Werther Gate, Bad Münstereifel

Highlight • Monument

The Werther Gate, located in the north of the old town, is the youngest of the four city gates. It was rebuilt after it collapsed during a flood in 1416. On the exterior, above the arched portal, hang the coats of arms of the Duchy of Jülich and the city of Münstereifel. The building now houses the Natural History Museum.

Bad Münstereifel City Wall

Highlight • Monument

The starting point for the settlement of Münstereifel was the founding of a monastery by the Prüm Benedictine abbey in the first half of the 9th century. The monastery experienced rapid growth after the acquisition of the relics of St. Chrysanthus and Daria as a sought-after place of pilgrimage from 844.

At the end of the 13th century and in the first half of the 14th century, under the rule of the Dukes of Jülich, the entire settlement of “Moenstere in der Eyffelen” was secured by walling as a valley fortress against the Archdiocese of Cologne. According to Renard, “Rheinische Städtebilder, p. 116”, Bad Münstereifel is considered “the clearest and best-preserved, but also the only example of systematic walling of an entire valley section” (in Germany)! The castle, as part of the curtain wall, was first mentioned in a document in 1317. Initially as the seat of the Lords of Jülich - Bergheim, later as the state castle of the Dukes of Jülich as the official residence of the bailiff and bailiff. The castle was destroyed in 1689 by troops of the French King Louis

Werkbrücke and St. Michael's Statue, Bad Münstereifel

Highlight • Bridge

The Erft, which flows through the city wall into the city center at the Werkbrücke, is crossed by numerous stone bridges. They give the old town of Bad Münstereifel a particularly romantic appearance. It is not without reason that the brick embankments are used in summer by numerous street cafés, which invite you to linger with their colorful parasols.

Heisterbacher Tor

Highlight • Historical Site

The Heisterbach Gate is located in the southwest and was due to be demolished in the 19th century. This was prevented. The overroom for the historic battlement was rebuilt. Today, the rooms house a jewelry store.
