Eil, Cologne

Eil is a suburb of Cologne, Germany, located in Porz, south-east of the city centre. With an area totalling 16,23 km², it is the largest district in the entire city in terms of area, although not all of the land is built up.

Location

The center of Eil is located in the southwest of the urban district. To the north is a substantial industrial zone area incorporating a large distribution centre belonging to the retailer Kaufhof. In the east the district incorporates much of the Wahner Heide nature reserve as well as the walled grounds of “Castle Röttgen” (Schloss Röttgen) .

History

The village of Eil first appears in the records in 268. At that time the inhabitants were very poor, and made a living, when work was available, working for the local landowners in nearby Röttgen und Leidenhausen. In the later medieval period Eil passed into the ownership of Porz in the Berg territory. During the rapid urbanisation of the nineteenth century, Eil became the largest settlement in the Heumar administrative region, but still without its own church. In 1903/1904 the church of St Michael was built, and in 1917 Eil finally acquired its own priest.

List of craters on Mars: A-G

This is a list of craters on Mars. There are hundreds of thousands of impact craters on Mars, but only some of them have names. This list here only contains named Martian craters starting with the letter A – G (see also lists for H – N and O – Z).

Large Martian craters (greater than 60 km in diameter) are named after famous scientists and science fiction authors; smaller ones (less than 60 km in diameter) get their names from towns on Earth. Craters cannot be named for living people, and small crater names are not intended to be commemorative - that is, a small crater isn't actually named after a specific town on Earth, but rather its name comes at random from a pool of terrestrial place names, with some exceptions made for craters near landing sites. Latitude and longitude are given as planetographic coordinates with west longitude.
