Frechen: Guide
Frechen is a town and a municipality in the Rhein-Erft-Kreis, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Frechen was first mentioned in 877. It is situated approx. 10 km west of Cologne.
In the 1500s it acquired a name for its terra cotta artifacts, especially the "Bartmannskrug" (beardman jug). Later in the 1700s lignite was first industrially mined. Digging for lignite dominated the city's economy until the end of the 20th century. In 1891 the first briquette factory was opened. On 2 September, 1951 Frechen received its city-rights including the towns of Bachem and Buschbell. On 1 January, 1975 the nearby villages of Grefrath, Habbelrath, Königsdorf and Neufreimersdorf were also incorporated.
Currently it has 48.654 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2004).
