Alfter
The village of Alfter was first mentioned in a document in 1067. At that time it was called Alvetra . The place was later called Halechtre (1116), Alftera (1196) and Alffter (1618). Until 1969 Alfter was an independent municipality with the districts Birrekoven and Olsdorf. The submerged town of Pelz belonged to Alfter and only survives under the street name “Pelzstraße”. At times Roisdorf also belonged to the glory of Alfter in the cologne office of Brühl . Alfter has been the northernmost part of the municipality of Alfter since 1969. With 8934 inhabitants it is the largest part of the municipality.
The earth wall system called " Hangmotte ", a former refugee castle, is located between Görreshof Street in the south and Buchholzweg in the north (south of Buchholz Manor ).

The Castle Alfter came (at the latest) from the 12th century (first mentioned in 1117, Mr de Halechtre). From 1188 onwards, the Electoral Cologne Hereditary Marshal's Office was connected to the property. In the 15th century it came into the possession of the Salm-Reifferscheidt-Dyck family. After the castle was destroyed by fire in 1468, Alfter Castle was given its present form in the 18th century. In close proximity to the castle is the Catholic Church of St. Matthew, as well as a building that, after primary school, has housed the public library of St. Matthew since 1992, and a half-timbered house whose history dates back to the 17th century.
The Jewish cemetery (Beth Olam - House of Eternity) on the border with Bornheim was first mentioned in a document in 1719, according to the memorial stone. The Jewish community in Alfter (it had existed since at least the beginning of the 17th century) was wiped out by the Nazi regime. Alfter took over the care of the cemetery in 1949. It has been a listed building since 1987.
The smaller towns have now grown together with Alfter Birrekoven and Olsdorf, both of whom were never independent. Birrekoven is located in the southwest of Alfter near Gielsdorf. Between this and Birrekoven lie the Mirbach and some fields. Birrekoven has its own small chapel " Mariä Sacrifice ". The “Judas Thaddäus Chapel” is also located above Birrekoven. The Johannishof located above on the Olsdorf Heath belongs to Olsdorf. The Johannishof was a large farm that was managed by Halfen . Today it is the seat of the Alanus University . Olsdorf was also written as Alsdorf in earlier times .
Gielsdorf
The place on the foothills with 1966 inhabitants was originally shaped by agriculture , until the beginning of the 20th century also by viticulture . Vegetable growing businesses can still be found in the plain on the border with Bonn. The fruit growing that was characteristic of the foothills in the past has almost completely disappeared. In particular, the former vineyard slopes in Gielsdorf were built on on a large scale.
In the town center there are some beautiful half-timbered courtyards in addition to the Catholic parish church of St. Jakobus . These include, among other things, the former court of the elector , where his governor lived. Gielsdorf Castle , a Cologne fief of the Counts of Sayn , used to be on the site of the governor's court . Below the church is the Zehnthof as the original property of the St. Cassius Monastery in Bonn . For centuries it has been owned by the nobility, including the von Groote, von Siersdorf and von Geyr families.
Gielsdorf is home to a music association, the only remaining bachelor association in the community, a fire fighting group of the volunteer fire brigade , the Gielsdorf Möhnen and the sponsoring association “Dorfgemeinschaftshaus Gielsdorf”.

Roisdorf came to "Mairie Waldorf". At that time, the border with the Rur département ran directly on the northern border of Alfter . After the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna (1815), the region became part of the Kingdom of Prussia , the Mairie was transferred to the mayor's office in Oedekoven in the Bonn district , which also included the Bonn districts of Buschdorf and Lessenich / Meßdorf .
The mayor's office Oedekoven (from 1927 "Amt Oedekoven") went into the Amt Duisdorf in 1937 . The municipality of Alfter was created on August 1, 1969 in the course of the municipal regional reform from the formerly independent municipalities of Alfter, Gielsdorf, Impekoven, Oedekoven and Witterschlick. In 1973/74 the newly formed community of Alfter received a new town hall, which was built on a slight eastern slope as a three-wing, glazed structure in reinforced concrete skeleton construction based on designs by the Stieldorf planning group .
