Riehl is a district in the north of Cologne on the left bank of the Rhine .
geography
The boundaries of the Riehl district form the Innere Kanalstrasse in the south, the Rhine in the east , the KVB route of the Gürtelbahn in the north and Amsterdamer Strasse in the west (parts of the development west of the Amsterdamer Strasse, especially around the children's hospital , still belong to Riehl belong). The neighboring districts are Neustadt-Nord in the south, Nippes in the west and Niehl in the north. More than a quarter of the area in Riehl are parks and green spaces.
history
Settlement until the 19th century
Riehl, first mentioned in a document in 972, was a rural settlement until the end of the 19th century. In the 13th century a Fronhof, mentioned in a document in 1244, formed the center of the Riehler feud, which was also the seat of the knightly family of the Schilling von Rile. The Mariengarten monastery , which belongs to the order of the Cistercian Sisters, may also have its origins in Riehl as "conventus de Rile". On August 15, 1357, the Archbishop of Cologne , Wilhelm von Gennep , Duke Wilhelm II of Jülich and the cities of Cologne and Aachen agreed to have a common silver coin struck in Riehl Castle; the castle now functioned as the archbishopric mint of the Electorate of Cologne and was located in Cologne-Riehl on today's street An der Münze on the banks of the Rhine. It is known of her that she produced a total of 146,300 coins from May 18, 1463 to March 3, 1464. The prince-bishop's coin minted over 130 types of coins. A subsequent flood in 1464 damaged the castle and the courtyards so badly that they stopped being minted. The remaining walls were laid down by Cologne troops in the course of the Cologne collegiate feud in order not to provide a base for the enemy advancing from Neuss .
Riehl remained at risk of flooding and developed only slowly in the following three centuries. Several farms and an infirmary were built to care for lepers . The two floods of 1784 and 1788 again caused very serious damage. During the French rule between 1798 and 1814, Riehl belonged to the " mairie de Longerich ". In the Battle of Riehl on January 3, 1814, the attempt by the Prussian Guard Jäger battalion led by Major Ferdinand Wilhelm Franz Bolstern von Boltenstern to drive out the French troops failed . Boltenstern was fatally wounded as he retreated. The French troops did not leave Cologne until January 14, 1814, Riehl became part of Prussia and until 1886 belonged to the Prussian mayorship of Longerich. On April 1, 1888, Riehl was incorporated into Cologne with Nippes.
The golden corner of Cologne
From the middle of the 19th century, Cologne's entertainment district developed on the free area in front of the Cologne city fortifications, the rayon. This area was called “the golden corner of Cologne” on city maps and was popularly called “de jolde Spetz” (the golden tip); on beautiful Sundays it was visited by more than 50,000 guests. The destinations to be visited included spacious garden and dance bars (from 1830), the “Old Cologne Festival Square” (1845 to 1929), the zoo (from 1860), the Flora (from 1864), several summer theaters (1865 to 1919), the “Riehler Ballhaus ”(1869 to 1943), a Panoptikum (1887 to 1935), the Radrennbahn (1889 to 1955), the Rheinlust outdoor pool (1902 to 1986), the so-called“ American Amusement Park / Luna Park ”(1909 to 1928) and the botanical one Garden (from 1914).
Because of the military requirements, all buildings had to be made of wood; these have therefore completely disappeared today. Only the first of all the excursion restaurants, the "Wattler's Fischerhaus", which was set up in 1830, was rebuilt in Stein in 1955 and still exists today with a new name under the zoo bridge on Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer . The "Luna Park" was demolished in 1928 because the wooden buildings no longer met the requirements for preventive fire protection. The area was integrated into the inner green belt of the city; today part of it is used as a sculpture park. The efforts to build on the old amusement park tradition in Riehl with a "Cologne Tivoli" in the course of the Federal Garden Show in 1971 failed after a few years. The facility between Mülheimer Brücke and the Cranach grove was not accepted by the population because of its decentralized location and the high prices, and it filed for bankruptcy in 1975.
On the other hand, the Cologne Zoo , the flora and the botanical garden shape the character of Riehl as a green garden city to this day. The Flora gardens were laid out in 1864 according to the plans of the Prussian garden architect Peter Joseph Lenné ; In 1920 the adjacent botanical garden was connected to the flora. The Cologne Zoo has been significantly expanded several times over the 150 years of its existence and with an area of 20 hectares is now four times as large as when it was founded. The oldest buildings in Riehl can therefore also be found in the zoo and flora: the classicist director's villa in the zoo (1859/60), the former antelope and elephant house with Moorish- Indian architectural borrowings (1863) and the palatial palm house in the Flora (1863), which in its basic form was inspired by the London Crystal Palace and was extensively restored from 2011 to summer 2014.
Parade ground and barracks town

