Brauweiler, Medieval monastery district in Pulheim, Germany.
The district features the Brauweiler Abbey, constructed between 1136 and 1220, with a church dedicated to Saints Nicholas and Medardus.
Founded in 1024 by Count Palatine Ezzo and his wife Matilda of Germany, the abbey served as a burial site for noble Ezzonian family members.
The Rhineland Regional Council operates cultural programs at the abbey, organizing concerts, exhibitions, symposiums, and theater performances since 1985.
The district contains key energy infrastructure, including RWE's main control room that supervises high-voltage transmission across continental Europe.
From 1933 to 1945, the abbey buildings functioned as a Gestapo prison for political dissidents, including future Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
