Salvatorianer Kloster Steinfeld

Kall

Visit the Salvatorian Monestry Steinfeld with three characteristic towers.
The monastery together with its Basilica belongs to the most important medieval monuments in the Rhineland. Its beginnings go back to the time of Henry I (919 - 936). The basilica attached to the monastery was built between 1142 and 1150 as one of the earliest German vaulted churches by Premonstratensians.

Inside, the late Gothic vault paintings of the painter Hubert von Aachen and a rich baroque decoration have been preserved. The basilica is world-famous for its unique royal organ from 1727 as well as the mortal remains of Saint Hermann Josef. Today pilgrims put apples on his sarcophagus.

After secularization in 1802, Steinfeld Monastery served secular purposes until it was taken over by the Order of the Salvatorians in 1923. Today you will find there the academy Kloster Steinfeld, an educational and guest house as well as a grammar school. The monastery in its entire complex is considered one of the best preserved monastic monuments in the Rhineland and is located directly on the Eifelsteig hiking trail.  Explore the monastery grounds or relax in the centuries-old monastery garden with its natural cathedral and walk-in labyrinth. The guesthouse on four-star level invites you to stay longer.

Langendorf Castle, © Paul Meixner

Burg Langendorf

Langendorf Castle was first mentioned in 1240. The oldest part of the main building dates back to the 15th century and was expanded around 1498 to include the courtrooms. The castle has been in family ownership since 1880 and was passed on to the then-20-year-old heir Manfred Vetter in 1957 - with the aim of restoring and revitalizing the heavily damaged castle. “Concert in the Barn” - from 1994 to 2010, more than 120 concerts featuring young musicians took place in the barn of the castle. The international historical fire helmet collection with approximately 300 helmets was incorporated into the foundation in 2010. The open-air stage, used only ten times, was donated to the Euskirchen district at the end of 2010 for events by schools, clubs, and others. The castle (cellar ground floor and outside) is available for group tours by arrangement.

No sooner have people left the horrors of the two world wars behind them than the next war is already looming - the Cold War.  These are the years of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall and nuclear armament.  The great powers USA and the Soviet Union threaten each other with ever more powerful nuclear weapons.  At any time the cold war can turn into a hot one.
