geography

The approximately 248 hectare Holzem district lies west of the 258 m high Wachtberg , after which the municipality of Wachtberg was named in 1969. The Ölbach rises in the district and flows into the Godesberger Bach north of Gudenau Castle in Villip .

history

The name Holzem goes back to the Knights of Holtzheim, who were castle men from Are and whose ancestral home was near Neuss . They built a farm “sometime in the 11th or 12th century” in the wooded area south of Villip. This and another courtyard that was built later were owned by the Knights of Holtzheim until around 1400.

Around this time, the Holtzheimer Höfe passed to Eva von Holtzheim, she was the wife of Johann von Kettge, the owner of Ringsheim Castle. The von Kettge family remained in the possession of the Holtzheimer Höfe until 1499, when Dietrich von Kettge decided to sell it to Wilhelm von Stein called Tricht.

In 1566 Otto Waldbott von Bassenheim zu Gudenau became the property of the farms. He was married to Johanna Scheiffart von Merode zu Bornheim, a descendant of the Knights of Holtzheim. Her great-grandfather Johann von Hompesch, who with his wife Katharina von Geisbusch donated the triptych to St. Georg (Frauenberg) on the occasion of their wedding in 1477, was the great-grandson of Eva von Holtzheim and Johann von Kettge zu Ringsheim.

Holzem belonged together with Pech and Villip (with Villiprott) to the imperial rule Villip , which was ruled by the Waldbotts of Bassenheim and later by the Vorst – Lombecks from Gudenau Castle.

1798 were Frenchmen from thenceforth independent three villages Holzem, pitch and Villip and the seven villages of the Drachenfelser Ländchen the Mairie Villip country-Canton Bonn. In 1816, after being taken over by the Prussians, Holzem became part of the Villip mayor's office , which was renamed Amt Villip in 1930 . Holzem has been part of the newly founded municipality of Wachtberg since August 1, 1969. The basis for this is the law on the local reorganization of the Bonn area ( Bonn law ).
