Die Befestigungen und Burgen am Rhein erfullten zu allen Zeiten wichtige Funktionen und hatten einen besonderen Reiz - renommierte Forscher geben einen Uberblick uber ihre unterschiedlichen Formen und ihre Entwicklung von der Antike uber das Mittelalter und die Fruhe Neuzeit bis in die Epochen der Romantik und des modernen Tourismus unserer Tage. Von den romischen Befestigungsbauten zeugen noch heute die Reste des Limes und Relikte einiger stadtischer Legionarskastelle. Seit der Salierzeit erbauten zahlreiche Adelige am Rhein Burgen als wehrhafte Wohn- und reprasentative Herrschaftssitze. Diese dienten haufig auch dazu, sich Gefolgsleute zu sichern und finanzielle Mittel zu beschaffen. Die weltlichen und geistlichen Fursten, allen voran die rheinischen Erzbischofe, wussten sich rasch des gesamten Instrumentariums einer vielschichtigen und ausgefeilten Burgenpolitik zu bedienen. Die Einfuhrung mauerbrechender Feuerwaffen brachte fur die Burgen dann einen gravierenden Wandel. Viele wurden zerstort und aufgegeben, andere zu reprasentativen Wohnschlossern oder zu machtigen Festungen ausgebaut. Vor allem die zu Ruinen verfallenen Burgen erlebten im 19. Jahrhundert eine romantische Verklarung. Ihre bleibende Faszination macht sie heute zu attraktiven touristischen Zielen.
