The story of Lösnich
This article deals with the history of the wine village of Lösnich on the Moselle. The general information about the local church is contained in the article Lösnich .
history
First settlement
It can be assumed that there were also Celtic forms of settlement in Lösnich , as represented in the entire Moselle region. The place name Lösnich allows the conclusion that it is a Celtic naming. Losuniacum - possession of the lot - could have been one of the possible basic forms. With Caesar the Romans invaded Gaul and the local Moselle area around 58 BC . In addition to the founding of the Moselle metropolis Trier , places such as Detzem , Neumagen , Bernkastel , Zell , Treis and Koblenz were created . Evidence of Roman settlement forms from the first to fourth centuries AD can also be found in Lösnich and the surrounding area.
The Roman estate in the Lösnicher Hinterwald
During the construction of a water tank in the Lösnich district "Im Hinterwald" in 1927, debris lying around in the forest was used as building material, which was believed to be former settlement remains. The Landesmuseum Trier has put an entire system, which consisted of eight widely dispersed building units in the years 1973 to 1978 to the same place. Particular attention was paid to a cult district with a burial site and a part of the building that could be identified as a former wine press house. It was a Roman country estate and winery that had been forgotten in the Lösnich Hinterwald for over a thousand years.
Hidden in a wall opening was a cup with over 270 Roman coins with embossed images of the sons of Constantine the Great . The nearby Roman Moselle metropolis Trier could be named as the minting location. The coins date from AD 342 to 348 and are almost freshly minted.
How long the settlement in the back forest existed cannot be said with absolute certainty. It stands to reason, however, that the inhabitants fell victim to Germanic mercenary associations who ravaged the local area around 350 AD, robbing and plundering.
The Roman villa in villa hunger
From the small stream in the gorge north of the estate in the back forest, a path led north out of the gorge to another estate of Roman origin. In 1976 in the Villenbungert district above the village of Kindel, a farmer's or winemaker's house was discovered during road construction work as part of land consolidation. The Landesmuseum Trier undertook the excavation work and uncovered an entire complex of considerable proportions. The existence of two foundations was particularly striking. The first foundation, about 17 m deep and 29 m wide, was probably replaced in the 3rd century by a new building 25 m deep and 43 m wide. The discovery of a sandstone sculpture depicting a Celtic wine god was also remarkable. She stands in front of barrels and holds the mallet in her right hand to drive the tires onto the staves. Grapes can be seen in the bulk of the robe, which give an indication of the use of the barrels. A cast of the sculpture is kept in the Lösnich rectory. The original is in the Landesmuseum Trier.
Roman remains in the Lösnich cemetery
In addition to the remains of Roman masonry and some broken pieces, the gravedigger was able to bring a bowl made of terra sigillata to daylight in 1911 . A Roman manor, apparently of larger size, is said to have been located on the site of the present cemetery. About 200 m further to the west, in front of the creek cut, further Roman remains were found. The earth walls between the creek cuttings also seem to have been built on with a settlement. Pastor Simon (1907–1914) is said to have suggested that the shallow bulge of the church moat on the eastern wall of the cemetery could have formed a fish pond, which was often found in Roman villas.
The excavations and finds show that Roman forms of settlement existed in Losnich and the surrounding area from the 1st to 4th centuries AD. The excavations in the Lösnich Hinterwald and Villenbungert particularly indicate that viticulture has been in the vicinity of Lösnich since that time. Where exactly the vineyards were located can only be guessed at. The closest vineyard to the estate in the Lösnicher Hinterwald, Wolfer Sonnenlay, could possibly have belonged to the cultivation area.
The invasion of the Moselle by the Huns around 407 AD and finally the invasion of the Franks around 475 AD brought liberation from Roman rule, but also profound changes, accompanied by heavy losses and destruction.
