Bonn claims title of Germany's oldest city over Roman crossing
Original: Lösung des Mittwoch-Quiz: # Cäsar soll an dieser Stelle in # beuel # schwarzrheindorf den # rhein überschritten haben un
A local quiz answer has drawn attention to Schwarzrheindorf in Bonn-Beuel, the spot where Julius Caesar is said to have crossed the Rhine and where a bridge was reportedly built in 11 BC. The claim is being used to argue that Bonn is the oldest city in Germany, a point of civic pride that residents are sharing alongside their free walking tour offerings.
Why now: The local greeter community's Wednesday quiz revived a Roman-era claim that supports Bonn's boast of being Germany's oldest city.
