history
Surname
The place name Hersel was mentioned for the first time in 1136 AD. This emerges from a document (1149), in which it was recorded that in 1136 the then Archbishop of Cologne, Bruno II von Berg (1131–1137), had issued regulations to subordinate a Hersel oratorio (adoration room) to the Cassius monastery in Bonn.
Incorporation
On August 1, 1969, Hersel was incorporated into Bornheim. At the same time, the Urfeld district was reclassified to Wesseling .
Infrastructure
The village is connected to the neighboring cities by the federal motorway 555 and the Rheinuferbahn with the tram line 16 and by the bus lines 604, 817 and 818.

Buildings, public institutions and churches
Catholic parish of St. Aegidius
The Catholic parish of Hersel was founded in 1149. After some destruction of the church, a new church was built in 1744: today's Aegidiussaal (hall church, brick baroque, onion dome). Since 2006 the Aegidiussaal, which served as the parish hall of the parishes until 2005, has been assigned to the Archbishop's Ursuline School. When the church sponsored by Clemens August became too small for the growing community in the 19th century, a larger neo-Gothic church was built in 1899, which was consecrated in 1901. This church is still the parish church of the community today.
The parish belongs to the parish association "An Rhein und Vorgebirge" and has 2924 parishioners. Pastor was Msgr. Anno Burghof for 35 years, until 2013. A street in Hersel is named after him.
Evangelical parish of Hersel
In addition to Hersel, the Protestant parish of Hersel also includes the towns of Widdig , Uedorf , Sechtem and Bonn- Buschdorf . Within the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland, it belongs to the Evangelical Church District Bonn. The services take place in the Dreieinigkeitskirche in Hersel (built in 1961), the evangelical community center ARCHE in Sechtem and in the Aegidienkapelle von Buschdorf (built in 1869).
The parish is currently looked after by the pastors Eckart Wüster and Tobias Kriener. Eckart Wüster is also superintendent in the church district of Bonn. The community educator for children and young people is Michaela Bauch.

Others
traffic
- The station Bornheim-Hersel is located on the banks of the Rhine railway . There the KVB line 16 runs from Cologne to Bonn via Wesseling and Hersel along the Rhine. When the Rheinuferbahn was inaugurated by the Cologne-Bonn Railways in 1906 , it was considered the most modern electrically operated railway in Germany.
- The bus routes 604 and 818 run between Bonn-Ückesdorf and Hersel or between Bornheim-Sechtem and Hersel. In addition, since the timetable change in December 2015, RVK line 817 has been running between Herseler Bahnhof and Rheinbacher Bahnhof.
nature
Herseler Werth
The Rhine island of Herseler Werth is located between Bonn and Cologne in the village of Bornheim-Hersel (Rhine kilometer 660.80 L) and is a nature reserve. It is 1,678.5 m long and has an area of 14.8 hectares. The Werth has not been allowed to enter since December 1993 and is therefore the last Rhine island in North Rhine-Westphalia that is not freely accessible. Between 1202 and 1237 there was a great flood of the Rhine to the west . Parts of Hersel and the old Roman road between Bonn and Cologne were probably washed away and the Rhine Island was created.
The island is consisted of poplars that were planted by human hands after the Second World War . Since the Herseler Werth has not been allowed to be entered since the end of 1993, plants and animals live there that are threatened with extinction and are partly included in the so-called Red List of Endangered Species of the Federal Republic of Germany .
Gravel pits and landfill
In the past, the gravel was taken directly from the Rhine. There was also a small gravel pit on the Rhine. The large-scale gravel pits only appeared in the fields in the last few decades. The largest gravel works belong to the Horn family and the Hünten family.
After some of the gravel pits had been exploited, the city of Bonn used them as landfill sites. But after protests by some citizens and the construction of the waste incineration plant in Bonn, these landfills between the Bornheim districts of Hersel and Roisdorf were covered with earth a few years ago. During 2011, surface coverage measures are ongoing.
Historic Buildings
Tea house
In Hersel the tea house is often called the wine house, but this name is wrong. The pavilion, now painted pink, at the intersection of Rheinstrasse and Richard-Piel-Strasse served as a tea house before the war and belonged to the Marienhof estate. In Hersel and Uedorf there should once have been a total of four such teahouses.
Former Germania brewery
The Germania - Brewery Hersel was founded on October 10, 1864, and 126 years later, on 1 October 1990, closed. Before that happened, in 1922 it merged with the Rhein-Sieg brewery in Wissen / Sieg . Today apartments are housed in the converted brewery site.
Residence of the permanent representation of the GDR
The residence of the head of the Permanent Mission of the GDR (1974–1990) was at Rheinstrasse 232 in Hersel. The villa, which was built in the 1960s , was demolished in 2000 after it had served as the residence of the Embassy of the Philippines in the meantime .
Stored kiosk in Bonn
The Bundesbüdchen , a listed building in front of the Bundeshaus in Bonn , has been relocated since 2002 . It has existed since 1957 and was one of the most famous in Germany due to its use by many parliamentarians until the Bundestag moved to Berlin. The kiosk was removed on October 11, 2006 and will be temporarily stored in Bornheim-Hersel until it is rebuilt.
