One of many beautiful towns along the Rhine.

Again a beautiful point, with many opportunities for a beautiful photo.

There is really a great view at every point here, with the most beautiful photo motifs.

Nice old town, but the Rhine towns all seem pretty dusty. The great shine seems to have passed, a noticeably few houses have been renovated.

Oberwesel is also very beautiful without a bike. From the train station, day ticket € 2.00 parking fee, everything is well signposted. I'm over the city wall, you're up to Cherry St, Martin. Through the city garden, with its own wall and a view of the old monastery. Then to the castle and back over the Elfenley. From there you have a beautiful view of Oberwesel. With many photo stops, it took me less than 5 hours for the whole hike. But far from seeing everything. Unfortunately it is very foggy at the moment. As a result, the distance view is severely limited. The color spectacle makes up for it with a real intoxication! (My photos)

The Loreley open-air stage The Turner Labor Service began work on the Loreley open-air stage in 1932. The stage was originally intended for the RheinMain-Spielring, but this construction project was appropriated by the National Socialists the following year and rededicated as a "NS celebration site" and a "Thing site". The construction work lasted until 1939 and was carried out by members of the Labor Service. The spectators of the open-air stage received 4,300 seats and 10,000 to 14,000 standing places. The inauguration was on June 21, 1939. Only three days later, the first performance of Wilhelm Tell took place. The stage was not only intended for theatrical events, but was also intended to serve as a backdrop for large party events. Rock and pop concerts have also been held on the Loreley open-air stage since 1976. Genesis gave their first rock concert on July 3, 1976. On 6/17/78, Grace Slick refused to perform with Jefferson Starship, leading to riots and vandalism. "This also helped many amateur bands suddenly to have professional equipment in their rehearsal cellars" can still be read in the social networks today. From 1981, the Rockpalast also took place several times on the open-air stage. Many well-known artists performed, including BAP, Barclay James Harvest, Bob Dylan, Joe Cocker, Die Toten Hosen, Böhse Onkelz, Herbert Grönemeyer, Peter Maffay, Marillion, Gary Moore, Metallica, Chris Rea, Frankie Miller, Eric Burdon, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Udo Jürgens, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Carlos Santana, Paul Simon, Simple Minds, Sting, The Police, The Sisters of Mercy, Dus40, R.E.M. The Kelly Family, U2, Journey, Toto and Whitesnake. Source: Text information board / text excerpts from Wikipedia

In an exposed place The almost flat plateau of the Loreley high above the Rhine has been an ideal place for people to stay and settle since time immemorial. On the edge of the plateau, Paleolithic tools of Homo erectus made of rubble and flakes were found - at that time, about 800,000 years ago, the waves of the Rhine sloshed onto the bank at this point. When the hunters and gatherers settled down around 8000 AD, they also cleared forests on the Loreley plateau for agriculture. The so-called Bandkeramik people who lived at that time settled in large families in long wooden houses, which were divided into residential and commercial areas. Two long houses in the Loreley area from this period have been identified, in which decorated ceramic vessels were found. In the subsequent Bronze Age, the plateau was still inhabited, as can be proven by flat graves with urn burials from the epoch of the urn field culture (9th century BC). At the turn of the Celtic period (around 800 BC), when times became more troubled due to the invasion of Eastern European steppe peoples, the inhabitants fortified their settlement with a palisade wall. In the centuries that followed, this rampart was reinforced by a second ring and a ditch dug into the rock. Iron weapons and tools, bronze jewellery, ceramic vessels, numerous graves with extensive grave goods indicate the importance of the settlement and a certain wealth of the population in Celtic times. The plateau was also used in Roman times. The population, who mixed Roman influence with their Celtic roots, made a good living by supplying the Roman military on the Rhine and the nearby Limes with food and goods. Near the Loreley are the remains of a villa rustica (Roman estate) and an ancient water pipe from the 2nd to 4th centuries AD. The settlement was probably abandoned in the middle of the 5th century. Only as part of the Frankish conquest did the fertile plateau around the Loreley rocks be settled again from the 7th century. Source: text information board

Significant and fateful The origin of the name Loreley has only been partially clarified. The root of the word ley is the typical name for a slate rock in the Rhine Valley, which is why the craftsmen who covered the roofs with slabs of slate were called Leyendecker. For the first part of the name, however, there are various meaningful interpretations. The term may derive from luren, which means to lurk or look out. Certainly the rock was always an ideal place to observe the Rhine from here. On the other hand, the name could also mean that the rocks are lurking here for the boatmen or, at the foot of the mountain, the salmon catcher for his prey: However, the derivation from the word lurren, a medieval term for roaring, also makes sense: the roaring mountain as a reference to the extraordinary echo that was once heard here. After all, the name could also have been chosen in honor of the legendary dwarf king Laurin Luarin or the Celtic river god Lohra. In the Middle Ages. the entire central Rhine mountain range was named after the legendary rock. In the 10th or 11th century, an anonymous writer added the note Mons Lurlaberch - Loreleygebirge - to the description of a spook near Caputmontium, today's Bingen-Kempten, in the Fulda Annals from the 9th century to determine the location. The songs of medieval minnesingers express the extraordinary nature of the rock. Thus the Colmar song manuscript from the 13th century describes the dwarf living in the rock as the cause of the most unique echo: do horte: I answered a cleynes getwerc / uss the lorberg he seemed to me at all (then I heard a small dwarf coming out of the Loreleyberg seemed to answer) In the famous Heidelberger Liederhandschrift the Codex Manesse it even says: De Ymelunge hort lit in dem Lurlenberge (The Nibelungen Hort lies in the Loreleyberg).
