The origins of Bacharach can be traced back to Roman times

when the wine city was known as "Baccaracus."

The Roman settlement significantly shaped the wine city's appearance

and infrastructure, still visible today in the well-preserved ruins and remains.

Due to its favorable location on the Rhine, Bacharach developed

into an important trading hub and significantly contributed

to the region's economic development.

In the Middle Ages, Bacharach experienced another boom due

to the flourishing wine trade.

This led to a golden age, reflected in the city's architecture.

The picturesque half-timbered houses and well-preserved city wall still bear

witness to this era.

Despite numerous military conflicts over the centuries,

Bacharach repeatedly managed to reinvent itself and preserve its

significance as a historic city on the Rhine.
