Feldkassel
Feldkassel is a former place and now an industrial park in the north of the city of Cologne and is located in the Cologne-Merkenich district in the Chorweiler district .
location
Feldkassel borders the Rheinkassel district in the east, the Fühlinger See lake and the Kölner Fordwerke in the south, Cologne-Fühlingen in the west and the Langel district in the Cologne-Merkenich district in the north .
history
In Roman times there was a brick factory in Feldkassel. The small town has belonged to the mayor's office of Worringen since the 19th century . Together with Worringen, Merkenich, Langel, Rheinkassel and Kasselberg, Feldkassel was incorporated into the city of Cologne on April 1, 1922. The clay deposits in the area of today's Fühlinger See resulted in a brick factory in Feldkassel until the middle of the 20th century. Roof tiles were last made here. To the southwest of the village was a windmill on a small hill, the Stallagsberg. Their remains were torn down at the beginning of the 1970s because they were located in the middle of the planned recreational area.
Since July 15, 1954, Feldkassel was only a district in the Fühlingen district by a resolution of the council. Feldkassel, but also Langel, Rheinkassel and Kasselberg have been part of the Merkenich district since October 7, 1963 . In the 1970s, the small farming village of Feldkassel was demolished and had to give way to the expansion of the Fühlinger See and a new industrial area. This new industrial area is now called Feldkassel .
The only relic of the old village is the former war memorial. This was moved to the neighboring village of Fühlingen.

On Morsestrasse, the Turkish-Islamic community in Chorweiler, after three years of planning and construction, has been maintaining a community center with a mosque in a former commercial building since 2008, which is the first Muslim place of worship in the city district for 30 years. It mainly organizes Muslims from the nearby districts of Chorweiler and Seeberg .

In the west of Feldkassel runs the Industriestraße, part of the previously planned federal motorway 552 . It begins south of the Niehler Hafen and has a connection point to the Federal Motorway 1 . An extension of the road to the north as a bypass road for Fühlingen was implemented after a long period of planning.
