history

The name Raderberg goes back to cleared forest or the old Marterberg execution site. Here, in 1225, Count Friedrich was tied to a wheel as a punishment after he had killed his cousin, Archbishop Engelbert of Cologne . In 1174 this area was made available to the city's Jews in return for an annual fee from the provost of St. Severin , Konrad von Blankenheim. They built the old Jewish cemetery here . The names Judenbüchel and Am todten Juden were created . The Jewish population of Cologne was killed on Bartholomew's Night from August 23 to 24, 1349, and on Bartholomew's Day in 1424 the Cologne city council ordered that the Jews be banished from Cologne.

Politically, Raderberg belonged to the office of Brühl in the Electorate of Cologne since the Middle Ages . In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the Rhineland and the Mairie Rondorf was created in the canton of Brühl in the Arrondissement de Cologne . After the Wars of Liberation in 1815, Raderberg belonged to the mayor's office of Rondorf in the Cologne district . In 1888 Raderberg became a district of Cologne. With Raderberg, the places Arnoldshöhe and Mannsfeld , which were created in the 19th century, were incorporated into Cologne. They grew together with Raderberg to what is now the Raderberg district.

In 1923 the Jewish community in Cologne was able to acquire part of the old Jewish cemetery and re-establish it. But in 1936 the remains of the old Jewish cemetery, the Judenbüchel , were abandoned and between 1937 and 1940 the new Cologne wholesale market designed by the architect Theodor Teichen was built over. Today a memorial plaque on the main gate of the main hall of the wholesale market, which is under monument protection, reminds of the old Jewish cemetery. Raderberg has been part of the Rodenkirchen district since 1975 .

After smallholders first settled in Raderberg in the middle of the 19th century, small and medium-sized factories were added in the 1870s. Because of the low land prices in the Raderberg area and the good connection to the city of Cologne by a horse-drawn tram, the first large workers' settlements emerged early on, the Wilhelmsruh settlement from 1888 and the Stollwerck company settlement from around 1902.

The Embassy of the State of Eritrea in the Federal Republic of Germany was based in Raderberg from the mid-1990s to the beginning of 2002. (→ Entry in the message list ).

There are several large car dealerships and numerous dealers in auto parts and accessories on the Raderberggürtel. The townscape has been changing since 2012 with the conversion of the former industrial sites DuPont, Löring and the laundry into residential areas and the number of residents is increasing. With the decision to move the wholesale market to the outskirts of Cologne-Marsdorf in 2020, the district continues to be in a state of upheaval due to its proximity to the city center. The Parkstadt Süd project with over a thousand residential units is planned for the wholesale market area and the organization of the Federal Garden Show is under discussion.

Transport links

Local public transport

From 1913 tram line 7 drove over Brühler Strasse through Raderberg, the route of which was converted to articulated buses in 1955.

By being built north-south light rail Raderberg receives a connection to the rail of the KVB . Line 17 then comes from the main train station via Bonner Strasse , creating the Marktstrasse , Cäsarstrasse and Bonner Strasse / Gürtel stops in Raderberg .

Bus route 133 has been switched to e-buses since December 3, 2016 . Up to eight electrically powered articulated buses are in regular service every day on the approximately seven-kilometer route between Breslauer Platz in the city and the Südfriedhof in Zollstock.

In the more distant future, an S-Bahn stop is to be built at the former Bonntor freight station . The extension of the Gürtel light rail line 13 is another option.

Road traffic

There are direct connections via the main roads to the Köln-Süd motorway junction of the A 4 and A 555 and to the “Köln-Eifeltor” motorway junction of the A 4. The B 51 , which runs from Cologne to Brühl and borders the city, runs through the neighboring Raderthal Connection to the A 553 offers.
