Blankenheim, Municipality in Euskirchen district, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Blankenheim is a municipality in the Euskirchen district comprising seventeen subdivisions spread across the Eifel hills. The area sits at an elevation of about 455 meters in a rolling landscape.
The settlement was first recorded in 721 as Blancio and later became an important regional center in the Eifel area. This long history shaped the character of the municipality.
The local name Blangem reflects the dialect spoken in this region. Traditional festivals throughout the year connect residents to their community and customs.
The municipality is located in North Rhine-Westphalia and is well connected by road to larger centers in the region. The area appeals to visitors interested in exploring the Eifel countryside.
The river Ahr originates from inside a half-timbered house in the town center and begins its journey from that point. This unusual combination of nature and architecture makes the place remarkable.
