Meckenheim is also known as "Apple City", "Tree Nursery City", "Rose City" and is popularly known as "Meck'm", "the green gateway to the Ahr and Eifel" or "Mecktown" because the area around the city is nearby von Ahr and Eifel is characterized by tree nurseries, rose fields and extensive orchards. The tree nurseries, apple growing and other orchards are important economic factors. One street in Alt-Meckenheim is advertised as a “fruit mile” because of the number of fruit shops. Sugar beet syrup , the " Grafschafter Goldsaft ", is produced in the village . The sugar beets for this are harvested in the vicinity of the city. After the decision in favor of Bonn as the permanent seat of government, the New Center was created between Alt-Meckenheim and Merl . Meckenheim became the “Bonn dormitory city”, as an increasing number of Bonn federal employees were able to take up residence here from the 1970s.

In the north-west of the city there is a large commercial and industrial area, the Kottenforst industrial park.
history
In the area around Meckenheim, traces of settlement from around 4000 BC were found. Found.
At the time of the Roman Empire, the Eifel aqueduct was built , which carried drinking water from the area around Nettersheim into the Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium (today's Cologne ) and crossed the Swist valley on a brick vaulted or aqueduct bridge in the Meckenheimer Feldflur . The aqueduct bridge over the Swist was once approx. 1,400 m long and up to 10 m high. Due to stone robbery in the Middle Ages, nothing can be seen of the bridge today, as it was used as a quarry for churches, monasteries and castles from the 12th century onwards; the aqueduct marble in particular was very popular. A reconstruction of an aqueduct pillar is located near the connecting road Meckenheim-Lüftelberg (K53).
After Gaius Julius Caesar's campaigns against the Eburones , there is evidence of around 20 individual settlements, such as farms, military facilities, graves and the remains of a matron shrine.
Around 450 AD the Franks settled the area around today's Meckenheim. The current place name is derived from them, as can be seen from the typical Franconian name ending -heim . They are archaeologically tangible primarily through the more than 300 uncovered graves. From the 7th or 8th century there is also evidence of pottery.
Meckenheim was first mentioned in a document in 853. The priest Herigar donated his property in Meckenheim to the St. Cassius monastery in Bonn. The possessions were the Fronhof, which was near the Church of St. John the Baptist. This made the Cassius Foundation in Bonn one of the most important communities in the Archdiocese of Cologne. The second important pillar of the city of Meckenheim was the Mariengradstift in Cologne , which was landlord and court lord at that time and since 1059 had over 1000 acres of land with the Niederhof and Burghof, as well as 21 feudal bearers.
Around 1300 the city was surrounded by a fortification with a city wall, double moat, rampart and hedge, in which there were two gates. The city wall was torn down in 1832. From 1300 there was a castle in the village owned by the Mariengraden monastery in Cologne. It was given as a fief to the Junkers von Meckenheim. The engraver Israhel van Meckenem came from this family . In 1608 the castle fell back to the monastery, which sold it in 1726 due to financial difficulties. Most recently it was owned by the city of Meckenheim. In 1935 the city council decided to make them available to the NSDAP and its branches. Badly damaged in the war, the mansion and associated buildings were demolished in 1947.
The city rights were Meckenheim on 28 July 1636 by the Cologne Archbishop Ferdinand of Bavaria awarded. The place remained a center of agriculture.
On March 28, 1787, a fire with serious consequences destroyed the city.
Between 1794 and 1815 the territorial affiliation of the city changed twice: First, the Rhineland was annexed by France , making Meckenheim part of the French state. The city lost its city rights through the French community (cf. Rheinbach ). In 1815 the Rhineland and with it the city of Meckenheim fell to Prussia . It was not until 1929 that Meckenheim was given the right to use the title “Landgemeinde Stadt Meckenheim” again.
On September 9, 1944, an ammunition train exploded after being shot at by low-level aircraft near the train station. Numerous missiles flew into the city, exploded there and wreaked havoc. On January 20, 1945, an ammunition train standing at the station was attacked with artillery shells by Allied airmen.
In bombing raids on March 2nd and 5th, 1945, around 250 people were killed and around 70% of the houses in the city center were destroyed. The 9th US Panzer Division , on whose advance route Meckenheim was, reached the city and Meckenheim on the afternoon of March 6, 1945 and captured the Ludendorff Bridge in Remagen the next day .
Some scenes from the film Die Brücke von Remagen take place in Meckenheim.
Due to the proximity to the federal capital Bonn, the population rose sharply, especially in the 1970s and 1980s, and remained almost constant even after the Bundestag and federal government moved to Berlin .
Incorporations
During the municipal reorganization in North Rhine-Westphalia on August 1, 1969, the neighboring villages of Altendorf, Ersdorf, Lüftelberg and Merl were incorporated.

coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : "In silver (white) a black cross, topped with a blue orb with a golden (yellow) cross and fittings." |
| Foundation of the coat of arms: The cross refers to the old sovereign, the Archbishop of Cologne , who granted Meckenheim city rights in 1636. The interpretation of the orb is not unique, maybe he recalls the Erbtruchsessenamt of Wittelsbach or Princess Richeza that - Meckenheim to the Archbishop - as heir to the Lorraine Palatine Anno of Cologne handed. |
