geography

Enzen is located about 10 km southwest of the district town of Bitburg on the Enz river, which gives the place its name . The state border with Luxembourg runs approx. 10 km west of Enzen. The German-Luxembourg Nature Park extends to the northwest. Largely parallel to the Enz, the state road 4 crosses the Eifelort, which connects it with Irrel and the federal road 50 located 10 km to the north .

55% of the municipality area, which is quite small at 1.71 km², is used for agriculture , with 29% a comparatively small proportion of forest (as of 2017). Neighboring communities are Halsdorf and Stockem in the north, Peffingen in the southeast, Schankweiler in the south and Nusbaum in the west. The next larger town is Mettendorf 4 km northwest of Enzen.

The Stockfelder Hof and Wiesenhof residential areas also belong to Enzen .

history

The first written mention of the place as "Henence" comes from the year 1150, when it was owned by the Counts of Vianden in the Duchy of Luxembourg . From 1816 the community belonged to the Stockem mayor , a year after it fell to Prussia . In 1848 there were 62 inhabitants in seven houses in the small village. The Stockem mayor merged in 1856 with other districts to form the Baustert mayor , based in Oberweis . A slow but steady population decline has been recorded since 1871, from 76 to only 34 inhabitants today (as of December 31, 2019).

coat of arms

Enzen coat of arms
Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms is based on that of the County of Vianden , to which Enzen belonged until the end of the 18th century. The red base tone with the silver bar indicate this. The local and chapel patron John the Baptist is symbolized by the silver lecture cross.

Attractions

In addition to a small chapel (St. Johannes branch church), the natural monument “Wacholdergebiet” in Stockemerberg is also a sight. The historic bridge over the Enz is located at an ancient ford .
