geography
The development of Sankt Augustin-Ort flows into that of Mülldorf in the north and that of Niederpleis in the east . In the south and west, the districts of Hangelar and Menden border, which are geographically separated by open spaces.
history
The area of today's Sankt Augustin-Ort district was previously in the border area of the communities Siegburg-Mülldorf and Hangelar and was used for agriculture. The area was first developed when Xaver Henroset settled there in 1893/1894 at the intersection of the road from Beuel to Siegburg and the road from Menden to Niederpleis (today's intersection of the B 56 with the L 143) and built an inn but could not open until years later. In 1902 four more houses were built. In 1911 the Siegburger Bahn was opened, which received the Niederpleis-Menden stop at Henrosets Gasthaus (today's Sankt Augustin Kloster stop ). The monastery of St. Augustine the Steyler Missionaries, after which the place was later named, was moved into in 1913. The name “St. Augustin ”can be proven for the place from 1929, when the“ Interest Group St. Augustin ”began to stand up for the residents. In 1932, according to an article in the Bonner General-Anzeiger from March 19, 1932, the place had grown to "47 houses with three shops and an inn".
Because the nearby Bonn became federal capital in 1949 , Sankt Augustin, like the entire Menden (Rhineland) office , experienced an enormous increase in population. On January 1, 1952, the place had 1,752 inhabitants, on January 1, 1960 2,884 and on July 1, 1969 4,532 inhabitants. As the place grew, more facilities were needed. In 1954 the primary school was opened, in 1959 the Catholic Church of St. Maria Königin . The Protestant Paulus Church followed a little later. After the establishment of the municipality of Sankt Augustin in 1969, the village of St. Augustin became part of the municipality of Sankt Augustin-Ort.
In the 1970s, in the area of the Sankt Augustin-Ort district, more precisely on the undeveloped Heidenfeld, a city center for the community and later town of Sankt Augustin was built: the children's clinic was built in 1970/1971, the Rhein-Sieg-Gymnasium in 1971, 1973 the school for the physically handicapped (meanwhile Rheinische Förderschule with a special focus on physical and motor development), 1974 the tax office, 1975 the special school for the mentally handicapped and 1976 the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung . In 1977 the new town hall, the HUMA shopping park and the market slab were completed, spanning the parking deck and connecting town hall, HUMA, Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung and the later completed Hotel Regina as well as another office and commercial building.
Sankt Augustin Monastery
The place got its name from the monastery St. Augustin der Steyler Missionare, which moved into in 1913 . The missionaries maintain a seminary and an ethnological museum here. The seat of the Steyler Bank is also located there, as is the former philosophical-theological university, which has been operated by the Archdiocese of Cologne as the Cologne University of Catholic Theology (KHKT) - St. Augustin since 2020 .
traffic
Sankt Augustin-Ort is on the Siegburger Bahn of the Bonn light rail. The Sankt Augustin-Ort , Sankt Augustin Kloster and Sankt Augustin Zentrum (Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences) stops in the district . There is a bus station at the latter.
In the middle of Sankt Augustin-Ort is the intersection of the B 56 (Bonner Strasse) and the L 143 (Arnold-Janssen-Strasse / Hennefer Strasse). It is connected to the nearby A 3 , A 59 and A 560 motorways via these roads .
