The connection with public transport is not necessarily optimal, because only a bus (number 135) and a tram (number 16) of the KVB (Cologne Transport Authority) go there. You have a good connection by car, because the 555 motorway can be easily accessed there.

Geographical location

Neighboring districts are: Hahnwald , Immendorf , Sürth and Wesseling. Also directly adjacent is the the Rhine .

Apartment Cologne Tip

Visit the carnival discouter "Deiters". You will be amazed at how many costumes and other items there are! A little detour to IKEA can't hurt either.

History

Already in 1173 the first reference to the place "Gudegedorp" was found. There used to be many mills there and that's why the Dutch windmill is the symbol of the district.

Economy

The cityscape and the facilities there are determined by industrial and commercial units. The German Shell has huge refinery areas there, which kindle a colorful sea of lights at night. Godorfer Hafen also belongs to the region and in 1967 this was once the largest transshipment point for lignite for Europe! That is why a large number of refineries were built near the Godorf port. As already mentioned above, many large commercial units have also settled there.

Events and Events

What is happening in Cologne Godorf? We inform.

Expansion of the port

There were plans for further expansion of the port in Godorf. However, these should not be pursued further now. This change of course is strange since the CDU had been fighting for the expansion of the port for many years. But the new environmental policy and the situation that the port in Bonn has already been expanded have caused a complete change of course. The Greens, FDP, CDU and the GUT council adopted a corresponding proposal. The Cologne Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the unions, who had been very committed to the expansion, should not be entirely satisfied. Here, of course, it is also a question of creating more jobs. The citizens also voted in the form of a citizens' decision for the expansion. This form of democracy is strange when citizens and employers are actually in favor of expansion. Who has something to decide in Germany? The people's representatives, who should actually carry out the will of the people or the politicians?

Location for a movie

It was something very special when SV Godorf was allowed to make its sports field available for the filming of the film "Das Wunder von Bern" in 1956. The location was definitely special because it always has the oil tanks nearby and a blazing gas flame can be seen anywhere and anytime or a tower destroys the image of an endless horizon. Shell is always present somehow!

You won't find a pub in vain

Unfortunately Godorf is one thing above all: Industry! Shell and its facilities are everywhere, IKEA is there and many other wholesalers (METRO etc.) are bustling there in the industrial area. Unfortunately there is no Veedels pub at the moment. The after-work beer is drunk at home and chatted with the neighbor instead. But Godorf is growing and more and more people are discovering it as a new place to live. Maybe there will be a pub again soon! We keep our fingers crossed for you!

Guest houses or apartments in Godorf

In Godorf, some providers have specialized in room service for fitters . With the proximity to Shell, of course, this makes sense. We also found two Hotels in Godorf!

From our point of view it makes little sense to stay in Godorf as a tourist, because you have a really long way to the city of Cologne! If you want to visit the Cologne Cathedral or the old town of Cologne, then you are completely wrong!
