Höhenberg is an eastern part of Cologne in the Kalk district on the right bank of the Rhine . For centuries, Höhenberg was just a field name for an elevation of the Rhenish low terrace , on which the border between Kurköln and the Duchy of Berg ran. Only with the advancing industrialization of the neighboring cities of Kalk and Mülheim am Rhein at the end of the 19th century was the area developed for urban development. After the municipal non-profit corporation for housing (GAG) had built the large Germania settlement, Höhenberg became an independent district in 1927. It covers areas that formerly belonged to the districts of Buchheim , Kalk , Merheim and Vingst .
Many apartment buildings were built here after the Second World War, so that the number of inhabitants almost doubled between 1950 and 1980. Nevertheless, Höhenberg consists of over 50 percent green areas. Due to numerous plant closings in the neighboring industrial sites and a lack of new jobs, the unemployment rate in the district has been more than 22 percent for years. Many families are financially supported in their daily livelihood through funding measures from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the city. In addition, the parishes, with the participation of many citizens , initiated the HöVi-Land social network , which also helps socially disadvantaged families. In addition, this project initiates and carries out various actions to beautify and clean the district.
geography
The district is located on a now dry channel in the formerly swampy area of the lower terrace of the Rhine west of a glacial arm of the Rhine. The soil of the formerly mostly wooded area is heavily loess and clay, the height of the mostly flat local area is around 50 m above sea level. NN . The geographically highest point is about 55 meters in the immediate vicinity of the Church of St. Elisabeth.
Höhenberg borders on Buchheim in the north with the federal highway 55a , in the east with the green belt on the right bank of the Rhine on Merheim and Ostheim , in the south the border with Vingst runs smoothly . With the railway systems of the marshalling yard Cologne-Kalk North Höhenberg bordered to the west by lime .
history
High Middle Ages to Early Modern Times
In a list of the properties of the Vingster Hof from 1683, the location of two fields is listed with "on the Höhenberg" . This is a field name because the area was not populated. The border between the Duchy of Berg and Kurköln ran in this area from 1147 to 1803 . The Duchy set up an observation point on its territory in the area of today's intersection of Frankfurter- / Olpener Straße, which ensured a large-scale overview of the Electoral Cologne area. The Brücker Straße (today's Olpener Straße ), a wide field path used as a trade route between Cologne and the Bergisches Land, crossed the fields across borders.
The areas south of Olpener Strasse that are combined to form today's district of Höhenberg belonged to the municipality of Vingst, those to the north to Kalk. The areas east of Höhenberger Straße were assigned to the municipality of Merheim. A smaller area in the northeast, around today's Mülheim cemetery , belonged to Buchheim. The course of Frankfurter Chaussee (today's Frankfurter Strasse ), which was used by merchants to bypass Cologne's stacking rights , corresponded to the current routing of Germania and Oranienstrasse. Since this course touched the Electoral Cologne area, the merchants had to pay road tolls. The payment of the road toll was cheaper for the merchants than the deficit sale of their goods in the Cologne stacking house .
In 1768 the Duchy of Berg straightened the road so that it ran parallel to the state border. This straightening created a duty-free route between the Rhine ports of Mülheim and Zündorf , which belong to the duchy . After the secularization of the Electoral Cologne area established in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 , the property on the right bank of the Rhine was transferred to the Duchy of Nassau-Usingen . After the Congress of Vienna , Prussia received all areas of the current district.
First development of the area
In an overview of the status of 1831, a single house is recorded under the name Höhenberg, namely in the area of the mayor's office Merheim, at the end of 1843 there were at least two houses in the area of the mayor's office of Merheim and two houses in the area of the mayor's office of Deutz. The single Chausseehaus Hohenberg is shown on maps from 1863 .
