Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Sankt Goarshausen is a town located in the State Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany. The town has 1,585 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2002) and is the site of the township association (Verbandsgemeinde) Loreley . With the villages Ehrental, Wellmich and Heide, the number of inhabitants is over 2,000. The tourist town is above all famous for the Lorelei rock nearby. St. Goarshausen is situated on the eastern shore of the Rhine, in the section known as the Rhine Gorge, directly across the river from Sankt Goar, and lies approximately 30 km south of Koblenz. In 1885, St. Goarshausen had almost 1,456 inhabitants that were members of the evangelical Protestant church. Close to the town in the hillside just above it, lie the ruins of Castle Katz from 1806. The most important economic areas for St. Goarshausen are tourism and wine making. In earlier times was the town an important place along the Rhein for fishing and as an embarcation area. Today, the formerly very busy town is losing its importance and relies more and more on tourism. Especially problematic for St. Goarshausen is the short distance to the larger city Nast tten, that has replaced St. Goarshausen as the regional centre. In tourism, the biggest competitor is the twin city St. Goar on the other shore of the Rhine. St. Goar is only reachable by ferry, as the closest bridge is 30 km away. While there is an established need for a bridge across the Rhine, plans for connecting the towns have not yet been realised. To help tourism, a visitors centre has been established in connection to the Lorelei rock.