The Frankish sarcophagus
On May 5, 1937, the Trier State Museum in the Weidenrech district secured a Franconian sarcophagus on the premises of the Herges family at the time . In addition to bone fragments, it also contained parts of a Frankish sword. This grave field on the flat, lower terrace of the Moselle bank, about 100 m from the edge of the river, is so unusual for a Franconian cemetery that the grave site can be referred to as the burial place of the surviving Romanesque population for this reason, Kurt Böhner speculated in one Publication of the Roman-Germanic Commission of the Rheinische Landesmuseen Bonn and Trier on the Franconian antiquities of the Trier region. The sarcophagus is said to have stood at the Lösnich school during the Second World War. According to local residents, four sarcophagi had already been found when the forester's house was built in 1900, but nothing is known about their furnishings.
First documentary mentions
An early documentary mention of Lösnich is related to the legend of St. Kuno in 1066. On Holy Saturday of the same year, Archbishop of Trier Eberhard died. At the suggestion of the Archbishop of Cologne Anno, King Heinrich IV had appointed the Provost Kuno of Cologne, also called Konrad, as the new Archbishop of Trier. The legend reports that Kuno was captured in Bitburg on May 17, 1066 on his journey to Trier at the instigation of Count Theoderich, governor of Trier, and deported to Ürzig, where he is said to have been imprisoned in the dungeon of the Ürzig Urley .
On June 1, 1066, Kuno was allegedly thrown several times from the height of the rock without causing damage to life or limb until the adversaries decided to kill him with the sword. The body of the murdered man is said to have remained under the rocks for forty days, until some residents of the nearby village of Lösnich are said to have secretly taken it away and buried it in front of the walls of their church in Lösnich. According to the legend, Bishop Theoderich von Verdun brought the body of the murdered man to Tholey Abbey in what is now Saarland on July 23, 1066 . According to the legend, this celebrated act of Lösnich citizens in 1066 is the first evidence of the existence of a church in Lösnich .
In a more recent publication on the person and fate of Cuno von Pfullingen, the author Franz-Josef Reichert expressed considerable doubts about the traditional version of the first burial in Lösnich on the Moselle. According to his research into the possible funeral procession of the murdered man to Tholey, the place called "Loncetum" is said to have been Lorscheid near Morscheid in the Hunsrück, 40 km from Ürzig, which was reached in two days' march.

The Knights of Losnich
At the beginning of the 13th century, a local knight dynasty appeared in Lösnich, the Knights of Lösnich. Their ancestral seat was the castle, first documented in 1368, in the former imperial lordship of Lösnich. Heinrich Beyer von Boppard , Lisa von Lösnich's second husband , raised the lordship to an Electoral Cologne fiefdom in 1368 . The village and castle retained this status until the end of the feudal system with the entry of French troops into the Rhineland in 1794.

The parish of St. Vitus
The history of the patronage of the parish of Lösnich with its first church from 1638 and the current church from 1879 can be traced back to the 13th century. In 1252 the patronage, together with that of the neighboring parishes of Zeltingen, Rachtig and Erden, was donated to the Teutonic Order. The origin of the Lösnich St. Vitus patronage apparently lies in the Benedictine Abbey of Mönchengladbach .
Crossroads
Within the district of Lösnich there are some road or field crosses made of red sandstone, as they can be found again and again in the Moselle region. They were donated and set up to thank God for overcoming wars or epidemics, for salvation from a special emergency or to avert weather disasters.
Incorporation into the First French Republic from 1794–1815
Under the barons of Kesselstatt , the last feudal lords in Lösnich, the Lösnicher experienced the effects of the Spanish Wars of Succession (1701–1714) and the French Revolution (1789).
With the occupation of Koblenz by the French in October 1794, the entire area on the left bank of the Rhine fell to France. This meant the end of the electorates of Trier , Cologne and Mainz . The previously existing system of feudal rule was dissolved and a new territorial organization was introduced.
Four Rhenish departments were created in 1798. The Saardepartement with its prefectural seat in Trier was divided into the four arrondissements Trier , Prüm, Saarbrücken and Birkenfeld. The canton of Bernkastel with its Mairien Bernkastel, Lieser, Mülheim and Zeltingen belonged to the Arrondissement of Trier . The Mairie Zeltingen united the villages Wolf, Lösnich, Erden, Ürzig with the Ürziger Mühle, Walholz, Wehlen, Rachtig and the municipality of Zeltingen.
