A special train brought invited guests to the train station in Niederwald. Monique Ritz, the last representative of the Ritz dynasty, left the station together with her friend Elsbeth Bodenmann in a horse-drawn carriage in direction of the village square where the dignified commemoration took place.
The celebration
Arriving at the village square, Monique Ritz was clearly overjoyed about the many visitors who had come especially for the grand 150-year celebration. The village square with the «Ritz Well» turned out to be a neat, colourful place of reflection.
