•What About Dusseldorf
On the banks of the mighty river Rhine, Dusseldorf is a notable town on Germany’s map. It is one of the vertebrae that constitute the backbone of the national economy, and it’s got everything a tourist could need.
Probably the coolest feature of this town is the ale they serve. This is not a joke, because the locals are quite proud of their unique “Altbier”. The term means “Old style beer”, and it is only valid for beer made in Dusseldorf and in the little towns near by. It’s distinctive...
•The Neanderthal Museum in Mettmann
Mettmann is a remote town set in the triangle defined by 3 German towns: Dusseldorf, Cologne and Wuppertal. It is famous for one, very important argument: it’s the place which has the Neanderthal Museum!
The Neanderthal Museum is quite famous between anthropologists. Here, in Mettmann, is where human history was drawn: in 1856 miners discovered in a cave the fossilized remains of a humanoid that apparently lived long before our times. The Wuppertal Professor Johannes Fuhlrott catalogued...

•A Short History of Lahnstein
The urban settlement of Lahnstein is thousands of years old, yet, strangely enough, it wasn't a city until the sixties. How come, you wonder? Well, in 1969 two puny cities united into one, large city. The Oberlahnstein (Upper Lahnstein) and Neiderlahnstein (Lower Lahnstein) expanded enough to touch their borders, so the locals chose to merge.
The oldest hints of ancient dwellings date back to the Stone Age, believe it or not. It likely is one of the earliest found settlements in...