The administration was organized according to the French model. The community order , which was shaped by the feudal system of the lordship of Lösnich, was thus replaced. Represented previously mayor and aldermen the interests of Lösnicher towards their respective landlord of the rule Losnich, they now represented as municipal councils the Lösnicher affairs to the mayor of the Mairie Zeltingen.
In 1797 the abolition of religion began , monasteries and church property were confiscated and auctioned off in order to replenish the strained treasury. The church tithe was repealed and the clergy were deprived of the use of church property. Not until 1801 did Napoleon reconcile with the Church, freedom of religion was guaranteed again and religion was recognized by the state.
The reorganization of the dioceses followed and Trier again became the seat of a bishop . The pastors received state salaries again. The parishes in Zeltingen, Rachtig, Erden and Lösnich became independent again in 1803. The orders and monasteries fared worse. They were finally dissolved in 1802, their property declared a national property and publicly auctioned since 1803. From 1800 French was the official language and the Gregorian calendar was abolished. The Republican calendar took its place . Day one of year one of the republic was September 22nd, 1792. The names of the months were replaced with French names. The weeks were replaced by sections of 10 days, the decades. The tenth day replaced Sunday . Church festivals and holidays were largely abolished and replaced by republican festivals. The management of the civil status registers on birth, marriage and death was taken away from the pastors and transferred to state registry offices.
With the dissolution of the feudal system, the lands, which had been leased for generations, became the property of farmers and winegrowers . The exemption of the Lösnicher from the tax burden on their landlords and from the church tithe was followed by the no less burdensome state tax system. Suddenly the citizens were confronted with a variety of types of tax, such as property tax , patent tax as a kind of trade tax , personal and furniture tax as well as door and window tax . In addition, there were indirect taxes, including the wine, beer, Viez, brandy, tobacco and playing card taxes.
Far-reaching upheavals affected the Lösnicher in civil and criminal law. While wisdom and the high court of the manorial power of Lösnich formed the legal basis in public life, from 1804 the Code civil (Code Napoléon) was the new state legal basis.
The conscriptions had to be felt as a heavy burden by the French rule. The constant recruiting of soldiers for Napoleon's army certainly did not spare the Lösnich population either. Conscript unmarried men between 20 and 40 years were.
The particular harshness in the procedure is shown by the drawing of 1200 recruits for the National Guard in the Saar department, ordered by Napoleon in 1809 . There was an uproar among those required to sign up on the Middle Moselle and also in the area around Bernkastel. It ended with the fact that, by order of Napoleon, the rebels were severely punished and in January 1810 the death penalty was imposed sixteen times . The execution was reported to Paris by the Trier prefect at the end of January .
The Prussian period from 1815 to 1871
After Napoleon's failed Russian campaign in 1813/14, the Prussian and Russian troops crossed the Rhine on January 1, 1814. Again provisional administrations followed until Prussia created the administrative district of Trier after the agreements of the Congress of Vienna in 1816 . The creation of the Trier administrative district by the Prussians around 1816 also marked the birth of the Bernkastel district, which was based on the existing French administrative structures.
From the mayor's office in Zeltingen, the new Amt of Zeltingen was later formed as a further administrative unit. It was not until July 23, 1845, that King Friedrich Wilhelm IV decreed the municipal code for the Rhine Province .
Previously, on the basis of the adopted French municipal constitution, the municipal affairs were regulated by the mayor of the mayor's office, now the individual municipalities of the mayor's office were represented in their affairs by their own municipal councils (aldermen's councils ) or by mayors and community leaders. The number of members of the parish council ranged from 6 to 30 lay judges, depending on the size of the parish. The election of the municipal council was made by the elected parishioners who, according to the Prussian class electoral law , had to have reached the age of 24, among other things.