The area on the Rheinbogen, the so-called Mülheimer Heide , was used by the Prussian military as a parade ground since 1818. In 1844 the army also set up the first shooting ranges on the area, and by 1896 there were a total of 26. The stray bullets scattered across the Rhine to Mülheim. Since the population complained, the Cologne governor Ludwig von Cranach had black poplars planted as a bullet trap in 1878. This green space is still called the Cranach grove today.
By the First World War, Riehl became one of the largest military locations in Cologne: a total of five barracks were built between 1893 and 1914, in which over 2,900 soldiers were stationed, compared to just 2,150 civilian residents. The Barbara barracks (1893–1895) was built on Amsterdamer Strasse / Barbarastrasse. The buildings were completely demolished after the Second World War; The Federal Administration Office has been located on the site since June 1984 . The fishing barracks, built between 1899 and 1901 on Barbarastraße, has been preserved to this day and is used as an industrial site. The so-called barracks town on the Mülheimer Heide was laid out shortly before the First World War. These included the infantry barracks on Boltensternstrasse (1909–1912) and the pioneer barracks (1907/08) as well as the barracks on Slabystrasse (1913/14). A total of 60 buildings were built. They have been used by the Riehler Heimstätten since 1926 .
Riehl becomes a district
Since the historic core of Riehl's settlement on Frohngasse had been built on with the facilities of the entertainment district, the new town center was formed around one kilometer up the Rhine. The settlement developed into a district between 1900 and 1930: At the turn of the century, Riehl had around 900 civilian residents, and 30 years later over 14,000.
In 1874, the preparatory work began for the new development in Riehl, which should be better protected from the floods of the Rhine. The building contractor Steinbüchel had the site filled with Rhine gravel by around 2 meters. For the place, which has belonged to the city of Cologne since 1888, the city architect Josef Stübben developed an alignment plan in 1893. Up to the turn of the century, a closed development was built on Stammheimer Strasse and Hittorfstrasse. In 1897, at the corner of Stammheimer Strasse and Riehler Gürtel, the first Catholic church in Riehl, the St. Engelbert emergency church, was built according to plans by Heinrich Krings ; six years later Riehl was raised to a parish. The church building was destroyed in World War II.
In 1902, the so-called tram estate designed by Eduard Endler was built on Stammheimer Strasse , one of the first examples of municipal rental housing construction in Cologne. It was intended for large families of tram workers who worked in the nearby railway depot on Riehler Straße from 1889 to 1956. The settlement in home style urban fabric with 66 residential units reminds the floor plan of a palace and showed initially a rich facade decorations.

When the botanical garden was laid out in 1914, city architect Carl Rehorst drew a completely new alignment plan for Riehl based on the concept of the garden city . He replaced the star-shaped street grid from the planning by Josef Stübben with an organically irregular one. This curved street layout defines the Riehler townscape to the present day.
After the end of the First World War , British occupation troops moved into Riehl. The armistice agreement of 1918 provided for the Rhineland to be demilitarized and the greater Cologne area to be occupied by soldiers from the British Army. The barracks in Riehl were therefore abandoned and around 3,500 British soldiers moved into. For the higher British ranks and their families, the city of Cologne was obliged to build more than 110 houses in the garden city between the Botanical Garden and the Riehler Gürtel between 1919 and 1925. The buildings for the officers were given an elegant style corresponding to the English way of life; the lower ranks moved to the rows of tenement houses on the Riehler Gürtel, decorated in architectural expressionism. After the end of the occupation in 1926, the resulting villa quarter was mainly occupied by higher-ranking German officials and supplemented by other representative houses. It has retained its character as a garden city and upscale residential area to this day.

