    The history of Monschau goes back to the Middle Ages. The city was first mentioned in documents in the 12th century and developed into an important trading center over the centuries. The favorable location on the Rur and on important trade routes helped Monschau become a wealthy place.

    In the 14th century the city received city charter and became an important center for cloth production. In the 16th century, Monschau experienced a heyday as a production site for lace and fabrics.

    During the Thirty Years´ War, Monschau was occupied and looted by troops several times, which led to an economic decline. In the 18th century, however, the city experienced a new heyday as a center of the wool industry.

    In the 19th century, Monschau became part of Prussia and experienced a renewed upswing as a result of industrialization. The city developed into an important location for textile factories and mechanical engineering.

    Monschau was heavily damaged during the Second World War, the old town in particular was badly damaged. However, extensive restoration work was carried out in the following years to restore the historic buildings.

    Today Monschau is an attractive tourist destination that attracts visitors from all over the world. The city´s rich history can still be felt in the well-preserved old town and in the numerous sights such as the Red House Museum and Monschau Castle.