The Prussian customs laws of 1818 imposed an import tax on non-Prussian wines. This also benefited the Moselle winemakers. When the Zollverein was founded in 1834, however, the tide turned. The customs barriers set up in 1818 fell and Hessian and southern German wines were henceforth serious competition for Moselle winemakers. The so - called forty - eight revolution also brought activists in Bernkastel to the scene. In November 1849, however, the revolutionary events came to an end. At times there were a few thousand men in the city to crush the movement.
The increasingly worsening economic situation of the winegrowers and farmers ultimately led many Lösnichers to only see emigration as the last way out of this dilemma . The destinations were the USA , South America and Algeria . The economic boom and material prosperity of the American people in the “land of unlimited opportunities” promised better social conditions and greater opportunities for advancement. From 1846 to 1882 about 100 Lösnichers left their ancestral home to escape the impending poverty. Often it was whole families who embarked on the arduous six-week or longer-lasting voyage across the Atlantic . In 1852 it was a Lösnich winemaking family with their six children between the ages of two months and seven and a half years with their destination North America.
Not everyone seemed to have found happiness in a foreign country. Occasional return migrations are also reported. In 1849, a Lösnich family with two young children, who were former immigrants from Africa, was sent across the border at the French border. The passport presented was issued with the destination Lösnich. It appears to have been a family who emigrated to Wisconsin in 1847 and found their way back home. In addition to Wisconsin, Chicago and Ohio are other preferred travel destinations for the Lösnich emigrants.
Ordinances and regulations of the royal Prussian government increasingly influenced the everyday life of the Lösnich people, such as the first decrees regarding the opening and closing times of the inns. The ordinance of the district director to the mayor of Zeltingen from January 1815 stated that the mayor's inns had to be closed from ten o'clock in the evening and the inns, if strangers were staying there, from eleven o'clock. This ordinance contained a similar form of police regulation from May 1833. It also set the police hour at ten o'clock in the evening and explicitly stated that no guests except travelers were to be found in the inns. Exceptions required the written approval of the mayor.
Occasional violations of this regulation are inevitable. In June 1844, the police regent from Lösnich recorded that a Lösnich landlord had guests in his tavern after the police hour on the night of April 8th to 9th, 1844 and had served them “spirits”. In December 1831, the royal government issued a further ordinance that obliged all towns with more than 30 households to put up a night watch immediately. The spear and horn should be given to the night watchman by the respective community.
The night watch in Lösnich and in the neighboring communities did not always seem to have been observed with the greatest zeal. During a night patrol in October 1854, no night watch was found in Losnich. Even the headmaster could not solve the riddle of who had to keep the night watch that night, since they would not have reported to him as ordered by him. After much back and forth, a night watch was finally found with the help of the field guard . However, the latter was unable to specify who would continue to keep the night watch. The gendarmes then reported this incident in a complaint to the mayor of Zeltingen, whereupon the Lösnich supervisor stated that in Lösnich this service goes from house to house. He apologized by pointing out that in future he would keep a list of the night watchmen on duty.
Compliance with the police hour caused particular difficulties. Again and again, corresponding ordinances had to ensure compliance with the regulations. In April 1850, the mayor of Lösnich signed the ordinance that in the building community of Zeltingen the police hour was to be announced by whistling and beating and that all guests were required to report the innkeepers who were serving after ten in the evening. On January 5, 1879, at the order of the royal government, the Lösnich police officer was even summoned by the mayor to issue a reprimand, as he had often drank with guests in an inn after police hours. The holding of dance music was also subject to strict regulations. In May 1836, the royal justice of the peace von Bernkastel announced that anyone would be punished who would perform dance music without permission from the police. The mayor and the council of aldermen were required to make and publish a resolution in this regard. After that it was not allowed to play dance music in taverns or private houses until the taxes intended for poor relief had been paid. These taxes amounted to one thaler per day and night. The receipt for the payment into the poor had to be available when the dance music was approved and the permit was issued by the mayor.
