Selhof is a district of Bad Honnef in the Rhein-Sieg district in North Rhine-Westphalia . It is located in the south of the Bad Honnef valley area and borders on the Rheinbreitbach in Rhineland-Palatinate . On January 1, 2014, Selhof had 7,637 residents.

geography

Selhof stretches in a west-east direction from Linzer Straße to Mucher Wiesental and to Zickelburg ( 188  m above sea  level ), a north-westerly raised area of ​​the Rheinwesterwald volcanic ridge , as well as in north-south direction from Landesstraße 144 to Honnefer Graben , the border stream to Rheinbreitbach. The Ohbach forms the border between Selhof and the districts Stadtmitte and Beuel . On the northern edge are the former Catholic Social Institute of the Archdiocese of Cologne and the International University, which is already part of the Beuel district .

The residential development reaches a height of up to 130  m above sea level in the northeast of the district (below the Mucher Wiesentals) as well as in the southeast (below the Zickelburg), which is built on by a residential area with a far-reaching view . NN . At its sloping southern end is the location of Menzenberg with the Hagerhof Castle , which is used by a private high school. The south east of Linzer Straße, on the other hand, is largely undeveloped except for a conference hotel, a few allotments and a campsite . West of Linzer Straße is the industrial area on Drieschweg and a shopping center, most of which was built in the 1990s.

history

The district was first mentioned in a document in 1068 as Selehova . " Salhof " was the name given to the central courtyard of a medieval manor . Selhof was one of six honors that made up the parish of Honnef from 1555 until the dissolution of the Duchy of Berg in 1806, and from which the municipality of Honnef subsequently emerged. A spelling used earlier was Sellhof . The Fuckenbergerhof was first mentioned in 1564, and in 1654 it became the property of the Cologne Jesuit College as a winery . With around 450 inhabitants in 1663 (before a local plague outbreak in 1666) and 81 farms in 1678, Selhof could be described as the largest district of Honnef. In 1710, Trappists from Düsselthal Abbey (so-called Speckermönche ) settled “on” Selhof, where they acquired two farms.

Viticulture was one of the village's most important livelihoods . While the share of viticulture in the total agricultural area was the lowest compared to the other five honors (1678: 25%), the absolute area of ​​the vineyards was the highest. In 1746 there were 103 taxable winegrowers' farms in the Selhof estate, in the 57 farms visited during a so-called " cellar visitation" the red wine share was the lowest at 181 ohms or 28%. Selhof belonged to the tenth district of the Siegburg Abbey and the Archdiocese of Cologne , to which part of the wine yield had to be delivered. In a village fire on May 8, 1784, more than half of the 115 houses in Selhof at the time were destroyed, so that the existing building stock in the district largely dates from the period afterwards: it rose from 144 houses in 1840 to 215 houses in 1890 to 339 houses in 1914.

When the original cadastre was drawn up in 1825/27, the former honors were subdivided into the corridors Unterselhof , Oberselhof , Helte , Töpferkreuz , Mommensenbeuel , Leyberg , Menzenberg , Hagerhof , Limbich and proportionally Lohfeld and Weiher . In 1828 the village had 570 and in 1843 772 inhabitants. In the 1870s, street names were systematically identified in Selhof for the first time. In 1878 Selhof received a Catholic elementary school built by the municipality with the help of a foundation from the owner of Hagerhof Castle Franz Weyermann († 1890) outside the center of the village at that time , which was expanded by a wing in 1901 or 1911.

At the time of the First World War, the Zickelburg residential area was given up. Since 1896 the Archdiocese of Cologne had owned a farm that had been documented since the beginning of the 18th century and belonged to the family of the Barons von Proff-Irnich from the middle of the 19th century, which was expanded into a convalescent home for priests by 1906, in St. Antoniusstift was renamed and was transferred to the Catholic Social Institute in 1952 ( relocated to Siegburg in 2017 ). From 1952 to 1954 a youth hostel was built on the upper edge of Selhof . In 1961 the Catholic primary school received a new building. In the post-war period, Selhof changed from an agricultural village to a place of residence. In autumn 1982, the new building of the management academy of the Deutsche Bundespost was completed in the undeveloped south of the district , which later became a conference hotel for Deutsche Telekom. For a long time there was political disputes about residential development in the area known as “Selhof-Süd”.

Attractions

St. Martin

The Catholic Church of St. Martin in Selhof was built in 1966 after the previous building in 1932/1933 was closed and was consecrated in 1968. With more than 300 seats, it is one of the largest churches in the deanery and houses a Gothic forked cross . A Martin's chapel in the center of Selhof is already documented for the year 1451; its most recent new building dates from 1801. It replaced a wooden building from 1710, which was supplemented by a stone extension in 1735 and destroyed in the village fire of 1784.

Another landmark of Selhof is the so-called Anna picture in memory of the last year of the plague in 1666, a three-part shrine or holy house with a triangular gable . In its arched niche there is no Saint Anne , but a wooden Madonna with baby Jesus . In 1990 the Anna picture was completely renovated and the inscription was given a new version, in 2010 the plaza in front of the wayside shrine was redesigned. At the northeast end of Selhof is the Jewish cemetery, which was occupied from 1666, and is the city's oldest burial site. In the center there are some half-timbered houses from the 18th and 19th Century preserved.

education

A Catholic elementary school (St. Martinus School) had existed in Selhof since 1878 , and in 1969 it became the two-tier municipal Catholic St. Martinus elementary school (approx. 240 students). It is the only denominational school in Bad Honnef.

Clubs in the Selhof district

Club life is shaped by sporting as well as social associations. The sports club ATV Selhof offers a wide range of sports. The social associations Bürgererverein Selhof and the local and beautification association Bad Honnef-Selhof e. V. take care of togetherness around the Selhof district. The Ecumenical Network for Integration is expected to operate a meeting place in Selhof from 2016. In addition, there are smaller clubs such as the Selhof 1778 bachelor club, which are a strong organizational link at local festivals.
