"I, the tower of St. Hubertus, have existed since 989, and when I was raised to my current height around the year 1200, I could overlook the country far away. I also got a pretty nave. At my feet in Flittard lay Fronhof, Wiedenhof and Bungartshof. The little church was sufficient for the population, small farmers and fishermen. There were only individual houses, placed randomly. For field work, a field roller stood by the village oak. For this purpose, a horse was borrowed from the Fronhof of St. Martin Abbey. I saw many processions, including processions with music. There was always a festive altar at the shrine. The cemetery was all around me. Floods from the Rhine often devastated land and houses. There were only half-timbered houses. At the end of the 17th century, plundering soldiers destroyed the Wiedenhof and set fire to the Bungartshof, which was rebuilt in 1715. My most precious possession is a baptismal font from the 12th century. In 1768, a nave was added. The rule of the monks of Cologne's St. Martin's came to an end with the French at the beginning of the 18th century. My appendage, the tower school from 1533, had already been forgotten when a school was built between Flittard and the neighboring Stammheim in 1823. After the Fronhof suffered severe fire damage in 1827, the Paulinenhof was built in 1829. In 1833, the telegraph, which still exists as a museum, was built. So something was happening. In 1847, I saw the first train running.

In 1847 there was a new rectory, which is still standing, and in 1896 a new nave. After I had one bell of my own in 1413, by 1530 there were already two. Now I am very rich with five bells. I can't afford any more. In 1876 a school with two classes was built opposite me and in 1910 it was expanded by two classes. The construction of the dike in 1894 made the place more habitable. The rapidly expanding Bayer paint factory built a narrow-gauge railway to Cologne-Mülheim in 1898. In 1902 a citizen donated the Sacred Heart Foundation for elderly citizens. In 1911 the prayer room was built for the growing number of Protestant Christians. In 1907 the field paths to Stammheim and Düsseldorfer Strasse were expanded. Bicycles were already known. Then the doctor came with the first car. In 1914 the town was incorporated into Cologne. The First World War came. The paint factories were secured against aircraft with balloons. I had to mourn many casualties. In 1926 there was a bus service to Mülheim. The war of 39-45 left deep wounds. Bombs and grenades caused a lot of harm in my area. I was also targeted. Friend and foe shot at me. After I recovered, I had changed below the peak. After the war, the town grew through the construction of housing estates. In 1957 the Catholic St. Pius parish was built and in 1958 the Protestant St. Luke's Church."
