history

The possibly oldest documentary mention of Auderath comes from the year 1447. This document from the Trier diocese archives says that the auxiliary bishop Gerhardus von Trier, in office from 1432 to 1448, consecrated a chapel in "Udenrait" on August 9, 1447 “And bestowed indulgences .

The excavations of Roman burial mounds, wall remnants and potsherds in the districts “Seitert” and “Hinterschläf” attest that Auderath was settled in prehistoric times. Auderath itself was created in the high medieval clearing period. The second part of the word -rath / -rait indicates this (rath → clearing).

Auderath was under the rule of Kurtrier and the Lords of Ulmen. In 1573 Kurtrier finally obtained sovereignty . Auderath belonged to the electoral office of elms . From 1794 Auderath was under French rule . In 1815 the place was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna . Under Prussia the place belonged to the mayor's office Lutzerath and from 1816 to the district of Cochem. Since 1946 it has been part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate .

coat of arms

Blazon : "In green a curled overturned golden tip , inside a blue crown of leaves , in front a silver two-handled basket with five golden loaves, behind a silver urn ." The district administration in the district of Cochem-Zell approved the coat of arms of the heraldist Alfons Friderichs from Zell ad Mosel on August 5, 1992 : “... The use of the figures crown, bread basket and urn is sensible and especially welcome because it seldom occurs or otherwise . This creates a coat of arms that becomes the unmistakable mark of the community. "

Reasons for the coat of arms: The blue crown indicates Mary as the Queen of the Rosary and patroness of the Auderath parish. The silver basket with the golden loaves speaks to a very old custom: the annual serving of Sebastianus bread in the church. The silver urn in green is reminiscent of archaeological excavations of Roman burial mounds in the years 1936 to 1940 and thus of the settlement in Celtic and Roman times. The green fields in the coat of arms symbolize the development of the place in the medieval clearing time as an estate and the agriculture, which is still strongly represented today .
