Location of Sinnersdorf in Pulheim

Sinnersdorf is part of the city of Pulheim and is located in the northern Rhein-Erft district , northwest of Cologne .

geography

The landscape of Sinnersdorf is in the Cologne Bay , on the lower terrace of the Rhine .

Due to its location in the outskirts of the city of Cologne, it benefited greatly from suburbanization in the second half of the 20th century and is therefore primarily characterized by residential areas that emerged during this period. Rural structures can only be found sporadically in the town center, especially in the area of ​​Roggendorfer Straße.

history

The first written mention of Sinnersdorf as "Sunrisdorp" dates from June 3, 1230 (possibly also 1233, since the date of the source is not clearly legible), but an earlier settlement is likely. The name Sinnersdorf is probably derived from the dialectic settlement name "Sönneschdörper", which means something like "Village of Sunirih". The circumstances and the time of the naming are not known.

Since the Middle Ages, the village has been administered jointly by the Duchy of Berg and the Electorate of Cologne . This is reminiscent of the Cologne-Electoral Cross and the Bergische Lion in today's coat of arms. With the Peace of Lunéville in 1801, Sinnersdorf fell under French rule and belonged to the "Mairie de Stommelen ". After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Rhineland became part of Prussia , and Sinnersdorf's municipal affiliation changed several times as a result.

The small Jewish community in Sinnersdorf is said to have been larger than that in Stommeln around 1800 , but in 1892 there are no more Jewish residents to be found. A Jewish cemetery was probably laid out in the corridor "Am Judenkirchhof" before 1728. The burial site, which was occupied until 1900, fell victim to the construction of the motorway in 1968/69 and is no longer preserved.

From 1964 the village together with the places Auweiler , Esch , Pesch and Orr as well as Gut Stöckheim formed the community of Sinnersdorf. With the municipal reorganization ( Cologne Law ), which came into force on January 1, 1975, the majority of the municipality (11.38 km 2 with 9756 inhabitants) was finally incorporated into Cologne, while the places Sinnersdorf and Orr (7.78 km 2 ) were incorporated into Cologne km 2 with 3107 inhabitants) became part of the newly formed municipality of Pulheim (from 1981 city ​​of Pulheim).

The second half of the 1960s and 1970s were characterized by strong population growth and extensive expansions, which can be explained by the location of Sinnersdorf in the middle of the developing Cologne bacon belt . The number of inhabitants quintupled by the early 1980s to around 5,000 people, thereby over-shaping the previously rural character of the village.

1983 was the year of the town's 750th anniversary.

Infrastructure

traffic

Due to its location near the Autobahn 57 (junction Worringen ), the sometimes narrow through-road of Sinnersdorf has been heavily burdened by through traffic from the neighboring towns of Pulheim and Stommeln since the 1960s . In 1998, the first section of the long required bypass (northern bypass L 93n) was completed, which led to a significant reduction in traffic in the town. The continuation of the bypass road (western bypass L 183n) is in planning (status: July 2012). After its completion, a comprehensive redesign of the town center with a reduction in the traffic area will take place. A first phase of construction, the redesign of the church forecourt, was already completed in 2007.

school

In 1971 the newly built community elementary school with gymnasium was opened in the town center, a second construction phase three years later. In 1984 it was given the nickname Horion School, named after Johannes Horion .

Ambulance

At the exit towards Stommeln there is an ambulance station for the city of Pulheim, which is manned by the Maltese emergency service, as well as a location for the German Red Cross .

Culture and sights

Buildings

Catholic parish church of St. Hubertus

Fountain and church in the center of Sinnersdorf

The town center is characterized by the 33 meter high Catholic parish church of St. Hubertus , built in the years 1877–79 in the neo-Romanesque style . It is Sinnersdorf's first landmark. Three of the four bells that ring today (St. Hubertus, Mother of God, Maria Magdalena) date from 1961, the fourth (St. Agnes) from 1927.

Evangelical Peace Church

Not far from the Catholic Church is the Evangelical Peace Church. It was inaugurated in 1990 and is a combination of church and parish hall.

Stilt houses

Stilt house settlement on the outskirts of Sinnersdorf

A special architectural feature can be found at the exit towards Cologne-Roggendorf . A settlement of mushroom-shaped stilt houses by the Tübingen architect Heinrich Johann Niemeyer was built here at the end of the 1960s . The Chemosphere house in Los Angeles may have provided the inspiration for this. Of the twelve planned bungalows on stilts, however, only nine were completed.

Fountain

Another landmark of Sinnersdorf is the fountain created by the Sinnersdorf artist Wolfgang Göddertz and set up in front of the primary school in 1976. It consists of around 1,700 stainless steel parts.
