The historic Dudeldorf with medieval charm and partially preserved city fortifications, two city gates.

For the town fortifications in Dudeldorf, see e.g. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadtbefestigung_Dudeldorf
By today's standards, Dudeldorf is a small village with astonishingly large town gates. The fact that the town was fortified in this way is due to its location and a few historical coincidences. People settled in the Dudeldorfer Mulde as early as the Stone Age and Roman times. And because the spheres of power of the Electorate of Trier and the Duchy of Luxembourg bordered on one another here in the Middle Ages, King John of Bohemia, who was also the ruler of Luxembourg, granted Dudeldorf town rights on December 20, 1345. The town officially remained a town for over 500 years before it was downgraded to a rural municipality by the Prussians in 1856. Since 1970, the residents have belonged to the Bitburg-Land collective municipality, but still enter the town through two defiant town gates. The best preserved is the Upper Gate, which, like its counterpart, was built around 1453. The village had become quite prosperous thanks to its wool production, which is why there are still various other representative buildings here. Today's Hotel Zum alten Brauhaus used to house the post office and the provisional court. Source: 111 places in the Eifel that you have to see
