Kommende Ramersdorf, Medieval commandry in Beuel, Germany
Kommende Ramersdorf is a monastery and administrative center in Beuel with multiple buildings, a three-nave chapel, and a Romanesque portal. The complex contains various structures from different periods that form a unified historical ensemble.
The site was founded around 1230 as a commandry of the Teutonic Order and served religious and military purposes. After secularization in 1803, ownership changed several times until it was later used as a hotel and restaurant.
The chapel is dedicated to Saint George and reflects how this place served religious purposes across the centuries. Visitors can see today how the old buildings and their arrangement still show this long spiritual tradition.
The place operates today as a hotel and restaurant with options for civil wedding ceremonies in its historic spaces. Buildings are undergoing continuous renovation, so some areas may be temporarily closed to visitors.
In the 1970s, local citizens saved the site from demolition when construction of nearby highway junctions A59 and A562 was planned. This achievement shows how the community fought to preserve this historical heritage.
