Schlebusch

Schlebusch is a district of Leverkusen composed of distinct neighborhoods spread across varied terrain. Modern residential areas like Waldsiedlung and Leimbacher Berg sit alongside older village cores such as Edelrath, Neuenhaus, Hummelsheim, and Uppersberg, blending contemporary housing with traditional settlement patterns.

Schlebusch first appears in written records in 1135 as part of the Miselohe administrative division within the Duchy of Berg. The area was incorporated into Leverkusen as a district in 1930, ending its existence as an independent municipality.

St. Andreas Church anchors the town center with its twin spires and houses medieval bells that have marked the passage of time for generations. The church serves as a gathering place for community events and gives the district its spiritual character.

The district connects to the regional rail network through Leverkusen-Manfort station, offering direct links to Cologne and surrounding areas. A pedestrian shopping zone in the center provides everyday shops and services for residents and visitors.

The Freudenthaler Sensenhammer Museum preserves a former scythe factory with working machinery and authentic workshops showing how tools were once made. The site hosts concerts in its restored forge hall, creating an unexpected blend of industrial heritage and live music performances.
