Kaub, Medieval municipality on Rhine River in Rhein-Lahn-Kreis, Germany.
The Rhine town of Kaub stands 74 meters above sea level, featuring the Pfalzgrafenstein Castle built on a small island in the middle of the river.
In 1324, Ludwig the Bavarian granted Kaub its town charter, leading to the construction of a toll station on the Rhine wetlands in 1326.
The Blücher Museum, housed in an 18th-century tavern, displays artifacts from the German Liberation period and documents the Rhine crossing of 1813.
Visitors can take a ferry to explore Pfalzgrafenstein Castle, while the preserved city walls offer elevated walkways during Rhine flood periods.
The Mainzer Tower, a component of medieval fortifications, now serves as a modernized credit union building while maintaining its historical structure.
