In 1801, Ludwig van Beethoven wrote from Vienna to his Bonn friend, Franz Gerhard Wegeler: "My fatherland, the beautiful region where I came into the world, is still so beautiful and clear in front of my eyes as when I left you. In short, I will always consider the time when I will be able to see all of you again and to welcome Father Rhine as one of the happiest of my life."

The river Rhine took Beethoven to his first public concert in Cologne in 1778. In 1783, twelve-year-old Beethoven traveled on the river right through to Rotterdam. In 1791, the Rhine is where the Court Orchestra's upriver boat trip to Mergentheim started.