Growth through settlement construction
In the second half of the 1920s, Riehl made a significant development boost: Several new housing estates were intended to help alleviate the housing shortage. An old town was set up on the barracks site on Boltensternstrasse. The traffic situation was permanently changed by the construction of the Mülheimer Rheinbrücke. Finally, the extensive development reached its architectural climax with the construction of Cologne's first modern church, St. Engelbert . The population tripled during this time from 5,280 (1925) to 14,669 (1933) inhabitants.
Because of the increased population of the district it became necessary to build a new, large Catholic parish church, which - like its predecessor - was consecrated to St. Engelbert . It was built in 1931 by the Cologne architect Dominikus Böhm and is considered the first modern church building in Cologne and also a milestone in sacred architecture in the 20th century. The church is a central building that is bounded by eight parabolic gable walls. The new form had to be enforced with the support of the art-loving Riehler pastor Clemens Wirtz against considerable reservations of the church authorities. Due to the characteristic shape of the roof, the church is called "de Zitronenpresse" in Cologne vernacular. The church building stands on a raised plateau in which Böhm accommodated the parish rooms. Overall, the central building presents itself on the wide staircase with the deep forecourt and the vertical church tower designed as a campanile as an architecturally effective unit, a "still unattained round church, which also demonstrated Germany's leading position in church construction in terms of concrete technology."

After the withdrawal of the occupation troops, an old town was set up on the barracks site . The facility, known as Riehler Heimstätten , was rebuilt from 1927 to 1934 as an old people's home complex with 2,150 beds on the initiative of the head of the Cologne welfare office, Hertha Kraus, and according to the plans of Cologne city planning director Adolf Abel . Hertha Kraus had designed a three-part facility with the areas of residential complex, nursing home and pension home, which was based on American models. The homestead was considered to be the largest retirement and pension facility in the German Reich, which was imitated in many cities.
In 1927, the construction of a suspension bridge began, which connected the center of Mülheim with Cologne-Riehl on the left bank of the Rhine. The so-called Mülheimer Brücke was built in place of a Rhine crossing that had existed since the Middle Ages and which had led over a ship bridge since 1888 . The bridge, which opened in 1929, was the largest suspension bridge in Europe at the time of construction with a span of 315 meters.
To remedy the housing shortage, extensive new construction was carried out in Riehl in the second half of the 1920s, which was even referred to as a building boom . Mainly housing cooperatives built large apartment blocks for the working population, the equipment of which was exemplary for the time. The social division between the bourgeois quarter to the south and the working quarter north of the Riehler belt characterized the district well into the post-war period.
Starting in 1927, the Gemeinnützige Wohnungsbau AG (GAG) built a complex with 631 residential units on the site of the former Delfosse brickworks. The facility was intended for low-income aspirants for whom the Cologne Housing Office had to procure cheap and simple apartments. Working-class families with many children, whose members were employed by the Ford works and the Rhine cable works, moved into the so-called housing authority apartments . The so-called Naumannsiedlung received an architectural consortium headed by Manfred Faber an overall urban development plan, in which the total of 68 four to five-story, in exceptional cases also six-story houses were grouped around a kind of village square and connected well to the existing urban development. The buildings were given a facade in red and white, the design of which the architects sought to combine expressionist decoration with the functional basic form of the New Building .
In the same decade, several other residential buildings were built: Braunkohle AG built an ensemble of buildings for its employees on Amsterdamer Strasse, which in Riehl became known as the brown coal settlement . A settlement originally called Green Block was built in 1926 on behalf of the Erbbauverein Köln eG between the Riehler Gürtel and the Naumannviertel; after its complete renovation in 2002 it is called a solar settlement . The Erbbauverein built another property with 80 units on both sides of Sprengelstrasse. The Cologne architect Ernst Wilhelm Scheidt planned a horseshoe-shaped tenement row development on behalf of the Kölner Hausbau GmbH on the Riehler Gürtel around 1930, which he gave an expressionistically shaped brick facade.

