War Memorial Ahrweiler

Ahrweiler is the old part of Bad Neuenahr. The center is located within the old city walls.
This city wall, complete with moat, gates and towers, dates from the Middle Ages (13th century) and is still completely intact today.

On the Ahrtor, on the outside of the city wall, is the monument to the 2 world wars.