In order not to jeopardize the worthy celebration of Sunday, it was decreed in March 1841 that dance events on Saturdays should only be permitted up to the police hour at ten o'clock in the evening. Masked balls look back on a long tradition in Lösnich. A notice from May 1845 expressly forbade the organization of masked balls during Lent. The annual highlight of the events was the dance event on the occasion of the fair . Here, too, the police hour was an obstacle for the guests and above all for the hosts. Especially at a late hour, according to a plea from a landlord in June 1879, the guests would ask for food. He therefore tried to extend the existing dance permit beyond twelve o'clock, as he hoped to improve his earnings considerably.
The former Jewish community
At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, there was a small Jewish community in Lösnich with a synagogue and its own cemetery .
The school system
The school system in Lösnich goes back to the end of the 17th century. The first lists of pupils and descriptions of the learning content made by the Counts of Kesselstatt, the landlords at the time, are available from 1779 and provide information about the educational system at that time. A new school was built in 1839, replacing a previous building from the 17th century. The school closed in 1969.
Losnich-Kinheim train station
From 1905 to 1963, a train station on the Bullay-Trier railway operated by Moselbahn AG was in Lösnich . After the line to Lösnich was closed in 1963, the station was used as a base for freight traffic until 1968, when this was also completely stopped. The station building was demolished around 1975.
The Moselle ferry
From 1899 to 1968, a ferry to cross the Moselle was in operation in Lösnich . The ferry service was discontinued with the construction of the Moselle Bridge in 1968.
Art nouveau winegrower's house
The wine merchant Peter Jacoby (1864–1935), who is based in Lösnich, met the renowned Berlin architect Prof. Bruno Möhring in Traben-Trarbach , the then wine trading metropolis on the Middle Moselle in the early 1900s . The Jacoby family had a beautiful piece of land on the shore in Lösnich with a direct panoramic view of the Moselle. The architect Möhring, who was responsible for many Art Nouveau buildings in Traben-Trarbach and who must have discovered his love for the Moselle landscape here, also provided the plan and design for the Art Nouveau winegrower's house on the Lösnicher Strand 15. Today is the winegrower's house owned by the Werner Franz family (grandchildren of Peter Jacoby).
The water supply
In 1927 a waterworks was built in Lösnich and the water pipeline was laid. The water supply replaced the previously used well systems in the village. For economic reasons and to ensure water quality, the water supply has been provided by the Bernkastel-Kues community since 1995 .
The power supply
With the decision of the municipal council of January 1914 on the purchase of electrical energy, the age of electricity began for Lösnich as well . Approval was given to the so-called “service contract B”. This contract with the district provided that the municipality had to obtain permission from the landowners to erect the masts for the high-voltage lines for the district free of charge. The landowners affected were granted compensation of one mark per year for each mast .
The local network was built in July 1914. A report by the mayor from January 1915 on the state of the Lösnich street lighting , especially the street lamp on the Lösnich ferry, indicates this period.
The rapid commissioning of fully functional electric street lighting was the first step towards utilizing electrical energy in the community. In December 1914, the district administrator determined that almost all Moselle communities were supplied with electricity and called for good street lighting to be provided, not least for security reasons, and that the street lamps also had to be on.
The first year of operation of the local electrical network Lösnich of the light and power stations of Moselkreis AG Bernkastel ended in October 1915. This also ended the deadline for purchasing “free lamps”. The contractually stipulated reporting deadline for a free connection had also expired. The district of Bernkastel only established the connection free of charge if the subscriber committed himself to a minimum subscription period of five years and paid a monthly rent of 20 pfennigs until the connection costs, which must be specifically determined in each case, had to be paid. A directory of electricity-related places owned by the mayor of Zeltingen from 1915 provides information on the population, houses and households at that time:
| 1915 | Losnich | Earth | Great |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residents | 587 | 452 | 697 |
| inhabited houses | 108 | 89 | 139 |
| Households | 123 | 96 | 138 |
Note: Rachtig was not drawing any electricity at this point.
