About this picture
Heilenbach from the east

geography

The municipality is located about 10 km northwest of Bitburg on the ridge between Nimstal and Ehlenzbachtal. In the west and north of the municipality there are extensive forest areas. Of the 7.84 km² municipal area, 43% are used for agriculture, 49% are forest (as of December 31, 2017). Federal motorway 60 runs immediately to the east of the village .

history

Heilenbach was already settled in the Celtic times, as evidenced by a ring wall on the Hardtberg. Numerous finds have also been preserved from the Roman period; so the Heilenbacher Filialkirche was built on the ruins of a large Roman monument made of blue sandstone .

The first documentary mention of the place as "Hellenbuhc" in the Prümer Urbar comes from the year 893. Until the French occupied the area, Heilenbach belonged to the Prüm rulership for about 1000 years as part of the Seffern farm . In 1800 Heilenbach was added to Mairie Seffern , which was incorporated into Seffern mayor's office of the same name in 1816 . The latter dissolved in 1856 in the mayor's office Bickendorf (from 1927 Amt Bickendorf), from which the Verbandsgemeinde Bitburg-Land was formed in 1970 with further offices.
