History of Klettenberg

The name "Klettenberg" comes from the "Hofgut Klettenberg" mentioned for the first time in 1225. There used to be some sand and gravel pits in the area. However, there was another Frohnhof, namely the Komarhof which was located on "Geisbergstraße". The "Hofgut Klettenberg" was a very popular excursion destination for the Cologne residents at this time, as there were still two ponds on the area, one of which was approved for "boat rides". Until 1888, Klettenberg was connected to the Sülz district by a horse-drawn tram line. Then in 1889, this was replaced by a steam locomotive (the promontory of the Cologne-Bonn railways), which the Cologne people at that time only warmly called the "Fiery Elias". The following factories and production facilities should be considered economically: Cito-Fahrradwerke, Allright-Fahrradwerke until the merger into the "Köln-Lindenthaler Metallwerke" followed.

Transport connections

The connection by car as well as by public transport is good. The KVB (Kölner Verkehrsbetriebe) takes tram lines 13 and 18 and bus lines 130 and 131 to Klettenberg. The A4 motorway is easily accessible.

Apartment Cologne Tip

Fewo Köln recommends visiting the Klettenbergpark! Just beautiful green.

A lot of green in Klettenberg

There are very beautiful green areas in Klettenberg, such as the Klettenbergpark. This was created between 1905 and 1907 by Mr. Fritz Encke and has an area of ​​approx. 6 ha. The park was created as a nature park in the 10 meter deep gravel pit there. There is a pond right in the middle of the park. There are also beautiful ornamental gardens, a basalt quarry and a great rose park that is equipped with arcades. The park is ideal for relaxing and walking.

Buildings and structures

Here we only want to briefly list the most interesting buildings:

  • Courtyard (Komarhof)
  • Parish Church of St. Bruno
  • various beautiful apartment buildings on Siebengebirgsallee

The Bruno Saal

A very popular and well-known event hall in Klettenberg is the so-called "Bruno Hall". It is located in the Catholic parish church of St. Bruno and inherited its name from it. The parish church is on the Sülzgürtel and the hall offers space for around 400 spectators! Due to its size, events take place there again and again: cabaret, puppet theater or even readings from lit.Cologne take place there.

The Komarhof

This old farm or this farm complex was first mentioned in a document in 1348. It is very remote at the end of Geisbergstrasse in front of the railway underpass towards Zollstock. The great courtyard and the manor house still show us why the Komarhof was called "splendid manor in 1550". Despite multiple conversions and the damage from the Second World War, the Komarhof was able to maintain its splendor.

The weekly market

There is a weekly market on the Klettenberg belt every Wednesday and Saturday. Then you can stroll comfortably between the stands and look: clothing, flowers, fish, baked goods, delicatessen (cheese and antipasti) and fruit and vegetables, taste and of course buy! Have fun strolling and discovering.

Events in the district

So that you can get to know the district even better, we would like to list a few events here. Enjoy reading!

Line 18 of the KVB derailed

At the end of September 2019, tram line 18 of the Cologne Transport Authority in Klettenberg derailed. The exact reason for the derailment is not known. As a result of this incident, normal scheduled traffic was separated between Hermühlheim and Sülzgürtel. The trams only ran between Thielenbruch and Sülzgürtel and also between Bonn and Hermülheim. Replacement buses were also used. Because the EDP of the KVB was also on strike at that time, the disability could not even be shown on the display boards at the tram stops.

Sankt Martin - Martins fire prohibited

At the end of 2019, the traditional and very popular Martins fire was prohibited in the Klettenbergpark. The regulatory office pointed out that one should not light a fire in landscape protection areas. It is questionable, of course, why this was always possible in the previous years and why there was no exception, since even the fire brigade accompanies this event and there is therefore no greater danger.
