Unkel, Urban municipality on Rhine River, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Located on the right bank of the Rhine River, Unkel spans 8.16 square kilometers and maintains an elevation of 56 meters above sea level.

During the Nazi period, Konrad Adenauer, who later became the first Chancellor of West Germany, found refuge in this Rhine municipality.

The Willy Brandt Forum functions as a local history museum, documenting the achievements of the former German Chancellor who resided in Unkel.

The municipality connects to major cities through regional trains and offers direct access to over 160 kilometers of hiking trails in Naturpark Rhein-Westerwald.

The Freiligrathaus, constructed in 1760, stands as a baroque palace where German poet Ferdinand Freiligrath developed his literary works from 1839 to 1841.
