Detailed description

With the night watchman through the old village and the young city
Historic Tour Rennerod

The night watchman welcomes you to Rennerod.
Rennerod is the seat of the Verbandsgemeinde Rennerod and thus almost the center point of the Hohen Westerwald. City is the place only since 1971; Before it was a village. But a big village and already from time immemorial with certain center functions. Follow the night watchman on his tour of the old village or the young city. His face has changed Rennerod especially in the last 50 years. The settlement has spread over the whole of the country and has grown strongly in population terms. Much has changed. The people as well as the buildings, the social life as well as the technology. Even innovations were not always a long life. The train station, for example, was not even 100 years in operation. The last official carnival night watchman would probably not be able to manage in today's town.

Our tour takes us along the main street or along the old streets that run parallel to the main road. Rennerod was a Straßendorf and so to this day the street has remained the city center. In contrast to "grown" old cities, the old town is not grouped around a historical market square. Even today's "good place of the city", the St. Hubertusplatz, is newly designed and was only handed over to its destination in 2012. Much is new in the city. Only the night watchman can still show you the old racing death. Follow him on his tour through the centuries.
