geography

The place Moselweiß lies on the sliding slope of the Moselle between the river and the western slope of the Karthauser .

The vineyards of the steep slope Moselweißer Hamm begin southwest of the Moselle bridge to Güls . Was hammered earlier exclusively Riesling , in the 21st century but also occasionally Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris . The cultivation of these more demanding crops was introduced in the course of the transverse terracing in 2000, which improved direct sunlight and made the vineyard drivable with machines.

Coin finds from the 3rd and 4th centuries suggest a Roman settlement in the area of ​​today's Kemperhof. Moselweiß was first mentioned in a document in 1070 under the name Wissa (white) in connection with a donation from the noble Kuno in favor of the St. Florin monastery in Koblenz. Since 1136, Wingerte zu Wissa are often the reason for further mentions of the place. Moselweiß formed a common market town together with Neuendorf and Koblenz from an early age , as can be seen from a mention from 1198. The city council of Koblenz decided in 1340 to give the residents of Moselweiss citizenship in Koblenz , which was mentioned in a document in 1469.

The approval of an independent parish ( St. Laurentius ) is mentioned for the first time in 1201 in a document from Provost Bruno of St. Castor . In the Middle Ages , several noble families lived in Moselweiss. A large part of the area was owned by monasteries and foundations .

During the French occupation from 1794 and at times also under Prussian administration, the municipality of Moselweiß belonged to the mayors' association of Koblenz, from which it left in 1857. Together with Neuendorf, Moselweiß was administratively assigned to the mayor's office of St. Sebastian . From 1887 Moselweiß was assigned to the district of Koblenz and finally incorporated into Koblenz on April 1, 1902 .

With the construction of the Moselle line , the Güls railway bridge was built to cross the Moselle in 1878 between Güls and Moselweiß . In 1900 the Koblenz-Mosel depot was built on the railway line between Moselweiß and the gold mine for the locomotives to be serviced , which was often the main target of air raids on Koblenz during World War II . With the decline of the steam locomotive era, the site was closed in 1988. The site was bought in 2007 by the trans regio railway company , which is building new maintenance halls for electric locomotives there.

In the north-east of Moselweiß, the office park of Administrative Center II around Ferdinand-Sauerbruch-Strasse has formed the border to the Rauental and thus the transition to the urban districts of Koblenz since the 1970s .
