bases" were a bit confused. This was the reason for a real land consolidation, which took place in 1787.
When the Prussian King formed the Siegkreis in 1820, the Menden mayor's office was composed of eight communities, including the community of Hangelar. The former street village developed into a cluster village. In 1844 the old road from Bonn to Siegburg was expanded into a paved road. The more favorable transport connections of Hangelar soon contributed to the first settlement of industrial companies.
In 1891 Hangelar was connected to the national railway network by the Bröltalbahn . In 1911 the Bonn – Siegburg tram ran for the first time . This created an even more convenient connection with the cities of Bonn and Siegburg.
Grain (rye), barley, wheat, oats, buckwheat, rapeseed, vetch, beans and flax were grown in Hangelar. Rye cultivation clearly predominated. Only in the 20th century did the ratio shift: in addition to rye, there were oats, potatoes and fodder beets.
In the 19th century an economic upturn began. The first industrial enterprises were added to the usual agriculture. A brick and pottery factory, for example, was successful; its representative main building, decorated with terracotta eagles, was demolished in the 1970s in favor of a park (between Waldstrasse and Großenbuschstrasse). From 1924 onwards, Winkler & Dünnebier produced cast parts in a foundry in Hangelar (today only the foundry route indicates this former plant).
In 1898, the first parish church of St. Anna was consecrated at what is now Annastraße at the corner of Franz-Jacobi-Straße, as the chapel from 1791 (previous building from 1743) at what is now Kölnstraße at the corner of Kapellenstraße had become too small. In 1899 Hangelar became a chapel parish within the Catholic parish of Vilich and in 1911 an independent parish .
20th century - today
The neo-Gothic - unusually magnificent for the small village community - building of the parish church of St. Anna was demolished after 1974. A few pieces of equipment from the old church were salvaged and integrated into the new building , consecrated in 1974, between the old church and Kölnstrasse. The art-historical treasures of St. Anne's Church include a late Gothic Anna Selbdritt group from Italy with its neo-Gothic case, a neo-Gothic baptismal font with a brass dome, a neo-Gothic crucifix , the central part of the former high altar adorned with figures, a neo-Gothic one from one Citizen-donated reliquary (relics of St. Anna and Joachim), a mighty wooden cross, formerly set up next to the church, now in the eastern entrance area, with a relief depicting the instruments of Christ's passion and parts of the valuable expressionist glazing. The neo-Gothic entrance portal of the cemetery, which was built at the same time as the St. Anne's Church, was preserved.
Parade ground, airport
At the beginning of the 20th century, a parade ground was created in the Hangelarer Heide, on which parades and military exercises of Prussian troops were held.
The first flight attempts on the Hangelarer Heide were made in 1909, which is often interpreted as the birth of the Hangelar airfield . Fritz Pullig had constructed a glider in the parade hall of his Bonn infantry regiment and made it to the Hangelar Heath in a horse-drawn vehicle. On July 17, 1909, he took this plane into the air for about 40 seconds. Two years later, Bruno Werntgen , who was then just 18, organized the first Hangelar Air Day with a display fly. In 1912, the general parading on the Hangelar parade ground demonstrated his flying machine. The military recognized the importance of aviation and, together with the community of Hangelar Werntgens, supported the establishment of the first Hangelar flying school to train military and civilian flight students.
During the First World War, the airfield was used for military purposes only. The prohibition of the occupying powers after the end of the war to construct aircraft (with engines), since 1920 the German pioneers with the development of the glider avoided.
The most important day in the history of the Hangelar sports airfield was Easter Tuesday 1930: Around 120,000 people witnessed the landing of the Graf Zeppelin airship .
In 1935 the National Socialist Air Corps confiscated the entire property of the Bonn airmen, including their aircraft. That also meant the end of civil aviation in Hangelar by 1951. The airfield, which was completely destroyed in the Second World War, was rebuilt by the Aero Club Siegburg. In the years that followed, the Hangelar Aviation School and the Hangelar Airfield Company were established. The Hangelar airfield is not only one of the oldest airfields in Germany, but also in the world.
Memorial to the Fallen
One of the few older relics in the area of the “Old Niederberg”, west of Konrad-Adenauer-Strasse in the direction of Birlinghoven, is the monument set up in 1938 for the fallen soldiers of the First World War. The monumental figure of an idealized medieval warrior (“Siegfried” or “Roland”) stands on an altar-shaped substructure with a martial inscription, set behind in a semicircle by an avenue-like tree position. The work, carved from Eifler basalt lava, is a creation of the sculptor Adalbert Hertel .
Enclave Bonn
From 1949 to 1955 the municipality also belonged to the Bonn enclave , a special area under the Allied High Commission around the provisional seat of government of the Federal Republic of Germany. Around 1966 the office of the Embassy of the Republic of Honduras in the Federal Republic of Germany had its seat in Hangelar (Niederberg) (→ entry in the embassy list ). On August 1, 1969, Hangelar became part of the newly formed parish (since 1977 town ) of Sankt Augustin .
With Bonn's function as the capital, Hangelar's development accelerated immensely. The Niederberg district, which has been laid out south of Bundesstrasse 56 since the late 1950s (referred to as "Alter Niederberg" after the construction of the southeastern extensions in the 1970s) reflected this development in its residents - numerous merchants lived here (and in some cases still live) Diplomats, ministerial officials and other functionaries of state or state-related institutions.
Federal Border Guard, Federal Police
Since 1951, Hangelar has been home to the Federal Border Police (today "Federal Police"). In the federal police station on the outskirts of Bonn, 2,200 to 2,500 employees work on an area of around 70 hectares (as of 2018). This means that even after the seat of government has been relocated to Berlin, Hangelar is the largest location of the Federal Police in the Federal Republic of Germany.
80s
Kölnstrasse, which has been completely redesigned since October 1987 and since then has been traffic-calmed, invites many Hangelarers to go shopping.
In the center of the village, not far from St. Anna, the Evangelical Christ Church was built in 1983/1984 with two colored glass windows, Noah and Christ windows, by Eugen and Reiner Keller, and the free-standing bell tower a year later. The organ, built by Karl Schuke in 1978 , was moved from the parish hall to the Christ Church.
The airfield is used by business people and politicians alike.
Closing fair of World Youth Day
The closing fair of World Youth Day 2005 was originally supposed to take place on the Hangelarer Heide. Due to strong protests, a lawsuit by environmentalists ( BUND ) against the permit and the cost-intensive disposal of ordnance (contaminated sites from the Second World War ) on the site, the fair was moved to the Marienfeld in Kerpen, approx. 35 km west of Cologne.
