history

The name Widdig is probably derived from the Gallo-Roman Vettiacum, an estate of Vettius. The name Witheich appears for the first time in a deed of donation to the St. Cassius monastery in Bonn from 898 , which a Cologne councilor Johann Helmann cited in the middle of the 16th century. Widdig belonged to the district of Brühl in the Electorate of Cologne and from the beginning of the 15th century until the occupation of the left bank of the Rhine by French revolutionary troops in 1794 was the seat of the Dingstuhl named after him , which covered the villages of Buschdorf , Graurheindorf , Hersel , Uedorf, Urfeld, Wesseling and Widdig itself included. Under French rule, Widdig belonged to the canton of Brühl from 1798 . It was also presumably a church location with the patronage of St. George earlier . The current church was built in 1928 to replace a chapel that was torn away by the Rhine flood. Until 1935, Widdig was an independent municipality that belonged to the mayor's office of Hersel, from which the municipality of Hersel was formed at that time. Since 1969 it has belonged to the newly formed Bornheim community, which later became the city of Bornheim.

As in other districts of Bornheim and in most cities and towns in the Rhineland, Widdig is also shaped by carnival . Since 1994 there has been a parade (carnival procession) every year on Carnival Saturday. Since the 2014/2015 session, the carnival hustle and bustle has been put on new organizational feet with the founding of the Widdiger Carnival Association.
