Of these, Gut Frankenforst, first mentioned in 1475 - today a classicist mansion from 1872 - and the Heiderhof, which belonged to the Bödingen monastery from 1501 and whose house has been preserved from the beginning of the 18th century, still exist today . The previous buildings of the Catholic Chapel of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary in Vinxel can be traced back to the 14th century, the current building dates from 1758.

In the topographical survey of the Rhineland carried out at the beginning of the 19th century , the place name was Pfingsen . After the dissolution of the Duchy of Berg, Vinxel (excluding Gielgen and Roleber) formed one of the 31 municipalities or local districts in the canton of Hennef in the Grand Duchy of Berg from 1808 to 1813 and was administered by the Mairie Oberpleis (from 1813 "Mayor Oberpleis"). In Prussian times (from 1815) the community Vinxel remained part of the Oberpleis mayor and was assigned to the Siegburg district (from 1825 "Siegkreis").

This "German honesty" approval field was part of what was then the largest coal mining area in the Rhineland with numerous shafts, quarries and pits on the Hardt (with alum huts ) and in the Roleber and Gielgen area (now Holzlar ) as well as Pützchen. After the seam at Vinxel had been mined and the 10 m floor above it had sunk, traces of it are hardly noticeable there today.
After the Second World War, Vinxel experienced noticeable population growth. The influx of displaced persons and the geographical proximity to the new seat of government Bonn led to an increase in the population from 500 inhabitants in 1950 to around 1000 inhabitants in 1970. Until the municipal reorganization of the Bonn area on August 1, 1969, Vinxel belonged to the municipality of Stieldorf. On this date, the places Hoholz and Ungarten were also removed from the Vinxel district and incorporated into the city of Bonn ( Beuel district ).