In the Buchheim area, the Germania blast furnace went into operation around 1870 . When the steel industry was concentrated in the Ruhr area immediately after the company was founded due to the short transport routes for the raw materials ore and coal, the decentralized production of steel was no longer competitive due to the associated high rail transport costs, so that the plant had to cease operations a few years later and was in Went bankrupt. The Prussian administration built Fort X as part of the construction of the Outer Fortress Ring in Cologne, shortly after the current district boundary of Merheim am Nohlenweg. The 600 meter radius of this fort therefore had to remain undeveloped according to the Prussian Rayon regulations . In 1896 the Prussian government expropriated the area of the Merheimer Heide in order to create a military training area for the soldiers of the Hacketäuerkaserne and the Kronprinzenkaserne . In the garrison locations of Mülheim and Kalk, there was not enough space available for this purpose due to advancing industrialization.
At the turn of the century the first noteworthy development took place in the Merheim area. Several multi-storey tenement houses were built there as living space for the employees of the Mülheim and Kalker factories. In 1904, the responsible district town of Mülheim am Rhein set up a provisional school made of wooden barracks for 125 students on Frankfurter Strasse. On the opposite 20 hectare site, the city administration laid the Mülheim cemetery , which was opened on November 30, 1904. In 1905, despite resistance from the neighboring parish of Vingst, which was much larger and only had an emergency church, the Catholic faithful received permission to build a church. After the financing was secured, the brick hall church St. Elisabeth was built between 1908 and 1910. The church was consecrated on December 18, 1910. In June 1911 the parish of St. Elisabeth was founded from parts of the surrounding parishes , initially as the rectorate of the parish of St. Mauritius in Buchheim, and from 1918 as an independent parish.
With the suburban railway line B from Cologne to Brück (1906) of the Kölner Verkehrsbetriebe , which ran on Olpener Straße and the O to Opladen of the Mülheimer Kleinbahn (1909), which had its starting stop on Frankfurter Straße, the area was connected to the local transport network, so that a good connection to the neighboring industrial sites was created for the residents. The Kalker and Vingster areas were part of the Cologne urban area from April 1, 1910, and the Merheim and Buchheim areas were also incorporated into the Cologne urban area on April 1, 1914.
During the First World War , the Sport- und Spielverein 05 Köln e. V. (later SSV Vingst 05 ) a derelict site on today's Germaniastraße and laid out his club area with a sports field there.
Development into a district
After the First World War, the Gemeinnützige Wohnungsgesellschaft AG took over the 17.7 hectare site of the former blast furnace plant. The plans of the GAG envisaged building a purely single-family housing estate with around 1,000 residential units. During the completion of the first construction section between Meininger- and Germaniastraße (1919), the client changed the plans in view of the expected increase in population and decided to build primarily multi-family houses in two- to three-storey construction from the second construction phase, so that a total of 1,500 residential units were built by 1928 . In addition to a few smaller shops for everyday necessities, the Jung-Siegfried School was built on Weimarer Strasse , which, in addition to a Catholic elementary school, also housed a free school for non-denominational children, which was controversial at the time . The streets within the settlement were all named after cities in Thuringia, the home of the Höhenberger patron saint Elisabeth . The Germania settlement was at that time one of the largest contiguous estates of Germany. Due to the population growth associated with the large housing estate project, the City Council of Cologne decided to run Höhenberg as an independent district from 1927.
From 1920, several sports facilities for athletics and football were laid out east of Frankfurter Strasse. The then highest in the West German football class gambling VfR Köln 04 rrh. The city provided a stadium with a capacity of 30,000 spectators. Even the TuS Köln rrh. found his home on the new site. The Merheimer Heide area to the east of the sports facility, which the Prussian army used for military purposes before the First World War, was redesigned into a green area at the initiative of the Mayor of Cologne, Konrad Adenauer, at the end of the 1920s.
