Blankenheim

In the middle of the historic center of the small castle town of Blankenheim, not far from the source of the Ahr, lies the quaint Eifel Museum, which is also home to the Tourist Information. Here you can learn interesting facts about the history of the earth and the nature of the northwestern Eifel. Eifel pictures of different artists will be exhibited in the museum in the future, in addition, various temporary exhibitions invite you to visit.

 In the associated Gildehaus, the focus is on the history of Blankenheim and its Roman villa. The Gildehaus, a half-timbered building of the Blankenheim clothiers' guild, houses the exhibition on Blankenheim's territorial history "Burg und Herrschaft - 900 Jahre Blankenheim 1115 - 2015" and the art exhibition of the famous Eifel painter Fritz von Wille. In addition, the Gildehaus is home to the information center "VIA Erlebnisraum Römerstraße \ Agrippastraße - Via Belgica".

The central theme of the information center is rural life in Roman times as well as the history of the Roman villa Blankenheim. Take a walk from the Gildehaus to the Roman villa 800 meters away, which is opened to the public by a modern architectural design. Or explore the beautiful hiking and biking trails around Blankenheim. Admission to the Eifel Museum and the Gildehaus is free on all opening days.

LVR-Freilichtmuseum Kommern

History comes alive at the LVR open-air museum in Kommern: Chickens run around between the houses and peck at the ground, cattle graze peacefully in the pasture and fresh bread smells waft from the bakery. Visitors can wander through five different assemblies and their buildings. The journey through time in the Rhineland begins at the end of the 15th century and ends with the 20th century. Exhibitions and various festivals and markets, such as the Anno Dazumal fair, round off the museum experience.

No sooner have people left the horrors of the two world wars behind them than the next war is already looming - the Cold War.  These are the years of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall and nuclear armament.  The great powers USA and the Soviet Union threaten each other with ever more powerful nuclear weapons.  At any time the cold war can turn into a hot one.
