Bitburg

Bitburg is a city in Germany, in the province of Rhineland-Palatinate roughly 25 km northwest of Trier and 50 km upper east of Luxembourg city. The American Spangdahlem Air Base is adjacent. The city's name gets from its Celtic toponym, Beda. Bitburg started around 2,000 years back as a stopover for traffic from Lyon through Metz and Trier to Cologne. The principal name referenced was Vicus Beda. Sovereign Constantine the Great extended the settlement to a street palace around 330, the focal piece of which shapes the town focus today.

Bitburg is first recorded simply after the finish of the Roman Empire around 715 as castrum bedense. It consequently turned out to be a piece of Franconia. In 1985, Bitburg came to universal consideration because of a stylized visit by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl to the adjacent Kolmeshohe Military Cemetery – which among its 2,000 graves incorporated those of 49 individuals from the Waffen-SS. The most broadly known Bitburg venture, and milestone of the city, is the Bitburger bottling works. Its Pilsener-style ale brew positions No. 3 among Germany's top of the line lagers, with offers of 3.86 million hectoliters.