In addition to the Germania settlement, numerous residential buildings with various shops and a movie theater were built on Olpener Strasse . The Sparkasse zu Köln opened a branch on February 25, 1930 on the corner of Olpener Strasse and Fuldaer Strasse. The Oebel brothers founded the Rheinbrot large-scale bakery on Oranienstrasse in the 1920s . The factory buildings of the former Müller apple cabbage factory on Höhenberger Straße were taken over in 1932 by the Postel company, which manufactured patented injection-molded parts for zippers. Up to 120 people were employed there in the 1930s. The showman Ernst Hartkopf built several rows of houses in three-storey construction with extended roof trusses on the former tree plantations of the apple herb factory on Münchener Strasse.
time of the nationalsocialism
In 1933 the Kölner Verkehrsbetriebe took over the Mülheimer Kleinbahn . A year later, the suburban railway line O , popularly known as "Müllemer Schöckelpäd" (High German: Mülheimer rocking horse ), was discontinued between Mülheim and Höhenberg and replaced by a bus line.
Due to the proximity to the freight station and what was then the Kalk-Nord depot , many Höhenbergers were employed as civil servants for the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft . In contrast to the neighboring working-class suburbs, the NSDAP enjoyed high political support from this majority population group. The free school at the Jung-Siegfried-Schule was dissolved by the school administration in 1933, the pupils of the Catholic elementary school were separated according to sex. From 1929 to 1931 the stadium at Höhenberger Ring was rebuilt, with the capacity being reduced to 18,000 spectators. The area was expanded with six tennis courts and renamed Sportpark Höhenberg .
Despite its proximity to the Kalk-Nord railway system , the Germania settlement was only partially affected by bomb destruction during World War II . In the immediate vicinity of the embankment, some houses were completely destroyed. In the town center on Olpener Strasse, the damage caused by British and American bombers was significantly greater. The Jung-Siegfried-School was destroyed, the Church of St. Elisabeth so badly damaged that it could no longer be used. In 1941, a large flak position was set up on the Merheimer Heide, which belongs to the district .
post war period
The GAG replaced the destroyed buildings of the Germania settlement with more modern four-story new buildings, the appearance of which was adapted to the appearance of the existing houses. The area of the Schultheis settlement between Bahndamm and Oranienstraße, built in the 1930s , was assigned to the Höhenberg district from 1950 - this area had previously belonged to Vingst. This settlement, which had already been rebuilt after moderate war damage at that time, consisted of four-storey apartment buildings in a simple construction. In this settlement mostly displaced persons from former German areas were accommodated. Since there were no bathrooms or shower facilities available in the two-room apartments, the landlord set up the shared bathhouse Oranienbad on Dinkelsbühler Strasse.
On the edge of the Merheimer Heide, the city of Cologne built a settlement for municipal employees, which consisted of one and two-family houses. After a barrack, the so-called Schweizerhäuschen , had initially served as a substitute school for some of the Höhenberg students from 1949 , a modern school building was inaugurated on Weimarer Strasse in 1955. At the beginning of the 1950s, the city had already built another primary school building on Schulstrasse. The Church of St. Elisabeth was only available to the Catholic faithful again from 1957 after extensive repairs and redesign.
1960s and 1970s
After the remains of the former Katharinenburg restaurant on the corner of Olpener Strasse and Burgstrasse had been demolished, the Deutsche Bundespost built a modern housing estate there in 1962, which was initially only inhabited by postal workers. A few years later, Central Krankenversicherung built several apartment blocks on Erlanger Strasse. The simple residential units of the Schultheis settlement were increasingly occupied by Italian guest workers from the mid-1960s, which is why the settlement was popularly known as "Little Italy" . On Augsburger Strasse, the city opened a transitional home for ethnic German repatriates from Polish and Russian areas.
