Bad Münstereifel is one of the cities which are known
everywhere in the world. Everyday a lot of tourist come to Bad Münstereifel
to visit the houses made of stone and wood. The Erft flows through
the city. This was very important in the middle ages. In earlier times
the city was part of the `Partei Prüm´ which was founded 760
a. c..
In 830 a. c. the third abbot of Prüm had built
a monastery. This church got in 844 a. c.the relics of Chrisatus and Daria.
In 898 Münstereifel got the market- and customs rights. And in 1086
a. c. it became officially a city. In the next century’s there was a fight
between Jülich and cologne. Everybody tried to get Münstereifel
and at last Jülich got Münstereifel till the French’s in 1792
attacked. In 1451 there was the plague so that there hardly lived somebody.
Then there came fight on fight and Münstereifel had to feed the army
which just was in the city it doesn’t matter if there were their own army
or the army of their enemies. There wasn’t any decade without a fight,
this why Bad Münstereifel was a long time a very poor city. But this
is why in Bad Münstereifel are so many houses made of stone and wood.
So it was good and bad that Münstereifel was so poor.

And finally the teacher Boris Loske
Our teacher, Mr. Loske, taking a break. (We had to chain him up to
keep him from giving us new things to work on.)
The thing we chained him to is the old town pillory which still exists
as it did in medieval times.
It's always a laugh with the tourists.
