An Unplanned, But Enjoyable Trip | My unforgettable stay in Neuwied |
During my business trip to Altenkirchen, Westerwald, I was taken to this wonderful city and spent a day there.
I have never planned visiting this city and was glad to use that opportunity of exploring another city in that province.

| | Some History
The history of the city dates back to the 17th century. Neuwied was founded by Count Frederick of Wied in 1653, near the village of Langendorf. The village was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. The town rapidly increased owing to the toleration accorded to all religious sects. Among those who sought refuge here was a colony of Moravian Brethren. They built a huge cathedral that proudly towers in one of the central streets of Neuwied now. Pictures of NeuwiedAbout Neuwied in English

Beautiful Neuwied page! I found your accommodation tip/s very helpful!! Speaking of accommodation, it does touch me that "Holsteiner Hof" at Timmendorfer Strand is among your favs (hotels) as TS is such a small spot (yet truly lovely). | Kuznetsov_Sergey Fri Jul 11, 2008 19:28 UTC
A day trip there was also a success, I think! Thanks Victor for discovery this town for VTs (no VT-page except yours here!). | SteveOSF Thu Apr 24, 2008 00:22 UTC
