geography

Siegburg is located about 8 km east of the Rhine at the confluence of the Agger in the Sieg in the southeast corner of the Cologne Bay , bounded in the east by the heights of the Bergisches Land and in the south by the Pleiser Hügelland . Siegburg has longer borders with the neighboring towns of Troisdorf , Lohmar , Sankt Augustin and Hennef . The nearby cities of Cologne and Bonn can be reached quickly thanks to good transport connections. The highest point of the urban area is a good 220  m above sea level. NHN reached in the Braschoss district , the lowest is at just under 54  m above sea level. NHN at the Agger estuary.

Due to the small urban area, the district town is also the smallest municipality in the Rhein-Sieg district.

Waters

The city is named after the Sieg, which flows into the Rhine west of Siegburg . The tributary, the Agger , forms the dividing line to the neighboring town of Troisdorf . The Siegburger Mühlengraben branches off from the Sieg at the height of the Siegwehr, flows through the urban area and finally reunites with the Sieg. Furthermore, the Wahnbach flows from the Wahnbach dam through the area of ​​the Siegburg district of Seligenthal . The Rothenbach, which rises in Lohmar-Heide , feeds numerous fish ponds in the large forest area (Siegburg State Forest) between the cities of Siegburg and Lohmar.

geology

Siegburg has a share in the Lower Rhine Bay , which is a tertiary geological subsidence area on the northern edge of the Rhenish Slate Mountains . In the Upper Oligocene, the sea reached into the Bonn area. The clay deposits, which later became the basis of the Siegburg ceramics trade, formed during the Oligocene . About the clays were formed lignite n seams . After the sea retreated, sands began to sediment . The terraced systems of the Rhine and its tributaries, the Sieg and the Agger, are characteristic of this area . Siegburg is known for its light gray to dark yellow tones , which give the ceramics produced from them a light color. The Aulgasse takes its name from the pottery.

Mining

Mining was also carried out in the relatively small urban area of ​​Siegburg . The Ziethen mine was located below the Wahnbach dam between Seligenthal and Weingartsgasse . Lead and copper ores must have been mined here as early as the 12th century. In 1854 the mine was put back into operation.

The mining took place here to a depth of 70 meters. The dewatering in the shaft turned out to be extremely difficult. In 1878 the operation was stopped because the thickness of the ores decreased with increasing depth. The pit was re-examined from 1923 to 1927, but no more mining took place. On site you can still find a large overgrown heap and some iron bars that protrude from the ground.

To the east of Schneffelrath were the Pliny and Franz ore mines. The ore mines of Pliny were only mined for a short time around 1860.

Early days

The oldest human traces found so far come from the Neolithic Age (approx. 3000 - approx. 1800 BC). There are hatchets, blades and scrapers made of stone and pottery shards. The oldest settlements in the area of ​​the city of Siegburg date back to between 1000 and 500 BC. Dated. Finds are documented on the Brückberg and the Seidenberg. The Franconian conquest reached the Siegburg area around 500 AD . Shortly before the birth of Christ, the Romans came to the Rhine. For a few hundred years the Rhine became the border between the Roman Empire on the left bank and the Celtic and Germanic tribes on the right. Given the proximity to the Roman settlements in Cologne and Bonn, it can be assumed that there was brisk border trade.

middle Ages

Since the 9th century there was a castle on the Michaelsberg, which was owned by the Ezzonen . In 1060 the Count Palatine Heinrich I of Lorraine was expelled by Archbishop Anno II of Cologne . As a result, Michaelsberg Abbey, a Benedictine abbey , was founded by the Archbishop in 1064 . The abbot of the monastery was also the ruler of the settlement at the foot of the mountain. Four years later, in 1069, Siegburg received market , customs and minting rights from King Heinrich IV in 1069 and, before 1182, city ​​rights . As a supporter of the reform efforts within the church at that time, the Archbishop Anno II made the abbey a center of the renewal of Benedictine monasticism, for which the expression "Siegburg Reform" was coined. Anno was in 1075 at the Abbey buried ( Anno Shrine ) and the grateful Abbey reached in 1183 his canonization , which attracted many pilgrims.

As building material for numerous buildings of that time, e.g. B. St. Servatius (second building 1169), the tuff basalt mined in the Wolsberge was used , also called "Wolsdorfer Brocken". The city wall, which was not dismantled until 1865, also dates from this time.