In 1964, the city of Cologne built a two-wing school complex on an open-air site at the end of Adalbertstrasse on the suburb of Vingst, in which the Käthe-Kollwitz-Realschule for girls and the Albert-Schweitzer-Realschule for boys moved. As a result of the educational reform, the school administration converted the elementary schools Schulstrasse and Weimarer Strasse into elementary schools in 1968 . At the same time, a secondary school was founded, the 995 pupils of which were temporarily taught in 27 classes in a separate school building on Schulstrasse and in premises on Weimarer Strasse. Two years later, the community secondary school was able to move into a new building on Nürnberger Strasse.
At the beginning of the 1960s, the suburban railway line B was relocated to its own route, which was laid out about 150 meters north of Olpener Strasse on the edge of the Germania settlement. Line B was incorporated into the numerical system of the Cologne public transport company in 1967 and was given line number 1. In the early 1970s, construction began on the first subway section on the right bank of the Rhine between Frankfurter Strasse and the railroad embankment of the marshalling yard. The 650 meter long route with the Fuldaer Straße underground station was opened in 1976. The former track was then redesigned into a park-like promenade.
The Postel injection molding plant , which after the war had switched production to building fittings, hinges and toy cars, saw no more opportunities for expansion on its premises on Höhenberger Straße and relocated the plant to Porz . After the production building was demolished, a twelve-story high-rise block was built there in the typical architectural style of the 1970s. The large-scale bakery Rheinbrot had financially taken over the modernization and expansion of the production facilities and was taken over in 1975 by the Würselener bread manufacturer Kronenbrot .
1980 until today
Large-scale housing developments have not taken place in Höhenberg since the 1980s. The Schultheis settlement was sold several times as a speculative property without the respective owners undertaking modernization measures, so that the settlement came to a progressively poor condition. As a result, the residential units could for a long time only be rented to guest workers and those in need according to Book Twelve of the Social Code . Only after individual private investors, mostly of Turkish origin, had bought several apartment blocks, urgent renovation work was carried out on some houses. A bunker from the Second World War within the settlement area was converted into a dormitory for asylum seekers in the early 1990s . Most of the rental units in the settlements on Erlanger, Höhenberger and Münchener Strasse were sold as condominiums to previous tenants or to private investors.
On the joint initiative of Petra Kempe, the youth leader of the Protestant community of Höhenberg / Vingst, and the then Catholic chaplain Ansgar Puff , the HöVi-Land holiday leisure time for children and young people from socially disadvantaged families was organized for the first time in 1994 , each in the first three weeks of the summer holidays near the Vingster open-air swimming pool. The HöVi-Land thus became the successor to the long-standing holiday games on the Protestant side, also due to increasing demand, whose basic concept was adopted. HöVi-Land is financed 50 percent by the city of Cologne, 30 percent by donations and 20 percent by the participation fee of 15 euros per week per child. In 2008 over 500 children and young people took part in the holiday camp.
Several long-term projects developed from this initiative for the Höhenberg / Vingst social area , in which over 40% of families do not have any self-generated income. For example, a clothing store, a food distribution center, as well as a career start-up center and drug advice center were set up. To beautify both parts of the city, the Blooming HöVi-Land initiative plants over 45,000 daffodils in the green spaces every year . Several hundred bag dispensers were placed across both parts of the city, from which dog owners can take bags for the excrement of their four-legged friends free of charge . The care of the flower beds and the filling of the bag dispensers are carried out by voluntary sponsors.
The GAG began in 2004 with a complete renovation of the measure under monument protection standing Germania settlement in which the original appearance of the settlement may not be changed. Due to the inadequate building fabric, some apartment blocks on Frankfurter Strasse and Erfurter Strasse were demolished after approval by the city curator and replaced with new buildings. Eight small houses on Weimarer Strasse were sold at reasonable prices, but the new owners had to undertake to carry out the renovation on their own account. Completed residential units are also offered to tenants for sale. The developer budgeted the total costs for the renovation measure at 55 million euros.

Housing conditions and development
In the zoning plan , only 44% of the 2.2 square kilometer district area is designated as residential building space, over 52% as green space, just under 3% as common area and 1% as commercial space.
