Crossroads Rodderstrasse, 1796

Stotzheim is a district of the city of Hürth in the Rhein-Erft district southwest of Cologne . It is called the Pansy Village . It has 1793 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2017).

geography

Stotzheim is located on the flat central terrace in the western part of the Cologne Bay . The soils are fertile due to a loess cover , even if they do not have the same wind protection layer as the layers in the inner corner of the bay. Vegetables and field flowers are grown here, especially because of the proximity to Cologne. The Stotzheimer Bach flows through Stotzheim (channeled underground in the village) , which also feeds the moat of the former Schlebuschhof castle in the southwest of the village.

history

Stotzheim was first mentioned in a document in 1223 as the castle courtyard of a Maria von Stotzem, who belonged to the Cologne nobility monastery St. Maria im Kapitol . This is today's Schlebuschhof , which is still trench-reinforced . Another courtyard was the Hospitalhof, of which Hospitalstrasse still reminds us. A small hamlet was grouped around these courtyards. Stotzheim has belonged to Mairie Efferen since the time of Napoleon in 1800, to the Mayor's Office Efferen since 1815, with which it was merged in 1932 to form the municipality , now the city of Hürth.

Attractions

  • St. Brictius , Catholic Church. The patronage is dedicated to the successor of Saint Martin von Tours and points to an early Franconian church in the courtyard as the predecessor building.
