Mondorf [ ˈmɔndɔɐ̯f ] is a district of Niederkassel in the North Rhine-Westphalian Rhein-Sieg district with around 6500 inhabitants. The village, first mentioned in 795 in the documents of the Cassius Foundation in Bonn as Munnendorp , goes back to a settlement founded in the Frankish period on the site of the later Catholic Church. The place name Mondorf is justified in the situation in the mouth area of the victory ; the original forms of the name Munnenthorp and Mundorp mean "Mündungsdorf". Mondorf was an independent municipality until 1969.
history
The Mondorf Catholic Church of St. Laurentius was built after the previous chapel was destroyed after the Thirty Years War at the end of the 17th century.
The municipality of Mondorf belonged to the mayor's office of Niederkassel. In 1885 it had 397 hectares , of which 268 hectares were arable and 18 hectares were forest. In 1885 the municipality had 242 places to live (including uninhabited) and 261 households. and 1,314 inhabitants (671 men and 643 women). Except for 25 citizens of Jewish faith and one Protestant faith, the community was Catholic with its own parish.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Mondorf was primarily a place for basket weavers. The Mondorfer basket weaving cooperative looked after this. At that time, 128 of the households lived mainly from basket weaving. At 63, the occupation was day laborers and only in third place were farm workers with 58 families. Shipping gave 11 families acquisition, including two ferrymen. Five families of the Engels clan described themselves as full-time fishermen. In addition to six innkeepers, there were 14 bricklayers, three blacksmiths, each a brickworker, ten traders, 12 shoemakers, five tailors, four brewers, two carpenters, a cooper , two butchers, a baker, a locksmith, a decorator , a plasterer , a wheelwright , three house painters, a restaurateur, two carpenters and two seamstresses. Only one machinist and four factory workers were employed in the industry. In addition to employees in administration (pastor, sexton, vicar , rendant , five teachers and a trainee lawyer , an accountant and a night watchman and a midwife ) there were 17 families without trade and four pensioners.
In Mondorf's Lerchenstraße there is a Jewish cemetery for the 40 to 80-member Jewish community that was occupied from the beginning of the 19th century. The synagogue was destroyed in the course of the November pogroms on the night of November 9-10, 1938.
On August 1, 1969, Mondorf was incorporated into Niederkassel.
In the 1970s, the Mondorf Rhine port was built, which is now mainly used for tourism (berths for yachts and sports boats). In 1994 the operation of the Rhine ferry Mondorf - Graurheindorf was resumed, which has its origins in the 15th century at the latest.
