Petersberg The tradition of its origin is that a knight named Walther lived as a hermit on the Stromberg, also known as the Petersberg, one of the mountains forming the Siebengebirge.

After the death of Walther however his disciples left the monastery on the Petersberg and built another on the Sulz.
