Marsdorf is a district of Cologne on the extreme western edge of the city. Administratively, it belongs to the Junkersdorf district and with this to the Lindenthal district .

location

To the north and east, the 32-hectare Marsdorf is bordered by the Cologne district of Junkersdorf , to the south by the city of Hürth and its two districts of Stotzheim and Sielsdorf , and to the west by the city of Frechen and its two districts of Hüüllen and Bachem .

history

Marsdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1157. From 1356 the place belonged to the Bergheim office in the Duchy of Jülich . In 1794, however, French revolutionary troops occupied Marsdorf. When the new administrative division began, the place came to the Mairie Frechen in the canton of Weiden within the so-called Arrondissement de Cologne in the Département de la Roer . In 1815 the place finally came to the Kingdom of Prussia and to the mayor's office Frechen in the district of Cologne . During a communal reorganization of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia , which was founded in 1946 , Marsdorf finally passed from the now dissolved mayor of Frechen to the city of Cologne.

economy

Smart-Center Marsdorf

Marsdorf mainly consists of commercial areas that were built on the so-called green meadow . The place is the seat of numerous companies, including Toyota Motorsport , the motorsport department of the Japanese automobile company Toyota , and the second oldest company in Cologne, the Joh. Schlösser wax bleaching and candle factory . In total, over 130 companies have now settled in Marsdorf. This also includes numerous retail and catering chains . Since another six hectares have been designated as commercial space within the town in recent years, it can be assumed that Marsdorf will continue to attract companies and will grow in terms of its infrastructure.

Only a few old manors like Haus Vorst, Gut Keuschhof and Krummenhof with the associated Trinity Chapel from 1732, which is currently used as an event building, point to a lively past.

Furthermore, the Cologne Forest Laboratory was set up in Marsdorf in 2010.
