Tips

For the history of Dudeldorf see, for example, de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dudeldorf
By today's standards, Dudeldorf is a small village with surprisingly large city gates. The fact that the place 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 Ages. And because the areas of power of Electorate of Electorate and the Duchy of Luxembourg bordered here in the Middle Ages, King John of Bohemia, who was also the ruler of Luxembourg, granted Dudeldorf city rights on December 20, 1345. The place officially remained a town for over 500 years before the Prussians demoted it to a rural community in 1856. Since 1970, the residents have belonged to the municipality of Bitburg-Land, but they still enter through two defiant city gates. The best preserved is the Obertor, which, like its counterpart, was built around 1453. The village had achieved some prosperity thanks to its wool production, which is why there are various other representative buildings here. Today's Hotel Zum alten Brauhaus used to house the post office and the temporary courthouse.
