	Rhine Province - LoveToKnow 1911
		The southern and larger part of the Rhine province, belonging geologically to the Devonian formations of the lower Rhine, is hilly.
		Considerable herds of cattle are reared on the rich pastures of the lower Rhine, but the number of sheep in the province is comparatively small, and is, indeed, not greatly in excess of that of the goats.
		Being a frontier province the Rhineland is strongly garrisoned, and the Rhine is guarded by the three strong fortresses of Cologne with Deutz, Coblenz with Ehrenbreitstein, and Wesel.

	Rhine (Rhenus)
		With a length of 1326 kilometer, the Rhine is one of the longest rivers in Europe.
		After this, the Lower Rhine remained the fixed northern frontier of the Roman empire until the early fifth century, although it was sometimes threatened (e.g., during the Batavian revolt in 69-70).
		Yet, the Rhine frontier itself remained intact and was to last for another century and a half, although the original wooden fortresses and forts on the west bank were gradually replaced by stronger buildings of natural stone.

		Rhine discharge is divided among three distributaries: Waal (6/9 of total discharge), Nederrijn-Lek (2/9) and IJssel (1/9).

		The oldest sediments of the Rhine date from the Miocene when it was a small stream (Figure 6a) draining the Graben of the Lower Rhine Embayment.

	Germania Inferior
		In 39 and 38, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa was governor of Gaul, and fought a war on the east bank of the Rhine on behalf of the Ubians against the Suebians, a Germanic tribe that was notorious for its aggressiveness.

		There were two army groups: the army of the Middle Rhine or Germania Superior (I Germanica, V Alaudae and XIX), and the army of the Lower Rhine or Germania Inferior.

	Landscape, Rhine Valley
		The Upper Rhine plain, a rift valley some 30-40 km/20-25 mi wide, is bounded on the east by the Black Forest, the Kraichgau and the Odenwald, on the west by the Vosges, the Haardt and the uplands of the northern Palatinate.
		Both of these areas lie within the western Mainz basin, which forms the northern termination of the trough-like depression of the Upper Rhine plain and, like it, was the result of a rift in Tertiary times.
		Shortly before the river enters the Lower Rhine plain it passes on the right an outlier of the Westerwald, the distinctively shaped Siebengebirge (Seven Hills), forming a striking landmark at the lower end of the Middle Rhine.

	Po and Rhone by Frederick Engels
		Belgium outflanks all Eastern France from Verdun and the Upper Marne to the Rhine.
		But if we should cede to the French not only the Rhine but also the bridgeheads on the right bank, the French would have fulfilled the duty to themselves that we are fulfilling to ourselves, as Radowitz, Willisen and Hailbronner see it, by holding the Adige and the Mincio with the Peschicra and Mantua bridgeheads.
		Apart from the larger dimensions at the Rhine, which however would only strengthen the French claim, the analogy is as complete as one could desire.

	Large Earthquakes in Northern Europe More Likely Than Once Thought
		Indeed, in comparison to active zones in the Mediterranean, seismic activity is low in northern Europe and the Lower Rhine graben region.
		The map of Rosenhauer and Ahorner [1994] is often used to estimate the seismic hazards of the Lower Rhine Embayment and neighboring regions.
		However, consider that the attributed intensity is 7 for the Ms = 5.3 Roermond earthquake, and according to the intensity-magnitude relationships established for the continental interior [Johnston, 1996], the estimated epicentral intensity might be 9 for the paleoearthquake (Mw = 6.4).

	Notes on Andrew Schwalm
		The Pennsylvania Germans whose ancestors were exiled from their homes in the beautiful valley of the Rhine and Neckar by furious religious and political persecution are yet, after a lapse of many generations, bound by invisible ties to the land which has been consecrated and hallowed by the same blood which courses in their veins.
		The Germans of the Rhine provinces suffered from the French as late as the Franco-German war, and the crimes committed in the Palatinate in consequence of religious intolerance, fanaticism, and political persecution are unparalleled in the history of human savagery.
		The ancestors of the Pennsylvania Germans who came from the upper and lower Rhine regions spoke a dialect that is known as Pfalzisch and the people at the time of the great emigration from there were known as German Palatines.
