A legend tells of Roland, Charlemagne's vassal. When news reached him after a battle in Spain that Roland had fallen, his beloved, Hildegunde, fled to the Nonnenwerth Monastery. Roland survived and, upon his return, built a hermitage on the hill, from where he gazed down at the monastery day in and day out, mourning. This story also touched Konrad Adenauer, who became engaged here.

The Rolandsbogen is a dream place for unforgettable moments. Konrad Adenauer became unofficially engaged to his first wife Emma Weyer here. You can say yes high above the Rhine!

Gastronomy at Rolandsbogen after reopening very pleasant: Walker furnished winter garden with spectacular views. Delicious plates, coffee and cake.
