Poll was already inhabited during the New Stone Age; etymologically the name
originates in a meaning like Swamp. The first documentary mentioning of Poll was
on 1. April 1003[1] by monks from nearby Deutz Abbey, which was part of the Electorate of Cologne. The village Poll was
suburbanized in 1889 and became a quarter of Cologne. Since 1975 it is part of city district Porz.

Transportation
Poll is served by the Bundesautobahn 4, Bundesautobahn 559 and three light rail stations of the Cologne Stadtbahn line 7. The
Cologne Rodenkirchen Bridge connects Poll withRodenkirchen. Destroyed due to an airstrike on 14 January 1945 it was rebuilt from
1952 to 1954. The Südbrücke was also destroyed in January 1945 and is in service again since 1950. This railway bridge is used
mainly for goods traffic.