The network changed its operator and owner in 1928. It became the property of Rheinisch-Westfälische Elektrizitätswerke AG . Due to changed delivery conditions, the payment of the mast fee for the property owner of one mark per mast and year was stopped. For certain occupational groups there was an increased risk of coming into contact with the electrical lines during their activities. A list dated December 1930 named for Lösnich carpenters, bricklayers, roofers and house painters.
The fire extinguishing system
The beginnings of the Lösnich fire brigade go back to the Prussian era in 1837. As in the neighboring communities of the mayor's office in Zeltingen, there was a so-called “fire corps” in the village. The fire corps consisted of two trains, the fire fighting and rescue train. The entire Brandcorps consisted of 46 people. When deployed, the firefighters wore an oval sheet metal that was attached to the arm with a leather strap. This bore the name of the community .
The former syringe house of the Lösnich fire brigade was housed in the old Lösnich elementary school from 1839 to 1986 . In 1986 it was replaced by a new building very close by.
The mayor himself was appointed as the highest chief of the Brand Corps of the Mayor's Office in Zeltingen . 'The respective places in turn provided a "boss" or syringe master for the "syringe", who represented the mayor if he was unable to attend. The same corps later appeared as mandatory fire brigades . Another police ordinance concerning the establishment of fire brigades from June 1868 indicates a continuation of these efforts. The mayor himself continued to be the constant chief of the fire brigade .
In addition to various fires, a large fire in Zeltingen in August 1921 caused public uproar in a very unique way. According to a newspaper report, several fire brigades had provided assistance, but particular attention was paid to the fact that excessive consumption of wine during the fire-fighting operation led to undisciplined behavior between the fire brigades. The mayor of Zeltingen contradicted this newspaper report, but admitted that it was difficult in the Moselle region to prevent the consumption of wine in the great heat during the extinguishing work.
According to the new Fire Police Ordinance of 1906, a team and wagon role also had to be set up. In this list, everyone was named who had to make their team available for transport purposes every year in the event of a fire . In 1909, for example, Stephan Ehlen's team was assigned to the community of Lösnich.
Information about the equipment of the compulsory fire brigade in Lösnich can be found in a questionnaire of the fire insurance institute of the Rhine province from June 1932. The questionnaire stated that a compulsory fire brigade had existed in Lösnich for 40 years and that the fire brigade was 115 men strong at that time plus two Fire department electricians . Losnich had been connected to the public power supply since 1914.
The extinguishing devices were housed on the ground floor of the school building. Regarding the question of the water supply, it was pointed out that this was guaranteed by the existence of the water pipe with its two elevated tanks and a total of 23 hydrants in the local area and that a 150 liter water cart was available that could be filled with buckets. The construction of the water pipe and the elevated reservoir had already taken place in 1928.
In 1934 the Lösnich compulsory fire brigade was replaced by a " voluntary fire brigade ". The mayor of Zeltingen announced on February 10, 1934 that the fire brigade of the Zeltingen Office had been founded in Zeltingen. The total strength of the two platoons in Zeltingen, in Rachtig and the platoon in Wolf was given as a total of 175 men. On December 6, 1934, winemaker Otto Ehlen was appointed fire chief in Lösnich. Half-platoon VII Lösnich, so the official name, had the strength of 30 men and one leader.
The Erden-Lösnich volunteer fire brigade was formed in July 2013 from the "Ausrückegemeinschaft" (joint venture) of the two fire departments Erden and Lösnich, which had existed since 2010 . It consists of 35 men and women. The Erden-Lösnich youth fire brigade, founded in 2011, has 15 active members.
The attitude of the community cop
In the village of Lösnich there was also evidence of the tradition of the community bull in the late 19th century . An auction document gives an insight into the then common practice of "putting it into service".
The association system in the 19th and 20th centuries
One of the oldest Lösnich associations, founded around 1888, is the savings and loan association , as it was still called around 1919. In an advertisement in the commemorative publication for the 1958 Music and Home Festival in Losnich, it was already trading as Spar- und Kreditskasse Lösnich eGmbH, referring to its 60th anniversary. After the takeover by Raiffeisenbank Zeltingen in 1977, the branch in Lösnich was closed in mid-2000. The business will be continued by VR-Bank Hunsrück-Mosel eG.
