Boppard

Boppard stretches along the western bank of the Rhine River, featuring medieval walls, Gothic churches, and the 14th-century archbishop's castle within its boundaries.

The settlement evolved from the Roman fort Baudobriga to a free imperial city in the Middle Ages, maintaining its status until 1309 under the Holy Roman Empire.

The town preserves its medieval character through the Romanesque Church of St. Severus, Gothic Carmelite Church, and multiple annual wine festivals celebrating regional traditions.

The Boppard Hauptbahnhof railway station connects to major cities, while the surrounding 75 hectares of vineyards produce Riesling and Pinot Noir varieties.

The Hospital zum Heiligen Geist, established through medieval noble family donations, continues to function as a social institution in the contemporary period.
