After centuries in the possession of the von Isenburg family, the castle changed hands several times over the course of history. Since the 20th century, it has been partially open to the public and today serves as a venue for weddings, parties and cultural events. The combination of history and modern use makes Arenfels Castle a living cultural monument in the Rhineland.

Zwirner significantly modified the medieval castle, giving it the characteristic appearance that is admired today. In doing so, he added, among other things, the 365 windows, 52 doors and 12 towers that made the castle the "Castle of the Year", a playful allusion to the days, weeks and months of a year.

Arenfels Castle has a long and fascinating history dating back to the 13th century. The castle was originally built around 1258 by Gerlach von Isenburg to secure and control the surrounding lands. However, the current castle dates largely from the 19th century, when the Prussian architect Ernst Friedrich Zwirner - known for his work on Cologne Cathedral - had the building redesigned in the neo-Gothic style.

Here you can marvel at beautiful old half-timbered houses.

In the historic town of Ahrweiler, an old custom has been preserved over the centuries. The city consists of four districts, the so-called Huts. In earlier times, these guards organized the guarding of the city wall and the pastures around it. Today, the Hut communities have taken on other tasks, such as looking after senior citizens or cultural tasks. One of these four Huts in Ahrweiler is the Ahrhut and the center of this district is the Ahrhutstrasse. We introduce the street and the tradition of the Ahrhut community. It also shows that Ahrhutstrasse, with the mighty Ahrtor, is not only rich in history, but also a very lively shopping street. There are many shops, cafes and restaurants on the street and there is always something going on during the day. Friedhelm Koll's shop is a very special shop. He sells more than 100 types of spices, by the gram. It is shops like this that give Ahrhutstrasse its special charm. And the houses with tradition, such as the Coels winery. It is the last wine-growing business in the Ahrhutstrasse and yet, or perhaps because of that, it is particularly successful. And the future of the winery is already secured because the next generation has just taken over. Source: https://www.swr Fernsehen.de/landesschau-rp/hierzuland/broadcastcontrib-swr-6178.html

Beautiful half-timbered houses on the Rhine promenade, which are mainly used by restaurants.

The path is tough, but so is the view. The Landskrone is also visible from afar, for orientation. Only on New Year's Eve should you think twice whether you want to go here... because many people have the idea, fireworks are sometimes shot across, and if something happens then it could take a while for help to arrive (fortunately that didn't happen to us back then).

The climb to Saffenburg is worth it: Not only does the perfect view over Mayschuss and its vineyards await you here, you can also reward yourself with a delicious glass of wine at any time. Next to the refuge there is a wine vending machine with delicious white, rosé and red wines as well as grape juice and water. Glasses are also available for loan. Payment is only possible cashless.
