Location of the Schweinheim district in the Bad Godesberg district of Bonn

Schweinheim is a district of the federal city of Bonn in the Bad Godesberg district . Located on the edge of the Kottenforst , it has around 3,000 inhabitants.

The name Schweinheim comes from the previous acorn fattening, where pigs were fed acorns in the woods.

The patron saint of the Schweinheim district is Saint Sebastianus . The plague chapel built in his honor also reminds of the last plague epidemic in the 17th century.

On the Viktorshöhe , in the northern part of Schweinheim, after the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949 the first official residence of President Theodor Heuss , is the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in the buildings of the former Soviet embassy .
