history

The district was named after Gut Heiderhof , which was first mentioned in 1362 as "Hof Zer Heide". At the beginning of the 1960s it became clear that Bonn was to remain the “ provisional ” federal capital for a long time . As a result, efforts were made to combat the prevailing housing shortage in Bonn and Bad Godesberg by building several satellite towns . In 1964 the groundbreaking ceremony for the Heiderhof estate took place, and in 1965 the first residents moved in. In contrast to Neu- Tannenbusch , the Heiderhof was planned as a demonstrative building project by the federal government, primarily for federal employees, and also for those who had been displaced from renovation work from Alt-Godesberg . Accordingly, the Heiderhof is considered a good residential area despite its rather simple architecture with some high-rise buildings. Many of the original residents still live there today. Since 1970 the average age has risen from a little over 30 years back then to almost 50 years today. Today around 5,000 people live on the Heiderhof.

Local transport

The connection to the local public transport system (ÖPNV) in Bonn is provided by the lines 613 and 611, both of which run every 20 minutes Monday to Friday, every 30 minutes in the evenings and on weekends and together offer a frequent frequency. The lines offer transfer options to the trams 16 and 63 at the Bad Godesberger Stadthalle, as well as to the Deutsche Bahn and trans regio trains at the Bonn-Bad Godesberg train station . Both lines go to Bonn-Zentrum and connect the Heiderhof with Plittersdorf , the Rheinaue and the federal district . At night, the N10 ensures hourly trips.
