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.

The Erft River in Bad Münstereifel

Highlight • River

A - normally - so small and lovely river can cause so incredibly large damage. As late as September 2022, the flood damage from the heavy rain catastrophe of July 2021, which devastated the center of Bad Münstereifel, among other things, has not been repaired everywhere.

Open staircase at the Erft / Flood memorial

Highlight • Monument

It was unimaginable in advance and still incomprehensible now that a - normally - small and lovely river like the Erft can cause such incredible damage, as happened in the heavy rain disaster of July 2021, among others in Bad Münstereifel.

Burgmannen House, Bad Münstereifel

Highlight • Historical Site

The building was built in 1525 as a castle house. In the outer wall there is a piece of sintered limestone, which probably comes from the Roman Eifel water pipe. In the courtyard there was a remnant of the city wall with traces of an archway until 1975. In 1571, Duke Wilhelm von Jülich enfeoffed Anton zu Eltz and his wife's brother, Bernhard von Metternich, with the castle house in Münstereifel in the old lane. Around 1600 the fiefdom was transferred to the guardian of Anton zu Eltz's minor children. This was Johann von Eltz, rural commander of the Ballei Lorraine. In 1622, Count Palatine Wolfgang Wilhelm was named as feudal lord. In 1702, Count Palatine Johann Wilhelm enfeoffed Werner Friedrich Anton, Johann Wilhelm and Bertram von Harff (sons of Phil. Wilhelm von Harff) with the castle house in the old street.

Historic Old Town of Bad Münstereifel

Highlight • Historical Site

Bad Münstereifel is a historically grown romantic town with picturesque half-timbered houses, a lively pedestrian zone with attractive shops and many lively cafés along the Erft.

The historic town center with its narrow streets and alleys can be reached via four historically significant city gates in the four cardinal directions. The castle complex towers above the city. From here you can enjoy a magnificent view over Bad Münstereifel.
Since 2014, the City Outlet has been housed in the historic old town area. It is also worth taking a look around here.
