Reading edition
The city of Andernach on the Rhine was founded by the Romans under Drusus. The Watch Tower of the legend was erected in the middle of the 15th century, and restored in 1880. Linz, also on the Rhine, is one of the fortified electoral towns. The legend here related has been versified by Karl Simrock, the poet of the Rhine.
