Prum: Hahnplatz
Prüm sits on the Prüm River in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, where wooded Eifel hills surround a compact town centre. Hahnplatz forms the civic heart of the town, dominated by the twin-towered Basilica of St Salvator, the church of the former Benedictine Abbey of Prüm. Founded in 721, the abbey became an important Carolingian monastery and helped shape Prüm’s place in the medieval Eifel. Its Baroque basilica and adjoining abbey buildings give the square a formal architectural focus, while the wider Eifel is defined by rolling uplands, forests and small river valleys. Prüm lies close to the German-Belgian border.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
