Königswinter, Municipality in Rhein-Sieg district, Germany.
The town extends along the eastern bank of the Rhine River at the base of Siebengebirge mountains, with an elevation of 63 meters above sea level.
The Drachenfels Castle, initiated in 1138 and completed in 1149, sits atop a hill overlooking the municipality, representing medieval defensive architecture in the region.
The German Government uses Hotel Petersberg, located at the mountain peak above Königswinter, for hosting international conferences and accommodating visiting world leaders.
Travelers can access Königswinter through its railway stations on the Rhine East Bank line or via ferries that connect the town to Bad Godesberg.
The Drachenfels mountain contains a cave linked to Germanic mythology, where legend states the hero Siegfried defeated a dragon before the stone was quarried.
