Adenau

The town of Adenau, located in the Eifel, a mountain range stretching west to Belgium, is known since 992 when it was mentioned in a document by King Otto III under the name "Adenova".

In 1162, Ulrich von Are donated his manor in Adenau to the Knights of St. John (Sovereign Military Order of Malta). Adenau thus became the third oldest branch of this order in Germany.

Near Adenau (btw) is the Nuerburgring, known for F1 races and the festival "Rock am Ring".

The large half-timbered house in the centre was built in 1630.
