Turner's Viewpoint, Bad Kreuznach

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this point, William Turner created the sketch for the watercolor "Kreuznach on the Nahe."
William Turner was a leading representative of the Romantic movement. He is considered one of the most important European artists.
From 1802 onward, Turner undertook journeys that took him along the Rhine through Switzerland to Venice and Rome. He was passionate about travel and created countless sketches and watercolors. In the summer of 1844, at the age of 70, his penultimate journey took him through the Rhine Valley to Switzerland. He also traveled through the valleys of the Moselle, Nahe, and Neckar.

Historic Old Town, Bad Kreuznach

Highlight • Historical Site

Old new town or historic old town? There can be confusion if you are not from Bad Kreuznach. In Bad Kreuznach, however, one thing is clear: the new town is the old town, i.e. the historical center of Bad Kreuznach.
This oddity is historical. Originally there were two settlements on the left and right of the Nahe, which were repeatedly devastated by armed conflicts. At the beginning of the 13th century, Count Gottfried von Sponheim had the Kauzenburg built above the north bank of the Nahe. The construction of a new city began, the "Neustadt".
It covers the area between the Alter Nahebrücke and Hofgartenstraße as well as between the palace gardens and the Stadthaus. It is characterized by its marketplaces, romantic half-timbered houses, narrow streets and striking monuments.
Again and again there was and is a dispute about the name: "Neustadt" in the sense of the proper name or "Altstadt" in today's sense of a city function. In April 2013, the Bad Kreuznach City Council officially put an end to the discussions by deciding to name it "Kreuznacher Neustadt - Historischer Stadtkern".
