今日まで保存されている市壁の北門は、1299年から1354年の間に建設された、ネッテ川沿いにある橋門です。ネッテ川の渡河を確保し、主にコブレンツ方面からの市の入り口として機能していたため、「コブレンツ門」という名前でも知られています。落とし格子のための壁の溝の痕跡がないため、門の安全確保のためにネッテ川の橋脚への跳ね橋が使用されていたと推測されています。 1598年の洪水により、橋門は前門とともに崩壊しました。しかし、1599という刻まれた数字は、橋門が翌年には再建されたことを物語っています。19世紀初頭から1855年まで、橋門は刑務所として使用されていました。1911年に設置された市の紋章は今日まで見ることができます。 出典: Jonas Breithaupt, Universität Koblenz-Landau, 2015

The Catholic parish church of St. Germanus in Niederzissen, a municipality in the Ahrweiler district of Rhineland-Palatinate, is a listed church building. The church is dedicated to St. Germanus of Auxerre. The original church was built in the mid-12th century; the lower stories of the tower are all that remain of this original structure. A new building was erected after 1225 in the transitional style between Romanesque and Gothic. Extensive renovations and repairs were carried out in 1832, 1839, 1906/07, and 2007. In 1862, the church tower was raised and given a rhomboid roof. From 1966 to 1968, the building was extended according to a design by Heinrich Otto Vogel with a heptagonal, tent-shaped addition and a roof turret. The church is a three-aisled basilica with three bays and groin vaults. The chancel has a five-sided apse. The tower is slightly recessed. The Romanesque baptismal font is particularly valuable. On the east side of the church is a 165 cm high relief depicting Saint Germanus. It was created from tuff stone by the sculptor Hans Gerhard Biermann. Three historic bells hang in the church tower: the oldest is the Christ the King bell from 1337; the other two are the Mary bell from 1462 and the St. Sebastian bell from 1728. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Germanus_(Niederzissen)

The oldest part of Bürresheim Castle is the imposing keep, a 12th-century tower that clearly reflects the castle's defensive origins. Over time, the castle developed into a complex double complex, consisting of the so-called Cologne Castle and the Trier Castle, which underwent different construction and expansion phases. While the Cologne Castle formed the older part and primarily served economic purposes—leading to its eventual decline—the Trier Castle was transformed into a prestigious residential palace, which continues to shape the character of the entire complex to this day.

For me, it was the destination of the first stage of the Eifel Ladder. I was picked up by the innkeeper at my guesthouse.

The Brückentor (Bridge Gate) is one of Mayen's few remaining medieval city gates and once served as the most important entrance for travelers coming from Koblenz. Today, this historic building houses the Mayen Carnival Museum, which brings the city's long tradition of "Faasenaacht" (Carnival Night) to life.

Unfortunately, you have to cycle on a country road without a bike path. In heavy traffic, caution is advised when crossing the Abtei road.

A very beautiful market square with beautiful buildings (town hall, church, and castle). Plenty of cafés and restaurants, bakeries, etc., offer opportunities for a rest and refreshment.

The late Gothic castle was besieged, destroyed, and rebuilt several times over the course of its eventful history. The current complex consists of the upper castle with the 34-meter-high Golo Tower and the slightly lower outer castle. The castle is protected from the city by a large castle gate, and on the other side by the keep and a moat complex. The former moat is now a ring road spanned by a 20-meter-long Gothic stone bridge. The Genovevaburg Castle houses two exhibitions of the Eifel Museum: EifelTotal and the German Slate Mine.
