District

Bickendorf

Part of borough Ehrenfeld

Bickendorf sits in the northwest of Cologne and belongs to the Ehrenfeld borough. Its name probably derives from the Frankish word "beck," which once meant mouth, utterance or a place of justice. The former village lost much of its rural feel through the extensive workers' housing estates built in the early 20th century, with a commercial zone stretching toward the city's edge.
