Location of the Hoholz district in the Beuel district of Bonn

Hoholz is a district in the Beuel district of the federal city of Bonn . It is located in the eastern tip of Bonn on the border with Sankt Augustin and Königswinter , 100 meters above the Rhine, on the edge of the Birlinghovener Forest and near the Ennert in the Pleiser hill country .

History and present

Hoholz was first mentioned as a place of residence in the church register of the Stieldorf parish of 1686 as "am Hohenholtz", before that in 1593 in a border description as "am hoch Holz". However, people probably lived in Hoholz before that, as geologists and archaeologists discovered cemetery fields from the earlier Iron Age (850 to 450 BC) north of Birlinghoven Castle around 1903 .

In Prussian times (from 1815) Hoholz initially belonged to the municipality of Vinxel and between 1852 and 1865 it was incorporated into the municipality of Stieldorf , which was administratively subordinate to the Oberpleis mayor . In the course of the municipal reorganization of the Bonn area , Hoholz became part of the city of Bonn on August 1, 1969.

Today in Hoholz there is a row of shops with a restaurant, a municipal kindergarten, the Om Berg elementary school with a multi-purpose hall, an undertaker, a florist, a cemetery and several well-preserved half-timbered houses . The Ettenhausen estate also belongs to the district .

The Hoholz Citizens' Association was founded on November 27, 1959. It has around 350 members (as of May 2015) and is non-partisan, economically and denominationally independent.