School building Garthestrasse (1928–1930)
The architect Emil Rudolf Mewes built a new, spacious school building on Garthestrasse, which opened in 1930 with 23 school classes and 1,174 children. The building, which was one of the most progressive school buildings of its time, was given a façade in a series of industrial architecture based on the formal language of New Building .
the post war period
Compared to other parts of the city, Riehl suffered relatively little damage from bombs during the Second World War . Sun was among St. Engelbert of the few churches that could be used immediately after the war for worship. She became famous for the sermon given on New Year's Eve 1946 by Cardinal Joseph Frings , in which, against the background of the post-war hardship, he declared that it was permissible to take the essentials of life if they could not be obtained in any other way. From this, the Cologne vernacular derived the verb Fringsen for coal stealing . After the war, emergency shelters were set up in makeshift huts and communal barracks between Boltensternstrasse and the banks of the Rhine, which were used as temporary apartments by bombed out Cologne residents and refugees. The 250 or so emergency shelters were designated as a fishing settlement ; The settlement was demolished in 1961 for the expansion of the Niehler port.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the remaining vacant lots in the northern part of Riehl were closed, in which multi-storey rental houses were built. The housing company Neue Heimat built a new housing estate with 930 apartments on the site of the former Riehler industrial and commercial area between the zoo and the Rhine . This zoo settlement was given a central location as an architectural focal point, a kindergarten St. Hermann Joseph designed by Gottfried Böhm in 1967/1974 . It had to be demolished in 2007 due to structural defects.
For the Riehler skyline, Henrik Busch built a fixed point that could be seen from afar in the form of the Colonia House built directly on the Rhine between 1970 and 1973 . At the time of construction, it was the tallest residential tower in Germany with 46 storeys and 352 residential units; only in 2020 did it have to cede this title to the Grand Tower in Frankfurt / Main. After the originally eponymous Colonia insurance was taken over by the AXA insurance group in 1997 , the neon sign at the top of the building changed. Since then it has also been referred to as the AXA high-rise. However, the official name is still Colonia House .
In the 1960s, Riehl was selected as the location for two Cologne facilities. The wholesale flower market was set up on Barbarastraße. The municipal children's hospital was built on Amsterdamer Strasse . The building design developed by Benno Schachner was realized from 1957 to 1963; When it was inaugurated, it was the largest children's clinic in Germany with 23 doctors. Today more than 107 doctors are employed in the complex.
In the 1980s, further large buildings were added on the edges of the residential development. The Federal Administration Office was built on Amsterdamer Strasse, the City Hostel of the German Youth Hostel Association was built on the banks of the Rhine , and the DEVK insurance complex was built near the zoo .

Infrastructure
traffic
Two important arterial roads in Cologne city center run through Riehl: on the eastern edge, between the zoo and the Rhine, the Riehler Straße , which leads from the north-south route to the northeast to the Mülheimer Brücke , and on the western edge, the northward Amsterdamer Straße , over the the port of Niehl can also be reached.
From the northern end of Riehler Straße, before the driveway to Mülheimer Brücke, Boltensternstraße goes in a north-westerly direction , which, as an extension of Rheinuferstraße , also leads past "Riehler Heimstätten" to Niehler Hafen and meets the northern end of Amsterdamer Straße. From there, Industriestraße , a four- to six-lane expressway, continues north through the Niehler industrial area to the A1 motorway .
Riehl can be reached from the right bank of the Rhine via the Mülheimer Brücke or the Zoobrücke . As an extension of the Zoobrücke, Innere Kanalstrasse leads to the western parts of the city. The zoo bridge also functions as a motorway connection to the right bank of the Rhine on the Cologne Ring .

Riehl is well connected to Cologne's local transport network. It is touched by three tram lines of the KVB , the lines 13, 16 and 18. There is also the bus line 140, which has a feeder function to the tram and therefore meanders in a zigzag through the district in order to bring as many residents as possible into its catchment area. From almost every point in Riehl you can get to Cologne main station , Mülheim station and Neumarkt in around 15 minutes .
Since 1957 a cable car has been leading across the Rhine from the zoo to the Rheinpark on the right bank of the Rhine.
Commerce and gastronomy
The center of Riehl can be seen on Stammheimer Straße , which forms the local shopping center on the section between the streets Riehler Gürtel and Riehler Tal. Almost all of the district's shops are located here. This section of the road is therefore affectionately and ironically called Riehler Kö by the people of Riehl . On Wednesdays and Saturdays there is a weekly market on the Riehler Gürtel.
Before the Second World War, a very large number of beer gardens, excursion restaurants and pubs had settled in Riehl as an entertainment district. Little of it remains. Wattler's fisherman's house from 1830 still receives guests today - under a new name. A new beer garden was created in 1996 at the former swimming pool. The zoo restaurant, which opened in a completely new form in 2014, now offers a view of the flamingo pond from the garden terrace. Since the reopening of the Flora , a garden restaurant has been set up there again since 2014, which is named after the patroness of the garden, Dank Augusta .
The City Hostel of the German Youth Hostel Association has over 500 beds available for overnight guests in the house, which was modernized in 2011 and located on the Riehler Aue. Motorhomes can find space in the neighboring motorhome port.

