At a place called Truenfels, near the Oelberg, and not very far from Cologne, there lived at one time in the Middle Ages a knight named Sir Balther. His schloss was known as The Mount, and there dwelt with him here his only daughter, Liba, whose great beauty had won for her a vast entourage of suitors.
These two years saw the production of some of the imperishable works of the master, namely: the First Symphony, the Oratorio Christus am Oelberg, and the Prometheus Ballet Music. It is probable that he had given earnest thought to these works for some years previously, and had had them in hand for two years or more before their appearance.
The highest point in the range is attained in the Lohrberg, which rises 1355 feet above the sea; the next, the Great Tränkeberg, 1330 feet; and the next, Great Oelberg, 1296 feet. The Volcanic Range of the Siebengebirge, seen from the left bank of the Rhine, above Bonn.
The range consists mainly of trachytic rocks namely, trachyte-conglomerate, and solid trachyte, of which H. von Dechen makes two varieties that of the Drachenfels, and that of the Wolkenburg. But associated with these highly-silicated varieties of lava and generally, if not always, of later date are basaltic rocks which cap the hills of Petersberg, Nonnenstrom, Gr. and Ll. Oelberg, Gr.
