geography

Geographical location

To the east of the city center of Kerpen, the Erft (coming from the Eifel) runs with the Erftauen and divides the community, further east is the Ville . The Neffelbach runs from Nörvenich coming to the northeast and is still flowing to Kerpener municipality in the Erft. To the south of Kerpen, isolated foothills of the northern Eifel still protrude into the lowlands. Kerpen is also in the Jülich-Zülpicher Börde .

Neighboring communities

In the north Kerpen borders on the district town of Bergheim , in the north-west on the city of Elsdorf , in the west on the municipality of Merzenich and in the south-west on Nörvenich (both in the district of Düren ). In the south Kerpen borders on Erftstadt , in the southeast on Hürth and in the east on Frechen .

Denomination statistics

The urban average in 2014 only 47% (2011: 49%) of the population believed that they were Roman Catholic and 15.4% (2011: 16%) believed that they were Protestant. 37.6% of the population were statistically recorded as persons without information on their denominations (if available) (2011: 35%). The proportionally most “Catholic” districts in the urban area are Manheim (13.8% above the urban average), Buir (+ 11.8%), Mödrath (+ 11%) and Blatzheim (+ 10.7%). The Catholic population is the least represented in the large districts of Sindorf (6.4% below the total city share), Kerpen (−2.8%) and Horrem (−2.2%). The Protestant population is proportionally most strongly represented in Neu-Bottenbroich, Horrem and Buir. For the first time in 2014 in Sindorf, and thus also for the first time in a district of the Kolping City, the Catholic population was no longer the largest population group: 43.9% of Sindorf residents are now listed in the population statistics as people without information on their denomination - this group is thus 3.3 percent larger in Sindorf than the Catholic population group.

history

Kerpen was first mentioned in a document in 871 under the name "Kerpinna". After the Battle of Worringen in 1288, Kerpen became a Brabant enclave in the middle of the area ruled by the Electorate of Cologne and the County of Jülich , which helped Kerpen to become truly independent. The Duchy of Burgundy took over the Brabant inheritance, which passed to the House of Habsburg after the death of Charles the Bold in 1477 . When King Charles V divided the empire among his sons in 1522, Kerpen and the Netherlands fell to the King of Spain . Kerpen remained Spanish until the Peace of Utrecht in 1712 - in the 1970s the now defunct inn “King of Spain” in today's Stiftsstraße reminded of it.

Kerpen then became an independent imperial county under the Count of Schaesberg with the Lommersum that was lordly connected to him . With the seizure of the Left Bank of the Rhine by French revolutionary troops , Kerpen lost its independence in 1794, but became the seat of the canton in 1798. The Mairien Blatzheim, Buir, Kerpen, Sindorf and Türnich belonged to this canton . The canton of Kerpen was assigned to the arrondissement of Cologne in the Rur department . In 1815, after the Congress of Vienna , Kerpen became part of the Prussian Rhine Province in the Bergheim (Erft) district . Kerpen received city ​​rights in 1941 .

Today's Kerpen was created on January 1, 1975 from the then city of Kerpen and seven previously independent municipalities as part of a municipal reform through the Cologne Act of 1974. Most of the city districts are still separated from one another by large open spaces and have therefore retained a certain degree of independence.

The districts of Mödrath and Bottenbroich were relocated in the 1950s due to the Frechen open-cast lignite mine . The residents of the old Mödrath were assigned a building area in the northeast of Kerpen, the residents of Bottenbroich were assigned a building area in the east of Horrem. A remnant of the resettlement is the prefix "Neu-" in the name of Neu-Bottenbroich.

The Manheim district will give way to the Hambach opencast mine by around 2022 . In a vote, the residents chose Kerpen-Dickbusch as the resettlement site. The new Dickbusch location has been under construction since spring 2012. Since 2016, residents who have moved in can also purchase a plot of land.

Town twinning

The partnership association takes care of the relationships between clubs, schools and politics. The partnership with St. Vith emerged from the relationship between the Reichsbahn employees who were relocated from the St. Vith railway junction to the new Mödrath junction (on the railway line to the Ahr) under the Versailles Treaty . The city has maintained the partnership since 1975.

The partnership with Oświęcim / Auschwitz emerged in 1993 from the relationships between the respective secondary schools, which were established after Poland opened to the West in 1991.

Coat of arms, banner and flag

coat of arms

Wappen von Kerpen
 Blazon : “Split and divided at the front, a red-tongued and armored golden lion at the top in black; below in silver a red-tongued, golden crowned and armored, double-tailed red lion, behind in gold a red tower with hipped roof and open, black portcullis. "

The city of Kerpen was granted the right to carry a coat of arms, a flag and a banner with a certificate from the District President in Cologne dated September 10, 1976.

