history

As early as 1144, in a document from King Konrad , "Wolckeshemeroholz" was mentioned, probably as the name of the Wolsdorf Forest at that time. The term "Wolkerstorp" appears for the first time in a document from Archbishop Rainald von Dassel in 1166. Until 1857 Wolsdorf belonged to the town mayor of Siegburg. From January 1, 1858, Troisdorf and Wolsdorf became the mayor's office of Siegburg, which was also administered from Siegburg. The rural community Wolsdorf, to which the Stallberg also belonged, was incorporated into Siegburg on April 1, 1899 as part of a regional reform . According to the minutes of the public meeting of the city council, the area was 350 hectares with 1400 inhabitants. On this day, it is said, the "trinity" Droistorp – Wolsdorp – Syberg ( Troisdorf – Wolsdorf – Siegburg) ended.
