Gremberghoven is a district on the right bank of the Rhine in the southeast of Cologne , in the district of Porz . The name Gremberghoven has been used since 1922 and is made up of the names of the Cologne districts of Gremberg and Westhoven .

location

Gremberghoven borders in the east on Rath / Heumar and Eil , in the southeast on Finkenberg , in the south on Porz , in the west on Ensen and Westhoven and in the north on Humboldt / Gremberg and Ostheim .

history

The place Gremberghoven owes its origin to the freight station of the same name, which was planned as early as 1913, but was not built until 1917 because of the First World War. A breakpoint was set up here as early as 1921 and the nearby railway settlement called Kolonie was designated. The Porz municipal council decided in January 1922 to name this new housing estate Ensen-Ost . In contrast, the Porz-Urbacher Volksblatt published a message from the Porz rector Carl Breuer. After that, the name Gremberghoven would have prevailed among the residents of the railway settlement. On May 2, 1922, the name of the Gremberghoven tenant cooperative appeared in a newspaper. The district president in Cologne approved the new name after the Reich Interior Minister Adolf Köster had also agreed. Since 1929, the amalgamation of the previous mayorships Heumar (with its seat in Porz) and Wahn , Gremberghoven has belonged to the new large municipality of Porz , which received city rights in 1951 as Porz am Rhein . Since Porz was incorporated into the city of Cologne as part of the regional reform of 1975, Gremberghoven has been an independent district of Cologne.
