City trip*Monschau*
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
In 1795 the French captured the area, and under the name Montjoie made it the capital of a canton of the Roer département. After the area became part of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815, Monschau became the capital of a district, the Kreis Montjoie.
During World War I some people argued that Monschau, or as these people still called it Montjoie, should be annexed to Belgium since it was a historically Walloon area that had been Germanized by the Prussians.[1]
In 1918 William II, German Emperor, changed the name to Monschau.
In 1972 the town was enlarged with the previous independent municipalities Höfen, Imgenbroich, Kalterherberg, Konzen, Mützenich and Rohren. |

Good Evening, John, my friend!
Wow, what a breathtaking POV of this fabulous town with great architecture.
The colors are perfectly shown. I like the sharpness and DOF. The flowing rivulet adds great mood into this shot.
Lovely composition!
