Deutz (Latin Divitia and since the 10th century Tuitium ) is an old town of Germany incorporated in Cologne in 1888. It is composed of envire 16  000 inhabitants.

Geography

Deutz is located on Right Bank of the the Rhine, which thus limits it to the west. It divides borders with the districts of Kalk and Humboldt/Gremberg in the east, of Poll in the south and Mülheim in north. At the administrative and political level, Deutz is attached to the sector (Stadtbezirk) Innenstadt ( Center-Ville ) since 1954.

History

In 310, the Romains build a bridge on the Rhine in order to be able to supply the troops confronted with Germanic risings become increasingly common. The bridge also facilitates the commercial links with the German ones. In order to protect the bridge, a fort (Castellum Divitia) is set up on Right Bank of the river. The bridge is destroyed approximately 100 years later and it will have to be waited fourteen centuries before a new bridge is thrown on the Rhine with the height of Cologne.

Into 1003, the Archevêque Herbert of Cologne transforms the fort into Monastère Benedictine, which takes the name of Abbaye of Deutz. The archbishop Henri Ier of Cologne raises Deutz with the row of city in 1230, whose control will be disputed a long time by the town of Cologne, the Électorat of Cologne and the Duché of Berg. Between 1583 and 1588, during the War of Cologne, the city will be entirely destroyed. The fortifications will be shaven in 1678 after the signature of the Traité of Nimègue. It is only in 1816 that the Prussia S will rebuild the fortified town, whose contours are reflected in the current network of circulation. On the edge of the Rhine, they will install a barracks which will be used later for the Rhenish Musée.

In 1803 Deutz passes to the house of Nassau-Usingen, in 1806 with Berg, which became under Napoleon I {{er}} a Grand Duchy and, finally in 1814, in Prussia. One then sets up the town hall ( Bürgermeisterei ) of Deutz, which belongs to the district ( Kreis ) of Cologne. The town hall is divided into two in 1857, with side the Ville of Deutz, and other the town hall of Deutz-Land, which will become Kalk in 1867. Lastly, in 1888, Deutz will be incorporated in the town of Cologne.

As from 1922, on bank of the Rhine, in the north of Hohenzollernbrücke, the first work of Koelnmesse begins.

The 1er January, Deutz is just in Stadtbezirk of the downtown area.

The stadtteil is founded on an old district with the narrow streets and the old dwellings.

Bridges and transport

In the Années 1840 Deutz becomes, because of its site on Right Bank of the Rhine, the terminus of several railroads whose main thing leads to the station of Düsseldorf. In 1859, the two banks are connected by the Dombrücke ( Pont of the catédrale ). In the Years 1860, Deutz and its Kalk neighbor know a phase of industrialization, taking the changing of the center of Cologne too to the narrow one. Dombrücke is replaced in 1911 by the Hohenzollernbrücke ( Pont of the Hohenzollern ) and, in 1913, the station of Deutz takes its current form.

Two other bridges on the Rhine will follow, the Deutzer Brücke in 1915, and the Severinsbrücke in 1959 which, connects Deutz to him directly in the center of Cologne.
