Blankenheim's Historic Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Take your time and admire the historic town center. It is fascinating with its beautiful half-timbered houses and the Ahr spring, which is located in the middle of the town.

St. George's Gate (Blankenheim)

Highlight • Historical Site

In 1672, Count Salentin Ernst von Manderscheid-Blankenheim (1630–1705) ordered the expansion and restoration of the town's fortifications. The construction of the fortifications involved the inclusion of the town's extended valley location, beyond which it would not expand significantly until the middle of the 20th century. Part of the expansion was the so-called "external" gate, i.e. the most remote one, which also represented the western end. According to Ernst Wackenroder, there are floor plans and elevations of this gate from 1670, but these were never built. In 1702, the gate was referred to as St. George's Gate.

Ahr Spring (Source of the Ahr) in Blankenheim

Highlight • Natural Monument

A source that springs from under a house. Very inconspicuous, but you shouldn't miss it when visiting Blankenheim 👍

Today I took the gravel bike first. Not a good idea as the paths were muddy and partly icy. The temperature was accordingly. The Festiva demands a lot when you are in the Eifel.
