history

Former Lord Mayor

During the period when the city of Mülheim am Rhein was free of districts, two mayors directed the fortunes of the city. On the one hand, there was Friedrich Wilhelm Steinkopf , who held office from 1876 to 1908. Bernhard Clostermann was Lord Mayor from 1909 until it was incorporated into the city of Cologne in 1914.

Second World War

At noon on October 14, 1944, what was then Mülheim Bridge was destroyed in an air raid by the USAAF .

On October 28, 1944, Royal Air Force bombers launched a heavy air raid on Cologne-Mülheim and other parts of Cologne. The Friedenskirche in Mülheim, the railway line between Mülheim and Köln-Kalk and much more were destroyed.

traffic

The district is accessible with the railway lines Köln Hbf - Köln-Mülheim - Leverkusen - Düsseldorf and Köln Hbf - Köln-Mülheim - Leverkusen-Opladen - Solingen Hbf - Wuppertal , the S-Bahn lines S 6 to Essen via Düsseldorf and Leverkusen and S 11 to Bergisch Gladbach as well as with the trams 3, 4, 13 and 18. Another S-Bahn line via Solingen Hbf to Wuppertal will probably only be implemented in the distant future. At the train station Cologne-Mülheim keep S-Bahn trains, regional rail trains and regional express trains (among which are direct links to Aachen , Bonn , Dusseldorf , Wuppertal and the Ruhr area ). There is a possibility to change to the light rail, which runs here in the tunnel.

The district is connected to the trunk road network by the federal highways 3 , 4 and the federal highways 8 , 51 and 506 .
