History
As early as around 1000 BC, a fortified seat was built on the site of today's Ehrenbernstein Castle, and in the middle of the 1st century, a Roman army arrived on the Rhine under the leadership of Julius Caesar, who had a bridge built over the Rhine. Later, a fortified camp was built here to defend this bridge. In the middle of the 13th century, the city received new walls and flourished until the Thirty Years' War. First, the city was conquered by the Swedes, who handed it over to the French, after the fall of Napoleon it was occupied by the Russians, and after the Congress of Vienna it fell to Prussia.
In the middle of the 19th century, the city was connected to the railway and the city was connected to both Cologne and Berlin. During World War II, the city had the military headquarters of the Wehrmacht Army Group and the city was badly damaged by air raids.
