Pützchen-Bechlinghoven is a district of the federal city of Bonn in the Beuel district , which lies at the foot of the Ennert . It has around 5100 inhabitants.
Origin of name
The name Pützchen means “Brünnchen” (or “source”) in the Ripuarian dialect . It is derived from the Latin "Puteus", well , or French "Puits" (in Ripuarian "Pütz") and refers to the Adelheidis fountain , which is said to go back to a miracle of St. Adelheid . According to the legend of the spring miracle of Pützchen, the abbess of the neighboring Vilich Abbey , Adelheid (960-1015), knelt down in the open field during a procession between 999 and 1005 AD during a great drought in the Rhineland and asked, leaning on her her abbess staff for divine help. A spring sprang up at the point where their staff struck the ground. Since the alum-containing water of the fountain was ascribed special healing powers and numerous miraculous healings were reported, the place soon developed into a popular destination for pilgrimages, in connection with which the annual Pützchen market has its origins.

history
Archaeologists from the Rhineland Regional Council have been investigating an area near Bechlinghoven since 2007 where the remains of a Merovingian settlement are located. So far (2013) 94 building floor plans have been identified and excavated on the 17 hectare site on both sides of the federal highway 56 , which has not been built over . The complex is considered one of the largest known settlements of this era in Germany. The excavations revealed that the site had previously been used as a training camp by the Roman military. Exemplary pointed trenches were uncovered, in which stone balls from attack exercises were found.
In the 17th century, hermits looked after the pilgrims in the Adelheidis chapel at the Adelheidis fountain. At the beginning of the 18th century, the Carmelite monastery of St. Joseph (completed in 1706) and the church (consecrated in 1760) were built to cope with the increasing influx of believers. After the secularization , the monastery buildings were used in many ways. Among other things, part of the Pützchen sanatorium was located here , on the site of which the Sankt-Adelheid-Gymnasium of the Herz-Jesu-Kloster St. Adelheid was built in 1925 .

The 5-day fair Pützchens Markt , which dates back to 1367, is the largest in the region and a great crowd puller for the district. In summer the Ennertbad outdoor pool is a very popular place to go.