Churches and schools
Until after the Second World War, Riehl was - like all of Cologne - a predominantly Catholic district. The large Catholic parish of St. Engelbert faced a relatively small Protestant parish, which was based in the Kreuzkapelle on Stammheimer Strasse. During the Nazi era, a so-called trust office of the Evangelical Church was housed here. She looked after Jews who had converted to Protestantism . Today the Jewish liberal community Gescher Lamassoret maintains its synagogue in the basement of the Kreuzkapelle.
The local Otfried-Preußler-Grundschule (formerly: Volksschule) in Garthestraße was and is a Catholic denominational school, next to which the community elementary school Garthestraße exists in the same building. There is also a Montessori elementary school on the corner of Stammheimer Straße and Riehler Gürtel.
Until 2014, there was only one secondary school in Riehl. The school building in Brehmstrasse housed a secondary school until 2010 and the Nippes comprehensive school from 2010 to 2014, which is now located in Longerich. A special language school has been located in Brehmstrasse since 2014.

The first zoo school in Europe was opened in 1964 in Cologne Zoo. 2014 has zoo school Cologne her 500-square-foot home in the newly built Clemenshof on the grounds of Cologne Zoo respect. In the zoo school, around 20,000 people are educated outside of school every year through the direct experience of nature. The Botanical Education of students and teachers was linked to the Botanical Garden through the Green School Flora , established in 1984 . The school has been located in the Frauenrosenhof since 1989; however, lessons preferably take place in the garden area, the show greenhouses and the school and snack gardens. The Cologne Circus and Artistic Center (ZAK) has found its place on the Riehler Aue together with the Wibbelstetz children's and youth circus since 2002.
economy
Industry
In the course of industrialization, Riehl - like many other places that were outside Cologne's city walls at the time - became a location for chemical and metalworking plants. One of the first settlements in 1840 was the Wöllner'sche sulfuric acid factory on Riehler Strasse. The plant was founded in 1881 by JW Weiler & Cie. from Ehrenfeld, which in 1887 joined the Dr. E. ter Meer & Cie , Uerdingen merged and later merged into IG Farben . Production in Riehl ended in 1913 and was relocated to Uerdingen in what is now known as Chempark . The later leading German manufacturer of ship propellers, Ostermann & Flüs AG, was founded in Riehl in 1890 and had its first plant on Boltensternstrasse, where propellers weighing up to 20 tons were manufactured. Because of the bad market situation, the business in Riehl was closed in 1931; production in Ehrenfeld was continued until 1992. The Wahlen copper works had been located on Amsterdamer Strasse since 1910, and from 1913 it became Brown, Boveri & Cie. (BBC) belonged. The company was renamed Rheinische Draht- und Kabelwerke GmbH (Rheinkabel) and produced lead cables for high voltage and telephony. The BBC merged it with the Südkabel in 1970 . In 1980 the plant that had belonged to Niehl since 1954 after the change of the district boundaries was closed. Before the First World War, the Siemens-Schuckert-Werke also had a repair facility in Riehl.
The other industries were only of local importance. Heinrich Auer set up a sawmill on Riehler Strasse in 1905. The company, which was operated until the Second World War, had its own port in order to be able to land and process the tree trunks that were transported on rafts. On the side of Riehler Strasse facing the town center, the manufacturer Wilhelm Hilgers set up a pitch factory, which, however, gave way to the zoo expansion as early as 1912. The Delfosse brickworks created a deep clay pit on Boltensternstrasse, which in the 1920s made a terraced construction for the Naumannsiedlung built on the site necessary.
The industry could not establish itself permanently in Riehl and the district increasingly took on the character of a purely residential area.
service
Larger commercial areas were set up in Riehl only for the transport companies and for a wholesale market. In 1889 a horse tram depot of the Cologne Tram Company was built between Riehler Strasse and the Niederländer Ufer. It offered space for 115 horses and 61 carriages. The company was electrified from 1900 and supplemented by a car hall for buses in 1925. In 1956 it went up in the north depot on the corner of Boltensternstrasse and Friedrich-Karl-Strasse in Niehl. In 1961 the wholesale flower market opened in a new building on Barbarastrasse. Today around 100 wholesalers offer cut flowers, potted plants, florist supplies and tree nursery goods there.

