Mini guide to Frechen

Frechen

Frechen is located in western Germany, and is a town in the Rhein-Erft-Kreis in North Rhine-Westphalia. With a history dating back to 877, it has certainly experienced a great deal to get where it is today with a bustling population of 51,000. Located on the western Cologne city border, Frechen is a comfortable “bedroom” community to the larger city, and finds its name in the root of the work referring to terra cotta artifacts which were manufactured here for hundreds of years. Another major base for economic sustainability was the excavation of lignite which lasted until a decade ago. With the bricks being made right in the town, it made the cost of building more affordable for the region, and investors interested in that growth.

Today, there are several large and mid-size factories and companies, which make up the majority of the work here. But don’t be deceived by this fact, since many service and professional organizations make Frechen their home. Because the town is so close to Cologne, commuting is a way of life here and residents find a much more affordable place to live while also enjoying the amenities of the big city. The many forms of mass transit make the commute easier, and the closeness and availability of freeways and highways make auto travel convenient as well. The outlook is good for this town, and gradual growth make property values steady, and new residents make Frechen home every year.

You don’t have to travel far when searching for something to do in Frechen. The historic sites, shopping, and nearby theatres in Cologne make this a great place to relax, or spend a night out on the town. The annual meeting of the 1000steine takes place each year in Frechen, and is a convention of LEGO enthusiasts who exhibit models, and visitors always enjoy this unique event. The moderate climate make Frechen a fairly safe bet when organizing events outdoors, and the average temperature is around 50 degrees. It does rain a fair amount in this region, but that provides for the beautiful landscape and residents know to bring a topcoat or umbrella in case of such an event.
