A Teutonic settlement first occupied the site, then a Roman colony, after which a Frankish town grew up on the spot and developed rapidly. An episcopal see was founded early in the fourth century, and the bishop became one of the leading German prelates, but the increase in trade along the Rhine was the real source of the town's growing prosperity.
