In the 19th century Kriel belonged to the municipalities of Efferen and Stotzheim to the mayor's office in Efferen in the district of Cologne. The municipality Kriel next to the eponymous church town belonged Kriel also the places Brown field, Lind and Suelz and residential places capstone, Falkenburg, Kitschburg , Lindeburg and Neuenhof.

In 1846, the Lindenthal residential colony was established in Kriel's municipality . Thanks to its proximity to Cologne city center, just a few years after it was founded, it already had significantly more residents than the core town of Kriel. Sülz, with its more industrial character, developed into a further population center of the community.

The office building of the mayor's office in Efferen was relocated to Falkenburg on the corner of Krieler Strasse and Falkenburgstrasse in 1864. In the last census before incorporation in 1885, the following population figures were found:

Lindenthal 2,758
Sülz 2,495
Braunsfeld 643
Lind 356
Lindenburg 206
Kriel 126
Capstone 37
Neuenhof 19th
Kitsch castle 5
Falkenburg 4th
Municipality of Kriel 6,649

The entire municipality of Kriel was incorporated into the city of Cologne on April 1, 1888, along with other Cologne suburbs.

The place name Kriel is no longer used in everyday life for a district, but lives on in the vernacular as Krieler Veedel as well as in the name of Krieler Straße and the name Krieler Dömchen . A local branch of Sparkasse KölnBonn also operates under the name Filiale Kriel .

The former municipality of Kriel also forms the official district Kriel within the city of Cologne, for which a separate land register is kept.
