Monschau (French: Montjoie, Walloon: Mondjoye) is a small resort town in the Eifel region of western Germany, located in the district Aachen, North Rhine-Westphalia.
On the heights above the city is Monschau castle, which dates back to the 13th century — the first mention of Monschau was made in 1198. Beginning in 1433, the castle was used as a seat of the dukes of Jülich. In 1543, Emperor Charles V besieged it as part of the Geldern Feud, captured it and plundered the town. However, the castle stayed with Jülich until 1609, when it became part of Palatinate-Neuburg.
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 district capital of the Kreis Montjoie.
During World War I, some people argued that Monschau (or "Montjoie" as it was then still called) should be annexed to Belgium since they believed it historically to be a Walloon area that had been Germanized by the Prussians.
In 1918, William II, German Emperor, changed the name to Monschau. In 1972, the town was enlarged with the previous independent municipalities of Höfen, Imgenbroich, Kalterherberg, Konzen, Mützenich and Rohren. Mützenich, to the west of the town center, is an exclave of German territory surrounded by Belgium. It is separated from Germany by a railroad line that was assigned to Belgium by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919.

Around Christmas time in the year 1641, a man named Hendrik Busman was walking the 11-mile journey from Weeze to Geldern and stopped, as he often did, to pray at a cross along the road in Kevelaer. While praying he heard a voice say “build me a chapel on this site”.
Although obviously a religious man, he did not pay much attention, until the same thing happened two more times. Then, to further motivate him, his wife had a vision the next Easter in which she saw a chapel with a portrait of Our Lady of Luxembourg inside. As it happened she had been offered the chance to buy such an image previously but decided that it was too expensive.
This was finally the sign that convinced Hendrik that he should do as the voice commanded, and he sent his wife out to try to find the image and purchase it. After a great deal of effort she was able to do so and returned with the image.
About the Chapel:
In June 1642 the Chapel was finished and the image installed. As word spread the chapel became a place of pilgrimage throughout Germany. In September 8 of that year (Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary) a couple brought their son to the chapel. Their son had been paralyzed for 5 years, unable to walk or stand. Two days later he was able to walk and stand with no problems. After word spread of this and other cures, it became a popular place of pilgrimage.
Today, the chapel (called the Chapel of the Candles) still stands, as well as a magnificent Basilica to handle the crowds, since the small chapel does not accommodate many people. Almost one million pilgrims come here each year, primarily from the Netherlands and Germany, but from other countries as well.

Nijenbeek Castle is an old and once famous castle at te River IJssel. It was in 1361 in this castle that Reginald III (the Fat), Duke of Guelders and grandson of King Edward II of England, was imprisoned for ten years by his own brother Edward. Here Reginald became so large that he could not have left, even if the door had remained open.
When Edward died in battle in 1371 Reginald was released. According to the legend, the walls had to be cut so he could leave.
Nijenbeek has seen many winters since.

We had trouble finding good holding ground in Mayo Cove, so moved around to the next cove over, Van Geldern Cove, where we spent the night securely anchored in 40 feet of water off the little community of Home, Washington.
The pond at Schloss Haag, Geldern, Germany, which is part of the old castle moat. It's becoming more and more like a swamp though.

Ik zat laatst nog eens even wat oude foto's terug te kijken.
Daarbij kwam ik ook langs mijn foto's van mijn zomerreisjes door Noordrijn-Westfalen in 2021.
In dat jaar verbleef ik namelijk op een vakantiepark in Arcen vanuit waar per fiets naar Geldern gereden kon worden en vanaf daar kon er per trein verder gereisd worden.
Daarom had ik voor een euro of 60 een Schöneferienticket gekocht om de eerder genoemde deelstaat te ontdekken.
Waar mijn eerste dagje door wateroverlast en te hoog gegroeide begroeiing niet echt als een succes beschouwd kan worden was dag 2 toch duidelijk beter.
Zo werd de dag afgetrapt met het vastleggen van de 111 174-9 die een vervangende trein reed op de RE 3.
Deze foto moet ik ook nog altijd eens publiceren overigens, dus dat zal ik spoedig doen.
Na het reizigersverkeer werd het tijd voor het goederenverkeer en reisde ik naar het bekende Duisburg Hochfeld waar ik een foto kon maken van een ECR Class.
Vervolgens reisde ik verder naar een eveneens zeer bekende stek in Duisburg.
Namelijk het hier getoonde Entenfang.
Deze lijn waar alleen goederenverkeer rijdt is geliefd bij treinhobbyisten, omdat dit goederenverkeer ook nog eens in grote getale over deze lijn rijdt.
Daar aangekomen moest ik eerst even goed kijken wat ik nou eigenlijk precies als eerste trein voor de lens gekregen had.
Een apparaat uit Frankrijk?
Het betreft de hier getoonde BB 37029 van Captrain.
Deze reed met een beladen VTG kolentrein vanuit het Roergebied in de richting van Ratingen en mogelijkerwijs verder naar Frankrijk.
Deze trein passeerde om 14:26.
De zon was er helaas niet bij, maar toch een stuk leuker zo'n VTG kolentrein met een BB 37000 dan één met DB Cargo tomatenblikken.
