Location of Butzweiler in Rhineland-Palatinate |
||
Butzweiler is a district and a local district in the local community Newel in the district of Trier-Saarburg in Rhineland-Palatinate .
geography
Butzweiler is located northeast of Trier on a ridge made of shell sandstone and red sandstone that slopes down to the Kylltal . The ridge is divided by the Butzerbach flowing into the Kyll with its steeply sloping valley formation. The area around the spring basin provided the settlement area.
history
The first written mention of Butzweiler is a deed of donation from Archbishop Ruotger von Trier (915-923), in which the marcha Bodardi villaris was mentioned. The origin of the name goes back to the 4th century. The first documented settlements date from Roman times, when the copper mine and the Roman lime kiln were built. An exact date is not known. In the southern part of the town there was a burial ground that indicates Frankish settlement. The church stands in the area in which the corresponding settlement is suspected. From the 10th century, Butzweiler was owned by the Trier Benedictine Abbey of St. Marien. Archbishop Poppo confirmed the donation by the former Archbishop Ruotger in 1030. The property included the main courtyard with salland, mill and adjacent forests, as well as the church and half of the tithe. Today's townscape developed from three independent core formations Vohl , Kirchen and Mont in the early 19th century. The churches area is dominated by the baroque parish church with the churchyard, the baroque parsonage and the sandstone block school building from 1907. In the district of Vohl , the street viewpoint Ramsteiner Weg with the former synagogue and listed buildings from the 19th century have urban value. After 1850, the closed development in the three town centers was supplemented by loosely lined up buildings, so that the districts grew together.
On March 16, 1974, Butzweiler was incorporated into the Newel community.
Attractions
Cleaning holes
There is a Roman copper mine with an attached quarry between Kordel and Butzweiler. In the mine, malachite and azurite were extracted through nine vertical shafts to a depth of almost 20 m. The horizontal tunnel with a length of 114 m comes from a later use in the 18th and 19th centuries. With the Emilianus tunnel in Wallerfangen , the Pützlöcher is one of the oldest ancient mining facilities in Germany. The stones from the neighboring quarry were u. a. used for the construction of the Porta Nigra .
Waterfalls in the Butzerbachtal
The Butzerbach flows eastwards from the town center with a steep incline to the Kyll, which is 147 m below, with a total of seven waterfalls and further cascades in the sandstone. The Butzerbachtal is accessible via an adventure hiking trail over suspension bridges of up to 30 m in length.
Caves near Butzweiler
The Genoveva cave is the only nationally known cave in the southern Eifel. Geologically, it is not a cave, but an abri (rock roof) and is around 220 million years old. It is 18 m wide and up to 12.5 m deep. The cave served as a dwelling in several epochs: Finds from 1909 and 1931 prove a settlement in the later Paleolithic. In a dump of rubble in front of the cave entrance there were not only prehistoric, but also several Roman and Franconian fragments. A number of smaller huts were housed inside the cave. The built terrace could only be reached with ladders, ropes or climbing sticks. The beam holes and beam supports with the intended regularity are still clearly visible. The name of the cave goes back to a legend about Genoveva , the daughter of a Duke of Brabant and wife of Count Palatine Siegfried. The cave was still called Kutbach cave until the middle of the 19th century. It was not until the success of Robert Schumann's opera Genoveva that several caves were renamed and linked to the legend in Germany. The steps at the entrance to the cave date from 1910.
The 10 m deep Klausen cave is located in the north wall of the Celtic stronghold. The name goes back to hermits (Klausner) who probably inhabited this cave in the 18th century. Several square beam holes are clearly visible, which suggest that the cave was previously divided into two floors. Two grimaces are carved into the sandstone, but their meaning is not known.
Long wall
In the second half of the 4th century, the 72 km long long wall was built. About 1 km east of the town center, a 30 m long section of the long wall was reconstructed in 1994 and is now freely accessible.
Eifelsteig
The 15th stage of the Eifelsteig leads from Kordel through the Butzerbachtal along the waterfalls to the Pützholes and the caves to Trier.
