Frechen

Frechen combines a long ceramics tradition with the everyday rhythm of a Cologne-side town in a way that reflects its geographic position between the Rhine plain and the wooded Ville hills. The city belongs to the Rhein-Erft district immediately west of Cologne, and its connections to the larger metropolis shape commuting, shopping and local life. Frechen’s potters became known for salt-glazed stoneware, including expressive Bartmann jugs traded far beyond the Rhineland. That heritage has a dedicated home at Keramion, a museum and centre for ceramic art. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Frechen and the Rhineland.
