    Old German history is always interesting and worth knowing.
    Here remains of the imperial palace as customs festivals of Friedrich Barbarossa.

      The ruin of Kaiserpfalz Kaiserswerth is located in the Kaiserswerth district of Düsseldorf. The Palatinate goes back to a monastery founded by the monk Suitbert (us) in 700. At that time, the Franconian Hausmeier Pippin the Middle and his wife Plektrudis donated to the Anglo-Saxon monk an artificially created by circumnavigation of the old Rhine arm Rhine island, on which already a Frankish Fronhof - protected by mound, ditch and palisade - was. This developed in the following time to a fortified Zollfeste. On December 23, 1982, the facility was entered in the monument list of the city in the category castles, mansions, fortifications, castles.

      The name Kaiserswerth derives from the Middle High German word werth for island. He means thus emperor island or island of the emperor.

        The ruins of the Kaiserpfalz Kaiserswerth are located in the Kaiserswerth district of Düsseldorf. The Palatinate dates back to a monastery founded by the monk Suitbert (us) around 700. At that time, the Franconian house keeper Pippin the Middle and his wife Plektrudis gave the Anglo-Saxon monk an artificially created Rhine island by encircling the old arm of the Rhine, on which there was already a Franconian Fronhof - protected by earth walls, moats and palisades. In the following time this developed into a fortified customs festival. On December 23, 1982, the complex was entered in the city's list of monuments in the category of castles, mansions, fortifications, and palaces.
