Ehrenfeld is district 4 of the city of Cologne . It includes the six districts of Bickendorf , Bocklemünd / Mengenich , Ehrenfeld , Neuehrenfeld , Ossendorf and Vogelsang .
history
The city district has its name in common with the Ehrenfeld district , which not only forms the center of the district due to the local town hall on Venloer Straße . In front of the Ehrenpforte, a former city gate of medieval Cologne, there were mostly agricultural fields until the 19th century . This is how the Ehrenfeld community, founded in 1867, got its name. In 1879 it received its own city rights before it was incorporated into Cologne as part of the city expansion in 1888. For many years later, today's districts such as Bickendorf and Ossendorf were really still villages, and their architecture is partly reminiscent of this today.
The modern Ehrenfeld encompasses residential areas, industrial monuments, shopping streets and new industrial areas with the settlement of television stations in Ossendorf. The Ehrenfeld station offers a connection to the S-Bahn and regional rail network , and the city district is served by four partly underground light rail lines operated by the Cologne Transport Company (KVB).
