Neuwied

Neuwied is a town on the right bank of the Rhine in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, north-west of Koblenz. Founded in 1653 by Count Frederick III of Wied, it grew as a planned residence town that welcomed religious minorities, among them Mennonites, Moravian Brethren and Jews. It was famous for the Roentgen furniture workshop and passed to Prussia in 1815.
