Original Narrative: The appearance of the city of Boppart, from its antiquity, is of a dark and sombre character, but is greatly relieved by the verdant foliage of the trees in the vicinity, backed by the lofty mountains rising in three gradations one above the other, each forming a spacious platform covered with woods or cultivated fields. On the right, the mountains are nearly clothed with vines, intersected even to the summits with artificial terraces. Boppart, the Bodabriga and Boperdia of the Romans, contains about 3,000 inhabitants, and owes its origin to the erection of one of the castles of Drusus. The Kings of Franconia afterwards built a palace here, the ruins of which are still extant, and a small stream which falls into the Rhine has acquired in consequence the name of Kbnigsbach, or King's rivulet. It then was created an Imperial city, but was transferred in 1312, by the Emperor Henry the Seventh to his brother Baldwin, Archbishop of Treves, who annexed it to the Electorate.
