Sankt Augustin is a town in the Rhein-Sieg district , North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany . It was created during the North Rhine-Westphalian regional reform in 1969 through the dissolution of the Menden office and is located in the greater Bonn area .

Sankt Augustin belongs to the economic region Bonn / Rhein-Sieg, as well as to the science region Bonn and with over 59,000 inhabitants it is the second largest city in the Rhein-Sieg district.
geography
Sankt Augustin is located in the southeast of the Cologne Bay , more precisely in the Siegniederung (or the adjacent central terrace ), a largely flat area between the Sieg estuary in the Rhine and the foothills of the Bergisches Land in the north and the Pleiser Hügelland in the south, where the city is located has a stake. In the west it borders without geographical separation on the Bonn district of Beuel , in the north the lower reaches of the Sieg forms a natural border with Troisdorf and Siegburg , and the beginning of the hill country roughly marks the borders with Hennef in the east, Königswinter in the southeast and Bonn in the southwest . The urban area reaches its highest point at 151 m above sea level. NHN in the Birlinghovener Forest near Birlinghoven Castle , its lowest at 48 m above sea level. NHN on the Siegufer near the Meindorf district.
The districts of Hangelar , Sankt Augustin-Ort , Niederpleis and Mülldorf lie along the Bonn – Siegburg line. They form the main part of the city, which is built on throughout, with the exception of smaller open spaces. Only Menden and Meindorf in the north, Buisdorf in the east and Birlinghoven in the south are set apart by larger meadows, fields and, in the case of Birlinghovens, a forest. In Niederpleis the Sieg receives its last left tributary, the Pleisbach .
City structure
Sankt Augustin consists of eight city districts which, according to the North Rhine-Westphalian municipal code , have their own mayor .
| Borough | Residents (1) | Area in km² |
|---|---|---|
| Birlinghoven | 1.952 | 3.2 |
| Buisdorf | 3,275 | 3.5 |
| Hangelar (with Niederberg) | 9,195 | 6.7 |
| My village | 2,929 | 2.1 |
| Menden | 10,229 | 7.2 |
| Garbage village | 9,386 | 2.1 |
| Niederpleis (with Schmerbroich) | 12,315 | 6.9 |
| Sankt Augustin place | 6,556 | 2.6 |
- Largest north-south extension: (Menden - Birlinghoven) approx. 6.8 km
- Largest east-west extension: (Meindorf - Buisdorf) approx. 8.5 km
- Length of the city limits: 30.86 km.
geology
Most of the city's subsoil consists of geologically young (first formed in the Quaternary ) gravel and sand deposits. The surface forms a 0.5 to 2 m thick layer of high-tide clay, which is washed away near the rivers and streams, so the alluvial soil is poorer in nutrients. In the higher elevations in the southeast, sands, clays and tuffs dominate with a loess layer up to 15 m thick, which is very suitable for agriculture .
Population development
| year | 1871 | 1939 | 1955 | 1969 | 1977 | 2000 | 2010 | 2018 |

