building

The Mülheim house was located in Cologne-Riehl directly on the Rhine next to the old Mülheim ship bridge at the intersection of what was then Riehler Strasse with the Holländer Ufer, not far from the Mülheimer Heide garrison parade ground and the Franzosen-Schanze. Today the west portal of the Mülheimer Brücke , An der Schanz, Kuhweg. According to the land maps, the property consisted of two buildings around 1900. Until its demolition in 1929, it was operated as a restaurant and excursion bar with a beer garden and was part of the so-called Golden Corner of Cologne .

history

As early as the year 1200, the Count von Berg had ferry rights near Mülheim. From 1268 the Altenberg monastery took over this right from Count Adolf V von Berg and had the ferry service with a boat . From 1700, a ferry service from Haus Berg for an annual lease of 400 Reichstalers followed, which was carried out with a Gierponte using the current between Mülheim and the Mülheimer Häuschen.

At this traffic junction outside the ring walls of Cologne on the territory of the Electoral Archbishopric of Cologne , the Mülheimer little house existed as a courtyard before the First Coalition War . Since when, in what capacity and who the owner was is not known. Presumably there was a mule track here and it was a towing station . After the invasion of the French revolutionary army in 1794, the Archbishopric of Cologne was reorganized. As a result, the Mairie Longerich was re-established from 1800 onwards and, as evidenced by various locations, villages and individual farms, also included the Mülheimer house located directly on the Chemin de Mulheim and referred to as Hausgen on a map from 1806 .

On November 14, 1813, when the Prussian army tried to drive the French out of Riehl, a confrontation broke out in which landing Prussian troops met French soldiers stationed there at the Mülheimer house and fled without fighting. Another meeting at the same location is reported on January 1, 1814. With the takeover of the Rhineland by Prussia in 1815, the mayor's office Longerich with its six districts Nippes, Merheim, Mauenheimscher Hof, Weidenpesch, Riehl and Mülheimer Häuschen became part of the newly formed district of Cologne.

On November 9, 1817, Wilhelm Coenen from Krefeld was murdered at the Mülheimer Häuschen. The investigations against the Cologne merchant Peter Anton Fonk, who had rented a cellar there to store brandy , and his acquittal in 1822 caused quite a stir.

In the topographical-statistical-historical lexicon of Germany, a house with 15 residents is named for Mülheimer Häuschen for 1846. In 1886, Riehl and the Mülheimer little house were separated from the Longerich community and incorporated into Cologne on April 1, 1888.

Due to its exposed location between the ferry pier and the parade ground, the Mülheimer little house developed into a popular excursion destination with the Franco-German War from 1870, also due to the population's increasing enthusiasm for the military. The construction of the ship's bridge in 1885 as well as the station of the same name and horse depot of the Cologne Tram Company in 1889 (electrified in 1902 and today H Slabystraße of lines 13 and 18) promoted this development in the following years. In addition, the first Cologne Rheinlust open-air swimming pool (now the Rhein Summer Garden Swimming Pool ) opened next door in 1902 .

Riehl was regularly inundated during floods and its development was hampered as a result. After the record flood of January 1, 1926 with a water level of 10.26 m, the City Council of Cologne decided to create a flood area to relieve Riehl and Mülheim during floods. For this purpose, a dam was built in connection with the construction of the Mülheim Bridge along the Dutch bank. In the course of these construction measures, the outdoor pool was relocated and the Mülheim house demolished between 1927 and 1929. The last known owner was Clemens Glasmacher.
