Monreal A Beautiful Picturesque Town In The Eifel Germany 8K

Monreal is a beautiful picturesque town in the Eifel in Germany. The beautiful half-timbered houses, the castles and the authentic atmosphere make Monreal a must to visit when you are in the Eifel.

Monreal is located in the Volcanic Eifel , a beautiful and interesting area of ​​the Eifel. The idyllic town is located about 7 kilometers from Mayen, another beautiful and interesting place in the Eifel.

The Eifel Museum Mayen is located here, among other things . Furthermore, for example, a well-known tourist place such as Cochem is only 25 kilometers to the south. Monreal is located in the Elztal where the small river Elz (Elzbach) flows.

The history of Monreal in brief.
Monreal is already a very old town. Finds prove that the place already existed before the era. Officially (in writing) Monreal “pas” was first mentioned in the year 1229.

Monreal was then called Mons regalis, meaning King's Mountain. Around this time, Count Philipp von Virneburg transferred the area to his brother Hermann. In his order, the castle was also built to protect the place.

The place has two castles, the Löwenburg (also called Burg Monreal) and the Philippsburg.

In 1306 Monreal already received city rights. The market rights did not follow until 1642. The town was part of the Archdiocese of Trier.

However, the Count of Virneburg also had a good relationship with the Archdiocese of Cologne (Köln), which in turn led to conflicts with Trier, after which Trier decided to place its "own" people on the castle in Monreal.

Löwenstein Castle has had to endure a lot. The castle was destroyed by Swedish troops in 1632 and in 1689 it was the French who destroyed the Löwenburg.

When the 30-year war was over, an important cloth / textile industry developed in Monreal. Due to the large sheep herds around the picturesque place in the Eifel, there was of course a lot of wool available. This brought a lot of prosperity to the place and trade flourished.

Towards the end of the 19th century, however, trade collapsed due to strong competition from abroad. Soon all trade collapsed and the place grew poorer.
