The first documentary mention of Mauenheim came from the year 1199, when Archbishop Adolf I gave the Kunibertsstift the Rodzehnt (“as he is legally permitted and free”), which was raised on newly cleared areas. With the donation, the canons of St. Kunibert were assigned the “glory of Mauenheim”, an area that encompassed the area of ​​the present-day districts of Nippes, Mauenheim and Bilderstöckchen. A glory was understood to mean an area that was originally under a “free master”. Philipp Vetscholder and his wife Petrissa leased further properties in Mauenheim in 1223, and Otto and Margarete in 1236 for life. A "Hof Mauenheim" ("Mowenheim" or "Mouenheim") was also mentioned when the order house of the Deutz Johanniterkommende St. Johann and Cordula acquired land of 4 manses and 30 acres (area: 466 acres ) in 1237 and then the " Johanniterhof ”.

In 1377 the Johanniter received permission from their Grand Prior Konrad von Braunsberg to swap their farm with three hooves of arable land for the “Zidderwald” in Bergisch Gladbach . Until the execution of the contract, the friar Ludolf van Mauenheim was to run the farm. On October 1, 1423, St. Kunibert leased the "Hof Mauenheim" he had acquired back to the married couple Arnold and Aleydis for 12 years to 58 Malter , and on October 1, 1428 the Johanniter leased 4 acres of arable land on Bischofsweg in Mauenheim. The limits of the “glory of Mauenheim” described a wisdom in 1556 : “First of all, from the holy piece saw ahm Restbüchell bit on the Weisenstein on the Neusser Strasse ligende, from the stone over the forty mornings to the stone located on the Lieffacker . Furthermore, from the same stone on the Ossend Body Street bit on the Heiligenstock the Scheiffers Burch , from the Scheifferburch on the Hincken Hegge , from the Heggen bit ahn dat Bracker Creütze in the Neusser Straße, from the Kreeute bit on the Stein in the Neelerstraßen [ Niehler Strasse; d.Verf.] and from then again bit on the street and the prescribed Hilgenstock on the rest of the book there, after which has only just begun ”.

A patrician named Braun von Mauwenheim (Bruno von Mauenheim), who came from the area, joined a crusade under King Conrad III in the 12th century . , was captured in Laodicea around 1221 and fled back to Cologne. Since then, the settlement of Mauenheim has changed its place name quite often, because in the Middle Ages alone it was called Mowinheym (b) (1199), Mouenheym or Movenhe (i) m, later (around 1481) also Mauvenheim. Mowinheym was located in the vicinity of today's Gocher Straße and Niehler Kirchweg and Mauenheimer Straße, which already existed at that time. The Schweidkarte by Abraham Hogenberg , published after 1609, shows the settlement "Maurhem" north of Neusser Strasse , south of it "Nippes". Since the 16th century, the town of Nippes, which became more and more important, arose in the area of ​​the “Herrlichkeit Mauenheim”.

In 1798, during the French era, the “glory of Mauenheim” ended and from then on it belonged to the mayor's office of Longerich ( French Mairie de Longerich ). The Tranchot map of August 1807 referred to the settlement as "Maulem". In 1810 Laurenz Fürth acquired the Johanniterhof in the district of Mauenheim, founded in 1237 by the Johanniterkommende, from the then owner Nikolaus Huntgeburth. Long after the Congress of Vienna in 1866, the mayor's office Longerich was divided into the two communities Nippes (with Riehl and Mauenheim) and Longerich (with Niehl, Merheim and Volkhoven). In April 1888, the Mauenheim district came to Cologne under the name Nippes. In 1919 new settlements emerged in the north of Nippes, whereupon the district of Nippes was separated in August 1933 and its old name Mauenheim was returned. The district of Mauenheim arose from parts of Merheim (left bank of the Rhine), from almost uninhabited parts of Nippes and from parts of Longerich that were uninhabited at the time of the census of June 16, 1933.

The first rounding of the area took place in early 1896 for the construction of the north cemetery , which opened its doors on May 18, 1896 on a former gravel pit. The residential development began in 1914 south of the cemetery with the planning of the "Nibelungensiedlung am Nordfriedhof" (676 residential units as well as social facilities and 20 shops) by Wilhelm Riphahn , the construction period took 9 years (1919–1928). As developers fugal, founded only in March 1913 city-owned GAG property . The combination of Riphahn / GAG also built the “Grüner Hof” between 1922 and 1924, which was an important and early example of a housing estate in Germany grouped around a large park. Its design goes back to English and Dutch models and is even earlier than the Wiener Höfe (1923) and the Berlin Hufeisensiedlung (1924), both epitomizes a collective form of living. The residential complex was renovated between 1995 and 2000. The first St. Quirinus Church belonging to the Kunibertsstift was demolished after a fire in 1665 and was located about 700 meters southeast of the current church built in 1927 by Eduard Endler . The “Madonna im Grünen” chapel, designed by Fritz Schaller and assigned on December 4, 1954, already belongs geographically to Cologne-Weidenpesch .
