The Rudemsmännchen is a ghost that haunts the forest. Many years ago, disputes arose between Klüsserath and Thörnich about the boundary of the districts. Each municipality claimed that a certain part of the Rudem Forest belonged to its district.

🌉 The Moselle bridge in Bernkastel-Kues is far more than just a transport link – it is the vital artery that connects the two very different districts of Bernkastel (old town) and Kues (plateau & hospital).

According to local legend, the Rudemsmännchen is a ghost who, during his lifetime, committed serious fraud in disputes over borders and is now forced to haunt the area as punishment.