In 1903 the Lönich choir, which until then had mainly devoted itself to church singing , became a men's choir that wanted to open up more to secular songs. In 1907 its own club flag was purchased. When the association was founded, there were 42 active members, at the 25-year foundation festival in 1928 there were only 24. The association continued to perform its "duties as a church choir", which emerged in 1930 from a donor dedication on a church window in the Lösnich cemetery chapel. There it says: "Pray for the founder: Men's Choir (church choir) Lösnich 1930". The association seems to have been no longer active in 1958. In the performances at the music and homeland festival in 1958, only the Lösnich church choir is mentioned without reference to the male choir. Stephan Arns Junior headed the church choir from 1954 to 1968.
Shortly after the First World War , the club home Faithful was founded in 1918, in 1928 its tenth Stiftungsfest celebrated with flags consecration and in 1958 its 40th Founder's. Sociability and camaraderie, the love of home and the beautification of the place were the main goals of the association. In addition, the folk and home songs were maintained by the singing department, athletics and football could be carried out in the sports department. A theater group put on plays during the winter months.
In 1919 and 1920 a farmers' association with 65 members and a club Gemütlichkeit Lösnich with 40 members appeared.
Twelve active members founded the Losnich Music Association in 1928, which quickly grew to 40 members. The first conductor of the band was Peter Caspary. Stephan Arns took over the office from 1936 to 1977. The Second World War brought a collapse in Lösnich club life, especially in the music club. 48 men from Lösnich had not returned from the war. In 1952 the club revived and was incorporated into the Heimatverein. Soon there were 22 active musicians again.
A folk dance group was formed in the 1930s. She made appearances in the surrounding area, including at the traditional Bernkasteler Wine Festival, as evidenced by images from this time. Nothing is known about the continued existence of the group after the Second World War. At the same time, a shooting club should also be founded. With the Second World War, however, the founding of the association was broken.
The Lönich football club, which was founded shortly after the war, was incorporated into the Heimattreu association together with the music association in 1952. Since there was a lack of young talent, the football club merged with the Kinheim gymnastics and sports club to form the Kinheim-Lösnich game association.
In 1958 the band celebrated its 30th anniversary. The general meeting of the Heimattreu association, to which the band had been affiliated since 1952, decided in 1976 to rename the association to Musikverein Heimattreu Lösnich e. V. , who took over the tasks of the Heimattreu association. From 1974 to 1984 the association was the organizer of the wine and music festival celebrated in July, which took place in a different form from 1985 onwards as a wine festival with a wine market.
In 1960 the FC Lösnich-Kindel was founded in the Gasthaus Hettgen (first club bar) (colors white and red). The sports field was a meadow on the Lösnicher Fährkopf below the former rectory, right next to the railroad tracks. The first chairman was Josef Gerhard, who was replaced by Arnold Heil in 1962. The Heil Gasthaus became a new clubhouse. In 1970 the club expanded with a table tennis department, which consisted mainly of players from Erden . It was renamed the Spielvereinigung Lösnich-Kindel-Erden. In 1979 the new sports field in Kindel was inaugurated. The game association Lösnich-Kindel-Erden and the TUS Kinheim-Kindel founded the game community Lösnich-Kinheim. In 1997 a floodlight system was set up and in 2001 a club house was built on the sports field. In 2009/10 another merger took place with FC Traben-Trarbach to form SG Traben-Trarbach / Kinheim / Lösnich.
In 1993 the carnival community formed in 1980 by an initiative of the Lösnicher Schöffenfest in 1979 was dissolved and the carnival club Lesnija Schnäälespesser e. V. founded. The first chairman was Klaus Rieth. In 2004 the association celebrated its eleven years of existence under the chairmanship of Günter Weiskopf. The highlight of the activities is the annual cap meeting in the Lösnich community center.
