Notgeld Ahrweiler 1923
This page contains Notgeld banknotes that were issued in 1923 by the municipalities of
Ahrweiler. Ahrweiler is a district in the north of the German state Rhineland-Palatinate.
The region was conquered by the Romans under Julius Caesar about 50 BC. Some hundred years later the Roman fort of Rigomagus was founded, later to become the city of Remagen. The Vinxtbach, a narrow brook and an affluent of the Rhine, was defined as the borderline between the Roman provinces of Germania superior and Germania inferior.
Many towns were first mentioned in the 9th century, among them Ahrweiler and Sinzig. In 1180 the Holy Roman Emperor Barbarossa chose Sinzig as a place to meet the envoys of France and Flanders. Another significant place was the Abbey of Maria Laach on the Laacher See, a lake in the southeast of the district.
In the early years of the Holy Roman Empire there was an earldom of Ahr, but it was annexed by the bishop of Cologne in 1246. Afterwards Remagen became the most important town of the region.
The districts of Ahrweiler and Adenau were established in 1816, just after Prussia occupied the Rhineland. The district of Adenau was merged with Ahrweiler in 1932.
Ahrweiler is also characterised by orchards and vineyards. The lower Ahr River is one of the northernmost viniculture regions of Germany, known for its Burgundy red wines. The Nürburgring, a famous Formula One circuit, is located in the district.
