history

Wall remains of a Roman refuge between Auw and Preist show that the Romans already settled in the region around Auw. The place Auw was first mentioned in a document in the 13th century as Ouve , in 1565 and 1606 as Auwe . The name could come from the Old High German owa , awa , Middle High German owe , awe , then uwe , au = island, land surrounded by water. These words are closely related to the Latin aqua , the Gothic ahva for water. In the 18th century the place appears as Avia vel Auw .

On January 1, 1971, after the districts of Bitburg and Prüm were merged, the additional designation "an der Kyll" was adopted - to distinguish it from the municipality of the same name Auw near Prüm.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of Auw an der Kyll
 Blazon : "Diagonally left divided by silver and blue, above a red winged dragon growing out of the division, below a silver lily ."
Founding of the coat of arms: Historically, Auw was part of the Scharfbillig rule in the Duchy of Luxembourg until the French Revolution . For this reason, silver and blue were chosen as the main colors.

In terms of local history, the later Counts of Kesselstatt owned the place. Your coat of arms, a red dragon in silver, stands as a symbol for the former landlord and has therefore been included in the upper part.

The lily in the lower coat of arms relates to an old legend of the area: three virgins jumped with a donkey from a rock over the Kyll , but only thanks to the Virgin Mary they safely got to the other bank of the river, the place of today's Auw. The lily is the symbol of virginity as well as of Mary. Auw has also been a well-known Marian pilgrimage site for over 300 years .

The listed entrance building on the Eifel route Trier - Cologne was built around 1870. At the same time, an outbuilding was built right next to it, which was used as a toilet and stable. It is - seen from the village - on the other side of the track, between Kyll and the railway line. It could be reached through a level crossing until 1985. From 1995, a narrow path along the Kyll and the railway line connects it with the town's road network.

The station buildings correspond in many parts to the other reception buildings on the Eifelbahn in the Kylltal, such as in Philippsheim or Trier-Ehrang . Only a later, single-storey extension to accommodate the signal box distinguishes it from many of its kind. Common to all train stations in the Kylltal is the facing with red sandstone blocks (the building corners are mostly rusticated) and the dominance of Gothic architectural elements (doors, windows, gables, bay windows, etc.), partly mixed with those of the German Renaissance.

In 1985 the buildings were abandoned by the Deutsche Bundesbahn and slowly crumbled. From 1995 to 1999 the building was gutted, completely renovated and used as a single-family house ever since. The station building. Retrieved February 11, 2020 (private website).
