I think it began in the mid 400s and started because it developed a major avenue for transportation

The Rhine river is an European river that runs through the following countries: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and Netherlands. The river rises in the Swiss Alps.

From the Celtic word 'Renos'

The average discharge into the North Sea is 70,629 cubic feet per second

The Rhine River is present in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. It also flows through France, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

The river Rhine flow from the Swiss Alps to the North Sea.

The Rhine initially flows north into the Bodensee (a lake) which is on the border of Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

It leaves the Bodensee at Konstanz, and flows west to Basel.

At Basel it turns north again, and forms the border between France and Germany.

The Rhine is navigable from Basel to the sea.

After Basel it flows near to Strasbourg, and then Mainz.

From Bingen to Koblenz is a stretch known as the 'Rhine Gorge', which is a tourist area.

After Koblenz come Köln (Cologne) and Düsseldorf. It crosses into the Netherlands, just after the border the Rhine Delta starts. Each branch of the Rhine has a different name, and none of them are called 'Rhine'.

The largest branch reaches the North Sea at Rotterdam.

The Rhine river flows from the Alps to the North sea.

The Alps, like the Rocky Mountains in the US, carry some serious ammounts of snow that melts in the Spring.

The two majhor rivers on the nort side of the Alps are the Rhine and the Danube.

so when the snow melts these two rivers have to deal with the extra meltwater causing some flooding.

There are 30 castles on the Rhine

The source of a river is called its headwater, and the width of a headwater depends on its depth and volume.

The Rhine River flows into the North Sea near Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

Rhine's length is 820 miles (1,320 kilometers).

420 km

1. easy access to water for the residents

2. in medieval times land transport was inefficient - the roads were usually poor, unpaved and carts could carry small quantities of goods. being located next to a river meant supplies could be transported by ships/boats - they carry more cargo more effectively.

3. protection - if one side of the castle was built along the bank of the river, approaching the castle from this direction would be difficult. The enemy must cross the river slowly in boats, while coming under fire from the soldiers in the castle.

There are many ports on the river Rhine. For example Karlsruhe, Mainz, Cologne (Köln), Düsseldorf.

The Danube is 1794 miles long, the Rhine is 820 miles long

The western limit of the Ruhr area is in the city of Duisburg.

That's where the Ruhr river joins the Rhine river.

Duisburg also has a fairly good sized port.

Most good would go down stream from there to the Netherlands

ending up in the Port of Rotterdam with then access to the

North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

The Rhine and Rhone are two of the major rivers of Europe. Both rivers run through the countries of France and Switzerland.

The North Sea, which is part of the Atlantic Ocean and borders the English Channel.