history
middle Ages
In the period from the 6th to the 9th century, the Franconian territories were divided into so-called Gaue (administrative districts). Today's Sankt Augustinian urban area was part of the Auelgau , which was first mentioned in documents in 722/723. The seat of the Comes / Count was the castle on the Michaelsberg in Siegburg .
In the middle of the 11th century there was a power struggle between Count Palatine Heinrich and Archbishop Anno II of Cologne. When Anno defeated the Count Palatine, he founded the Benedictine monastery on Michaelsberg, today's Michaelsberg Abbey .
In the Middle Ages, today's urban area was a constant bone of contention between the ruling princes. The disputes between the Counts of Sayn (Westerwald) and the Count of Berg (headquarters in Altenberg, later Burg on the Wupper) resulted in the fact that in 1363 on the original pledge the rule Blankenberg by dishonouring to Count Wilhelm II. Von Berg fell .
At the end of the 15th century, almost all of today's Rhein-Sieg district on the right bank of the Rhine belonged to the Duchy of Berg . This duchy was administratively divided into offices. The offices were in turn divided into honors .
The Buisdorf, Mülldorf and Niederpleis monks were part of the Niederpleis parish . Meindorf, Obermenden and Niedermenden to the parish of Menden, Holzlar and Hangelar to the parish of Vilich and the Honnschaft Birlinghoven to the parish of Stieldorf. They all belonged to the Blankenberg office .
19th century
As part of the formation of the Rhine Confederation , the Duchy of Berg came under French rule in 1806. In 1808 Napoleon carried out a radical territorial reorganization . The so-called municipal administration was introduced. At the head was now a Maire, a mayor who ran the municipal business. After the withdrawal of the French troops in 1813, a provisional leadership existed for two years.
In 1815 the present city area was awarded to the Kingdom of Prussia by the Congress of Vienna . Within the Rhineland it belonged to the province of Jülich-Kleve-Berg and to the district of Siegburg (merged with the district of Uckerath to form the district of Siegburg in 1825) and was now called the Menden Mayor (from 1927 Menden (Rhineland) ).
20th century
The 20th century has seen several changes of communal area in what is now the Sankt Augustinian urban area.
On July 1, 1906, the place Zange moved from the community of Mülldorf to the city of Siegburg . In 1927 the Deichhaus district, which until then belonged to the Buisdorf community , was also handed over to the city of Siegburg. Both communities receive financial compensation from the city of Siegburg for the loss of territory.
In 1935 the municipalities of Ober- and Niedermenden were merged to form Menden (Rhineland).
The following communities now belonged to the Menden district: Buisdorf, Hangelar, Meindorf, Menden, Mülldorf, Niederpleis and Holzlar. Friedrich-Wilhelms-Hütte , which belonged to the municipality of Menden, fell to Troisdorf during the last communal reorganization in 1969 and Holzlar to Bonn. Birlinghoven belonged to the Stieldorf community until 1969 .
The Siegburger Bahn of the Bonn light rail went into operation in 1911. The St. Augustin Mission House has existed since 1913.
During the Second World War, today's urban area of Sankt Augustin was badly damaged by aerial bombs and later by artillery. A considerable part of the destruction was caused by German artillery in the last weeks of the war, when Sieg was the southern front line of the Ruhr basin .
In the 30s and 50s there were already unsuccessful attempts to merge the municipalities of the Menden office into one municipality. In the course of the regional reform in 1969 ( Bonn Law ), it was discussed to divide the area of the Menden office into the cities of Bonn, Siegburg and Troisdorf. However, preference was given to re-establishing the community of Sankt Augustin on August 1, 1969 from the previously independent communities of Buisdorf, Hangelar, Meindorf, Menden (Rhineland) and Siegburg-Mülldorf. Parts of the Beuel ( Bonn district ), Holzlar and Stieldorf were added.
In the 1970s, a city center with town hall, market plate, shopping center and numerous other office and commercial buildings were built in the area of the Sankt Augustin-Ort district . In the 1980s, a hotel and a medical center were added to the city center. Outside the Marktplatten-Ring there are also the post office, the Sankt Augustin tax office, the Rhein-Sieg high school with auditorium, the children's clinic with a heart center and a home for the elderly.
In the 1970s the Niederpleis school center was built with a six-way sports hall, an indoor swimming pool, a secondary and secondary school and the Albert Einstein high school.
On September 6, 1977, the municipality of Sankt Augustin received city rights.
The A 560 motorway was built along the old Siegdamm in the mid-1980s . It has been connecting the A 3 with the A 59 since 1988 .
As another major construction project, the branch of the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences, founded in 1995, was put into operation. The main building was opened in 1999, an extension in 2005.

Until the new election on May 14th, Hans Jaax, a member of the SPD state parliament appointed by the Ministry of the Interior, provisionally led the city from Troisdorf .

Blazon : “The city coat of arms shows in the shield head in silver (white) a striding, double-tailed, blue-armored, blue-tongued and blue-crowned red lion; underneath a field with 16 boxes from blue to silver (white). " |
| Foundation of the coat of arms: The municipalities of Buisdorf , Hangelar, Meindorf , Menden (Rhineland) , Niederpleis , Siegburg-Mülldorf and the village of Birlinghoven were merged to form the municipality of Sankt Augustin by means of a municipal reorganization ( Bonn Act of June 10, 1969) . The newly created community took over the coat of arms that the President had given the Menden office in 1936 . It shows the Bergisch lion as a reference to the old sovereign, the Duke of Berg ; the chess pattern comes from the coat of arms of the local lords of Menden. |