In today's Seligenthal district , Count Heinrich III. von Sayn and his wife Mechthild von Landberg established a Franciscan monastery . The monastery church was completed in 1256 in the Rhenish transition style and is today the oldest preserved Franciscan church north of the Alps. In 1285 a contract was signed between Siegburg and Cologne, which gave the citizens of the other city the same rights as their own citizens. At the same time, the choir of the parish church was rebuilt based on the high Gothic model of Cologne Cathedral.

The political life of medieval Siegburg was shaped by three institutions. The abbot was the head of the abbey and the city. A Vogt was responsible for jurisdiction and military protection. This office was exercised by the Counts of Berg from the middle of the 12th century . The third and weakest institution was the city council, representing the citizens.

Siegburg has been a pottery town since around 1000 . The development of the pottery trade began much earlier than in the equally well-known Rhenish "pottery town" Frechen . The pottery was in the suburb of Aulgasse . From around 1300 Siegburg experienced a boom in pottery. The potters produce sintered Siegburg stoneware . From around 1500 Siegburg experienced a renewed boom in pottery. The Siegburg potters succeeded in adding artistic decorations to the pottery. The fast ones come from Siegburg . Before and after 1600 a large part of the potters left Siegburg. Some settled in the Kannebäckerland in the Westerwald and the pottery trade in Siegburg lost its importance.

15th to 18th century

In 1403 the Siegburg abbot Pilgram vom Drachenfels promised Johann II von Loen to take over the Siegburg umbrella bailiff . This led to the Siegburg War between the abbey and the townspeople, and the townspeople besieged the abbey with the later Duke Adolf von Berg , the son of the previous bailiff. The abbey was badly damaged but not taken; the city was set on fire. The city and the abbey agreed to leave the bailiff rights to the Lords of Berg.

In 1588, during the Truchsessian War, there was an unsuccessful siege of Siegburg by Spanish troops. In 1614/1615 Siegburg was besieged again by Brandenburg- state troops in the course of the Jülich-Klevischen succession dispute . Almost 20 years later, Siegburg was conquered in October 1632, during the Thirty Years' War, by General Baudissin's Swedish troops , who held them for three years. From 1636 to 1638 Siegburg experienced the persecution of witches by the witch commissioners Franz Buirmann and Kaspar Lieblar (Liblar). This was facilitated by the absence of the abbot, who had fled to Cologne before the war. 37 people (32 women and five men) were victims of the witch trials . There are still 19 complete witch trial protocols as well as process fragments in the North Rhine-Westphalian main state archive in Düsseldorf and the city archive in Siegburg. The numerous armed conflicts of those times caused an economic decline.

In 1670, Duke von Berg's troops destroyed large parts of the medieval fortifications on the Michaelsberg.

In 1676 Siegburg came as a sub-office to the Duchy of Berg , which was ruled from Düsseldorf . From 1741 to 1742 the city was finally occupied by French troops. In the course of the 18th century, several fires destroyed the old abbey complex. As a result, the abbey was largely given its present appearance through new buildings in the Baroque style.

19th century

In 1803 the French came again as occupiers. The abbey was secularized and abolished after almost 750 years of existence. After Napoleon's defeat and the Congress of Vienna, the Rhineland and with it Siegburg became part of the Kingdom of Prussia. With the establishment of the Rhine Province , Siegburg became the district town of the newly formed Siegburg District in 1816 , which was renamed Siegkreis in 1825 after merging with the Uckerath District in 1825 . In 1825 the First Rhenish Insane Asylum was established in the buildings of the former abbey and existed there until 1878.

In 1828 Siegburg had 3,576 inhabitants, 110 of them Protestant and 162 Jewish. In addition to Troisdorf and Wolsdorf, the parish also included the Flögerhof and Ulrodderhof ( Uhlrather Hof ) farms . In 1829 viticulture was stopped on Michaelsberg.

In 1840 industrialization began in the district town with the relocation of the calico factory Rolffs & Co. from Cologne to Siegburg. In the course of industrialization, Siegburg developed into an important transport hub and industrial location in the Bergisches Land . In 1859 Siegburg received a railway connection, in the wake of which two large royal Prussian armaments factories with up to 5,000 employees were settled.