The size of the 6553 apartments in Höhenberg averages 59.6 square meters. In 2014, 261 single and two-family houses and 725 multi-family houses were listed in the statistics of the Office for Urban Development. The average living space per citizen was 32 square meters. In many older apartment buildings, the social bond expired after 40 years, so that only 7 percent of the apartments were reported as publicly subsidized. Many apartments in the Germania settlement and other residential areas have been converted into condominiums in the last 10 years and offered to tenants for sale.
Infrastructure and economy
traffic
With the Frankfurter Straße ( B 8 ), the Olpener Straße ( B 55 ) and the motorway-like federal highway 55a , a connecting road between the motorway junction Köln-Ost and Zoobrücke , the place is connected to the Cologne road network. There is a connection to the federal motorways 3 and 4 on Frankfurter Straße .
Höhenberg has two stops for tram line 1. This connects the district with Cologne city center within 12 minutes . With the KVB bus routes 151, 152, 153, 179 and 193 crossing the district area , many districts on the right bank of the Rhine can be reached without having to change trains.
Education and care
After both secondary schools were relocated to other school buildings in Brück and Ostheim in the mid-1980s , the municipal Katharina-Henoth comprehensive school has been located in the village since 1992 . In the 2007/2008 school year, 902 students attended this school. The community high school Nürnbergerstraße visited 493 students over the same period. 228 pupils were registered at the two primary schools on Schulstrasse and Weimarer Strasse. The school building of the Schulstrasse community elementary school had to be closed in 2007 due to the building fabric being hazardous to health. The students were alternatively accommodated in a school building in neighboring Vingst. In addition to six kindergartens, there is a school after- school care center for six to eleven year olds on Augsburger Strasse.
The Oranienhof retirement home on Olpener Strasse has existed since the 1960s . It can accommodate 70 elderly people who need short-term daily care. After austerity measures by the Archdiocese of Cologne , the operation of the St. Elisabeth parish home could no longer be financially ensured, so the community decided to demolish the building in order to provide a building site for the St. Gereon youth hostel . The old rooms of the youth hostel in Kalk were so badly in need of renovation that a new building elsewhere turned out to be more economical. In the spring of 2008, the new youth hostel opened in the immediate vicinity of the St. Elisabeth Church, which is sponsored by the Association for the Promotion of Kath. Heimstatt- und Jugendsozialarbeit e. V. is operated.
Public safety and rescue
The Höhenberg area is looked after by the Southeast Police Inspection , the three fire stations in Deutz , Mülheim and Ostheim and the hospitals in the neighboring districts of Merheim and Kalk, which can be reached within five minutes in an emergency.
Business and Commerce
The business center of the district is located on Olpener Straße on an approximately 500 meter long section between Germaniastraße and Höhenberger Straße. In addition to a post office and the Sparkasse KölnBonn branch, there are three supermarkets and various smaller retail outlets from various industries. The Best Western hotel chain operates a four-star hotel with 92 rooms on Bennoplatz . In addition to three restaurants serving international cuisine, there are currently nine inns in the local area. There are also two car dealerships, three petrol stations and a branch of a workshop chain in the Höhenberg area.
After the injection molding factory Postel and the wire works Colonia shut down their production facilities, the large bakery Kronenbrot is the only still producing company in the district. The name Chemische Fabrik Kalk , which is steeped in tradition for Cologne on the right bank of the Rhine , is no longer a production company, but the trading company for chemicals and fertilizers of K + S AG , which is based on Olpener Straße. The only letter distribution point for the Cologne-Kalk district is attached to the post office .
