Neuwied

Neuwied is best known in Rhineland-Palatinate for its long Rhine embankment, a defining feature of this right-bank city north of Koblenz. The town occupies the Neuwied Basin, where the river broadens between the Eifel to the west and the Westerwald to the east. Founded in 1653 by Count Frederick III of Wied, Neuwied developed under a policy of religious tolerance that attracted communities and skilled craftspeople from across Europe. Its association with the furniture makers Abraham and David Roentgen is preserved at the Roentgen-Museum, while the 18th-century Schloss Engers stands in the riverside district of Engers.