Around 1865 the dilapidated city ​​gates were demolished. In 1886 the royal Prussian penal institution in Siegburg was opened, today's correctional institution Siegburg . In 1892 the state armaments factories settled in Siegburg, the Royal Bullet Factory Brückberg and the Royal Fireworks Laboratory, in which up to 20,000 people worked during the First World War .

On April 1, 1899, the community of Wolsdorf was incorporated into Siegburg as part of a regional reform .

20th century

20th century (until 1945)

The good industrial development of the city caused the population of Siegburg to skyrocket to around 20,000 by the end of the First World War. However, the end of the war also meant the closure of the armaments factories, resulting in high unemployment.

As everywhere in the Rhineland, the Catholic Center Party dominated the Weimar Republic . When the NSDAP came to power in 1933, synchronization began in Siegburg as well . In 1933 an SS man was shot on the night of February 15 while an SS troop tried to storm the Volkshaus . Despite a lack of evidence, six men were later sentenced to eight to twelve years in prison. In March / April, numerous political opponents (communists, social democrats, trade unionists, etc.) from Siegburg and the surrounding area were transferred to the Siegburg prison for protective custody . In the course of the November pogrom in 1938, the synagogue in Holzgasse was destroyed. Until 1942 many Siegburg Jews, whose community size was around 400 people, were u. a. Deported via the Much camp to the concentration camps in the east for extermination. Moritz Heymann from Siegburg was able to escape to Argentina in 1940 on an adventurous escape via Russia, Japan, the USA and Venezuela. He saved the Torah from the former Siegburg synagogue; this is now in Israel.

1937 Siegburg was one of the first German highways, the A 3 connected. The 30 km section between the Cologne-Mülheim motorway junction and Siegburg was opened to traffic on December 17, 1937 after around three years of construction. A year later, on December 15, 1938, the 12 km section followed up to the Siebengebirge junction and on September 20, 1939 another 30 km to Dierdorf.

From 1939 until the end of the war, several thousand foreign forced laborers were employed in large and small companies in Siegburg. More than 400 of them were killed. In 1941 the monks of Siegburg Abbey had to be classified as "hostile to the Reich" by the Gestapo. The abbey was used as a military hospital and anti-aircraft observation post until the end of the war.

On December 28, 1944, 1,500 bombs were dropped on Siegburg in a bombing raid, killing 66 people and injuring hundreds. Michaelsberg Abbey was almost completely destroyed in this air raid. On March 3, 1945, Siegburg were bombed again; this time 3,000 bombs were dropped, killing 35 residents and damaging around 1,000 buildings. On March 9 and 10, 1945, Wolsdorf was bombed and killed over 100 people. On April 10, 1945 Siegburg was occupied by parts of the 97th Infantry Division of the US Army after weeks of fighting. The Americans appointed the German-American Eugen Vogel from Siegburg as mayor.

20th century (from 1945)

The reconstruction of the city and abbey from 1945 onwards was determined by the scarcity economy. The abbot and convent returned to Siegburg to initiate reconstruction with the population. In July 1947, the citizens and monks celebrated the 1400th birthday of St. Benedict in the ruins of the abbey. In 1953 the rebuilt abbey church was consecrated. The repair work continued until 1967.

In the course of the post-war period, the Prussian industrial city became an administrative, service and trading center. Important companies were the Pringswerke and the Siegwerke.

From 1957 the guard battalion at the Federal Ministry of Defense and the staff music corps of the Federal Armed Forces were stationed in the Brückberg barracks in Siegburg. The guard battalion came to Berlin in the course of reunification, but the staff music corps remained in Siegburg.

On August 1, 1969, Siegburg became the district town of the new Rhein-Sieg district . Parts of the municipalities Buisdorf, Hennef (Sieg) and Lauthausen were incorporated. From 1974 to 1978 a new district building was built for the Rhein-Sieg district in Siegburg .

21st century

In 2003, the integration of Siegburg performed on the ICE - Cologne-Frankfurt , accompanied by a new station building and the redesign of the city center between the station and market.

In 2017, the Catholic Social Institute (KSI) of the Archdiocese of Cologne moved into the building of the former abbey on Michaelsberg.