Justification of the coat of arms: The Limburg and Brabant lions are taken from the Kerpen jury's seal of 1306, they indicate the Kerpen territorial history: since Kerpen belonged to Brabant since the end of the 13th century together with the former Limburg Lommersum, the Limburg lion is also part of the Brabant lion to see. In the back, a red gate tower with an open portcullis is shown in gold as a symbol for Kerpen Castle.

Economy and Infrastructure

economy

Kerpen and its districts are still characterized by the lignite industry in the vicinity of the Rhenish lignite mining area with opencast mines and briquette factories. The Frechen opencast mine in the east is charred - there is a recultivation area with the Marienfeld known from the 2005 World Youth Day - (smaller fields such as the Louise mine near Brüggen / Türnich with briquette factories I and II were already exhausted in 1952), the new Hambach opencast mine moves closer to the district of Manheim. The only reminder of the Sindorfer Glashütte from 1911 to 1978 is Hüttenstrasse with its former company apartments . The lignite power stations on the Villerücken are not far and also offer Kerpeners work. The car accessories company Visteon has its European headquarters with approx. 770 employees in Sindorf. European significance and the NATO - military airbase Nörvenich . The air force soldiers stationed there are housed in the Kerpen Boelcke barracks and in the Nörvenich barracks Haus Hardt . As announced on October 26, 2011, the Boelcke barracks in Kerpen was closed in 2015. By 2017 [obsolete] the number of 980 soldiers employed at the air base is to increase to 1,110 in 2011. In addition, the cable network operator Unitymedia has its technical center in Sindorf. In addition to the German headquarters of the IT system service provider Computacenter with 4,700 employees in Germany, the company Boll & Kirch Filterbau with its approx. 600 employees is one of the largest employers in Sindorf. The retail trade in Kerpen is also not to be underestimated.

traffic

The converted Sindorf S-Bahn station on the Cologne – Aachen line
Horrem station: new station building

Kerpen is located at the motorway junction ( Kreuz Kerpen ) of federal motorways 4 and 61 .

The federal highways 264 and 477 cross in Blatzheim . The districts are developed internally and with the neighboring communities by bus routes operated by the Rhein-Erft-Verkehrsgesellschaft in the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg (VRS), which are supplemented by a collective taxi system. There are a total of three motorway exits in the city and three very close by in the immediate vicinity. The Aachener Straße from Cologne ends directly between Kerpen-Sindorf and Bergheim-Ahe.

In Horrem station , the largest station in the city, at the junction of the Cologne – Aachen – Brussels line , the Erftbahn branches off to Bedburg via Bergheim. In addition to regional trains, there is also the S-Bahn , which runs the Cologne – Düren section.

The first CO 2 -free train station in Germany has been in Horrem since mid-2014 . Since the old station building was dilapidated and no longer up-to-date, the “green” station was built in Horrem. The building has a photovoltaic system with an annual output of 31,000 kilowatt hours. Energy for heating and cooling is generated by means of geothermal energy and solar thermal energy is used to heat water . The public toilets are supplied with water from the rainwater collected on the green roof . The combination of LED lighting and daylight in conjunction with the other measures ensures that this station does not produce any CO 2 . A pilot project that will certainly also be used in other cities in the future.

Today's city of Kerpen has a total of three train stations; Buir, Horrem and Sindorf. The city ​​center of Kerpen no longer has a rail connection. In 1913 the Bergheimer Kreisbahn was nationalized. In the 1950s, parts of the line (especially the Mödrath station) had to give way to an open-cast mine. The line was gradually dismantled in the 1960s.

The city is connected to several cycle routes:

  • The 524 km long moated castle route connects more than 130 castles on the edge of the Eifel and in the Cologne Bay .
  • The 480 km long Kaiser Route runs from Aachen to Paderborn and is named after Emperor Charlemagne , who resided in Aachen. The route is based on the presumed route that the imperial army took in 775 on its crusade into the Saxon territory .
  • The Erft cycle path runs along the Erft for around 110 kilometers . From the source in Nettersheim - Holzmülheim to the confluence with the Rhine in Neuss .
  • The German Football Route NRW runs 800 kilometers across North Rhine-Westphalia. So far it is the only adventure bike path in North Rhine-Westphalia that has been laid out under a popular and transnational theme. The "legend route of German football" opens up next to football cult locations such as the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen or the Borusseum in Dortmund's Westfalenstadion also the tourist highlights in NRW.
  • The 265 km long cycle path network of the valley route opens up interesting tourist spots in North Rhine-Westphalia on a family-friendly route.
  • On the initiative of students from the city of Kerpen high school and with the support of the bicycle-friendly city of Kerpen (since 2012) and sponsors, a 20 km (with an extension 30 km) long circular route was signposted in the anniversary year of 200 years of Adolph Kolping , which leads to numerous memorial stations from the life of Kolping which are also sights of the city.