In the post-war period, individual administrations settled in Riehl, but without office buildings becoming a part of the city. The pension office Cologne was partially housed from 1950 until its dissolution in 2008. Riehl on the grounds and in the buildings of the former pioneer barracks An der Schanz. Two larger administrative buildings were built in Riehl in the 1980s. In 1984 the Federal Office of Administration moved into a new building on Barbarastraße. Around 1,000 employees work in Riehl for the higher federal authority in the division of the Federal Ministry of the Interior . DEVK (German Railway Supply Fund) has developed into the largest employer in the district and has had its headquarters in a newly constructed building on Riehler Strasse since 1984. The insurance company employs around 1,600 people there. A multicolored illuminated globe by the artist HA Schult has been shining on the insurance building since 2000 .
Parks
Zoological Garden

The Cologne Zoo shows over 9,000 animals from all over the world in a park area of around 20 hectares, which extends from the southern edge to the center of Riehl. The zoo directors have paid special attention to the horticultural design of the facility since the zoo was founded in 1860. They have therefore - in accordance with the changing taste of the times and following the growing understanding of species-appropriate animal husbandry - given the zoological garden a diverse shape, including a system for watercourses and ponds ( e.g. for pelicans and flamingos 1860/70), animal houses in Moorish architecture ( Antelope house 1864), extensive tree planting (around 1880), rock formations (monkey rock 1914), fenced enclosures (including camel park 1936) as well as natural animal houses (jungle house 1985) and big cat areas (including for lions and tigers 1963/64 and leopards and snow leopards 1993/94 ). The presentation of the flora and fauna of entire ecosystems was implemented for the tropical rainforest ( Tropenhaus 2000) and an African river landscape (Hippodom 2010). The elephant park (2004) takes up just under a tenth of the total area of the zoo and is designed as an area interspersed with rocks and filled with Sahara sand.
Flora and Botanical Garden
The botanical garden called " Flora " covers an area of 11.5 hectares on the south-western edge of Riehl. The ornamental and show garden, which was laid out 150 years ago and expanded significantly 100 years ago, shows garden art since historicism . The eye-catcher is the flower ground floor between the main entrance on Lennéplatz and the palatial festival hall. The vanishing point in the northern part of the garden is the Alpinum , which rises behind a water lily pond and over which an artificial waterfall flows. In the last few decades the only planted palm avenue in Germany, the camellia forest , the fragrance garden and the dahlia garden have been created. The flora cultivates over 10,000 types of plants from all vegetation areas, some of which are shown in the greenhouses. Numerous trees, including a sequoia tree and a Lebanon cedar , date from the time the garden was founded and are among the largest of their kind in Germany.
Riehler Aue
The Riehler Aue on the banks of the Rhine received its current topographical shape from the Federal Horticultural Show in 1971 . The area with a total area of around 27 hectares is narrow in the southern part and offers space for a flood dam planted as an avenue . To the north of the Colonia high-rise, it widens like a park to an area planted with loose groups of trees, which was horticultural designed as a typical Rhine meadow landscape. The area behind the flood dam was either already raised in 1955 by filled rubble by around 8 meters to the current dam height and thus brought to a flood-safe level or only from 1969 in preparation for the Federal Garden Show 1971.
From 1971 until the bankruptcy in 1975, the Cologne Tivoli leisure park was located between the Mülheimer Brücke and the Cranach grove . In 1983 the Cologne youth hostel with 400 places was built in the Riehler Aue. Two years later, the old Riehler open-air swimming pool "Rheinlust" located there was closed; A beer garden was laid out on its area.