Culture and sights
societies
TuS Köln rrh, based in the Höhenberg sports park . offers various opportunities for popular sports. Among other things, the club has departments in football, tennis, swimming and athletics. The club organizes sports activities in 13 halls on the right bank of the Rhine. In the immediate vicinity of the TuS is the former second division football team and today's third division FC Viktoria Köln , which has a large youth department with 19 teams. The tennis club Viktoria Köln , which organisationally has nothing to do with the football club, has over 300 members who have seven clay courts available. Another football club is DJK Siegfried Kalk on Merheimer Heide. The St. Sebastianus Schützenbruderschaft Köln-Höhenberg from 1924 e. V. has its own club on Höhenberger Ring.
Regular events
One weekend before carnival, the KG Höhenberger Junge organize several carnival events, for which a large tent is set up on the Höhenberger Ring. In addition to a discovery event and a ladies' session, a children's session is also held, with sponsors covering the costs for the program, food and non-alcoholic beverages. Every year on Carnival Saturday there is a fool's parade through the Höhenberger streets - since the train is not particularly long, some streets are walked twice. The Höhenberger Schützen hold their shooting festival on the Höhenberger Ring on the first weekend in September, just a few weeks later the residents of the Germania settlement and numerous visitors celebrate a street festival on Weimarer Straße.
Leisure, sport and recreation
On the property used by SSV Vingst 05 as a club area until 1964 , the City of Cologne built a combined indoor and outdoor pool based on a design by Johannes Mronz , which opened in 1975. After extensive renovation work and the installation of a sauna area, the pool was reopened in 2007 and renamed Höhenbergbad . In the swimming pool hall, which is triangular in terms of its base, swimmers are offered an 83 meter long water slide and two diving boards. The large local recreation area Merheimer Heide , completed around 1920, consists of forest areas and extensive meadows. In the western part of the heath, the Höhenberg sports park was created, where several sports clubs found their home. The largest sports facility is the airport stadium named after the main sponsor of SCB Viktoria Köln for 12,000 spectators. Allotment garden settlements were created in the north of the Merheimer Heide and along the railway systems in the west of the village . For sports that are not organized by clubs, the city has created several football fields, an outdoor basketball court and a skate park in the local area.
Buildings and monuments
St. Elisabeth
The three-aisled brick hall church of St. Elisabeth was built between 1908 and 1910 and consecrated by Dean Martin Köllen on December 18, 1910 in honor of St. Elisabeth of Thuringia . The architecture of the church combines late Gothic and Romanesque forms. The interior was equipped with thematic glazing, side altars and figures of saints. The church was given the spire , the organ and a tower clock that is no longer in existence until after the consecration in the period up to the Second World War. After bombers had badly damaged the church in World War II, it was not repaired until 1956/57 according to plans by Dominikus Böhm and his son Gottfried Böhm and expanded at the same time. The altar , the tabernacle , the six altar candlesticks and the six-meter-high stand cross were made by Hanns Rheindorf in 1956. Between 1959 and 1968 the same Cologne artist designed a marble baptismal font, the stations of the cross made of enamel and an Easter candlestick. St. Elisabeth received a new organ in 1968. Much of the church glazing designed by Dominikus Böhm was replaced between 1982 and 1988 by panes designed by the painter Hans Rolf Maria Koller .
Mülheim cemetery
The park-like Mülheimer Friedhof on Frankfurter Strasse, which opened on September 30, 1904, has an almost triangular, almost 20 hectare area. The cemetery was created by the then still independent city of Mülheim am Rhein as a city cemetery, where both Protestant and Catholic Christians were to be buried. The three-part entrance gate, densely covered with ivy , was built according to plans by the Mülheim government master builder Raabe in 1903 and is a listed building. The broad main path, surrounded by old trees, leads to a roundabout on which the central high cross was built. The funeral hall and several large family graves are also located at this central point of the cemetery. Behind the mourning hall there is an honorary grave field for those killed in the Second World War.
Personalities
- Franz Meurer , who has been a Catholic pastor in the Vingst / Höhenberg community since 1992, was awarded the “Alternative Cologne Honorary Citizenship” for his social work in 2001.
