history

Similar to Kerpen-Horrem or Dormagen-Horrem , the name Orr is derived from the Old High German name Horo ( swamp ). The first written mention dates from the year 1096. Like the large estates in the area, the farms that made up the town were fiefs of Cologne monasteries and did not come into private ownership until the end of the 18th and 19th centuries. Belonging to France since 1794, Orr became part of the Prussian mayorship of Stommeln in 1814 and thus became part of the Pulheim office from 1934 . From 1964 Orr belonged to the community of Sinnersdorf and together with it became part of the new community of Pulheim on January 1, 1975.

Attractions

The Orr manor is noteworthy . It was built in 1838 according to plans by the Cologne cathedral builder Ernst Friedrich Zwirner and fell into disrepair in the 20th century.
