The presentation of archaeological finds, an inheritance dispute involving a Wiedisch pastor, a trip to Indonesia with Neuwied sailors on board, local events such as a tavern brawl or the dwarf school in the lost Rockefeld - the Local History Yearbook 2024 has a lot to offer on 448 pages.
This year's cover is adorned with an aerial view of the Monrepos monument zone and the calendar shows rare bird species in the Rhine-Westerwald Nature Park.
As part of the presentation of the new yearbook, it is almost a tradition to pay tribute to those authors who have contributed to its success for decades. This year's honoree was Bernd Willscheid, long-time director of the Roentgen Museum, who will be taking his well-deserved retirement at the turn of the year.
The book has been published in an edition of 2,300 copies and is available from the Waldbreitbach Tourist Information Office at a price of €8.00.
