De Mon-Chronik-locaties

The 26 meter high Schelmenturm, or Rogue’s Tower, is the stately landmark of Monheim and the last part of a fortification built around 1425 to protect the "Freiheit Monheim".

With the historic eel fishing boat called "Fiat Voluntas", the city has landed a "real contemporary witness" for you, one which inspires its guests as an interactive museum.

In the heart of the Urdenbacher Kämpe Nature Reserve, the former Roman fort at HausBürgel is just waiting for you to discover and explore it. The Roman Museum vividly tells visitors about thelife of the soldiers once stationed here, and outside, you can even smell real plants of late antiquity.

A must for literature fans: the eponymous writer grew up here in the Ulla Hahn House. Even as a child, Ulla Hahn discovered her love of language and found a retreat for writing in the old shed behind the house.

Carnival all year round! The citizens of Monheim live and love their foolish goings-on. With the Carnival Museum in the heart of the old part of town, this tradition also has a permanent place outside the so-called "fifth season".

The "Kradepohl," or "Krötenpfuhl" (“Toad Pond”) in High German, is one of the prettiest squares in the old part of town. Here, where once frogs croaked in a fire pond is where a "tradition tree" and a fountain now stand. Shady trees and plenty of benches invite visitors to sit down and linger a while. The square is also the site of the church in the historic center of town.

Situated in a fairy-tale romantic setting, Marienburg Manor was built by the architect August Carl Lange around 1879 as a summer house for the lawyer and politician Eugen von Kesseler, both from Cologne. It was modelled on Marienburg Castle in Malbork, Poland – one of Monheim’s twin towns today.

One landmark of Monheim am Rhein that’s visible from afar is St. Mary’s Chapel. Rhine boatmen initially built a wooden chapel here in 1418, which was replaced by a late Gothic chapel made of stone in 1514.

The goose from our city coat of arms comes alive and becomes an interactive city guide. The innovative Mon-Chronik app makes this possible and links all the important sites in the urban area.
