On the western slope of the Holtorfer Hardt (or Ennert-Hardt) three high-domed and ten flat barrows from around 4000 BC were found. Found. Cremation graves from the Iron Age (1000 to 500 BC) were found in the area of ​​the Drosselstrasse . In the district of Oberholtorf, the remains of a large Romanesque hall church were excavated, which were built in the 1st half of the 11th century on the site of a somewhat smaller church building from around 900 AD , located above Merovingian settlement traces from the 7th century Conversion to a stately building was tidily demolished around the end of the 13th century. The so-called Burg Oberholtorf is largely unexplored, the previous owners and builders unknown.

Holtorf was first mentioned as Holzdorp in 1183/1187 , Ober- and Niederholtorf in 1733. In the Holtorf area, both on the Hardt and in the hill country to the east, there was lignite and alum mining in the 19th century , mainly by the Hermann company Bleibtreus . Structural remains are visible around Holtorf. The place or yard Ungarten originally belonged to the Honschaft or in Prussian times (from 1815) to the municipality of Vinxel , was incorporated into the municipality of Stieldorf between 1852 and 1865 and only came to the municipal reorganization of the Bonn area on August 1, 1969 City of Bonn.

The foundation stone for the first church in Niederholtorf, consecrated to St. Anthony , took place on July 4, 1926. It was consecrated at Christmas 1926 and consecrated on May 19, 1928. The poor structural condition of the church building led to an architectural competition for a new building in 1962 , which led to the commissioning of the Bonn architect Stapper in May 1963. The start of construction was delayed on October 5, 1970 due to difficulties in the approval process. The church was consecrated on September 15, 1974.
