History On July 1, 1969, Kommern was incorporated into Veytal. Before this incorporation, Kommern was an independent municipality that took on its current form under the long-time municipal director Norbert Leduc (in office from 1953 to 1969): In 1958, Kommern was chosen as the site of the Rhenish Open-Air Museum. Since the 1960s, Kommern has been a climatic health resort. The Mühlensee lake also dates from this period. It dams the Bleibach stream in the form of a small reservoir. This allows the lead sludge that the stream brings from the lead mine where it originates to settle harmlessly. Previously, the stream flooded the meadows along its banks in the spring, which regularly caused livestock to become ill due to the lead content of the grass. On 1 January 1972, the municipality of Veytal (with the exception of the district of Schwerfen, which became part of the town of Zülpich) was incorporated into the municipality (now the town) of Mechernich.

Blankenheim Castle is a castle complex above the municipality of Blankenheim in the Eifel. It was built as a hilltop castle around 1115 by Gerhard I and was the ancestral seat of the Blankenheim family.

Bad Münstereifel, also known as Outlet City, is a very lively Eifel town. Many outdoor shops and fashion stores are located in the city center. A lot was destroyed in the 2021 flood, but much more has been rebuilt/reproduced here than in many other affected communities.

In addition to the many events, the castle also has a history. Experts consider it to be the best preserved moated castle in the Rhineland in its original structure, a gem of Rhenish castle building and a monument to aristocratic culture and way of life. Setzvey Castle is a typical moated castle, such as those built by the ministerial nobility in the 14th and 15th centuries in the lowlands, while the high nobility built hilltop castles that were difficult to conquer. The lack of a mountain as a natural obstacle for attackers had to be replaced by moats that were difficult to overcome. For this reason, moated castles were usually built on two islands and were almost always located near a stream that supplied the moats with water. The more heavily fortified main castle was therefore additionally protected by the outer castle on the second island.
