geography

Geographical location

Lantershofen, in northern Rhineland-Palatinate between Bonn (25 km) and Koblenz (50 km), is located at the northern end of the Vulkaneifel . The village is located on a hill north of the Ahr valley . It lies at an altitude of 150 to 180  m above sea level. NHN . The district boundary runs in the southeast near the A 573 , then follows the Karweiler Bach and the development boundary of the village of Karweiler in a northerly direction in order to swivel in a westerly direction over the driving, training and testing grounds. The border then runs in a south-westerly direction through the Bölinger Wald and surrounds the Rottstück. Along its southern edge and over the Ahrweiler Berg, the district then extends back to the vicinity of the A 573. The district covers an area of ​​251.2 hectares.

Several streams run through the district of Lantershofen. The Lantershofener Bach and the Töschenbach flowing into it arise on the Rottstück west of the local border. The Lantershofener Bach flows into the Fuchsbach near the Lantershofener Schützenplatz. This flows through the place in an easterly direction. At the level of the Lantershofen scrapyard, the Karweiler Bach flows into the Fuchsbach when coming from the north. Then the Fuchsbach leaves the district in a south-easterly direction. Its course is now partially channeled underground. In the past, the now dry Ronnebach flowed into the Fuchsbach, parallel to today's Karweilerstraße.

climate

The annual average rainfall in Lantershofen is 620 mm and is thus far below the average for the Middle Rhine region . The average air temperature is 8.5 ° C to 9.0 ° C, slightly above the German mean.

history

Ancient and Middle Ages

The first traces of settlement in Lantershofen date from Roman times. The remains of Roman ovens and a water pipe were discovered in the vicinity of the village. In 1898 a richly decorated grave of a Roman officer was uncovered.

Etymologically, the first traditional name of the village as "Lantherishoffe" suggests that the place was founded in the Franconian times. The name can be translated as "Hof des Lanther", whereby Lanther is an old German family name that means "land warrior".

The first documentary mention of Lantershofen dates back to July 1, 1019: With a certificate issued in Cologne , Emperor Heinrich II gave his property "Lantherishoffe", which he had received through inheritance rights from a Giselinus who died without rights, with all fields, meadows, forests and pastures , Vineyards, waters, rivers and servants of the Michelsberg Monastery . The Benedictine monastery Michelsberg was founded in 1015 by Eberhard , Arch Chancellor of the Holy Roman Empire for Italy and first bishop of the Bamberg diocese , founded in 1007 , as an episcopal monastery . Thus the monastery's possessions were directly subordinate to the Bishop of Bamberg. Emperor Heinrich II gave the diocese, which he founded himself in 1007, numerous such gifts.

Pledge of 1179

A list of properties from the Michelsberg Monastery shows that his property in Lantershofen came to a new lord at the beginning of the 12th century as a result of an exchange of territory. It is unclear whether this property encompassed the whole of Lantershofen. In the following years Lantershofen does not seem to have been a single property of a feudal lord , but rather had several lords at the same time. In 1106 a document shows the Counts of Saffenberg as owners of a free estate in Lantershofen, which Adelbert von Saffenberg transferred to the Rolduc Abbey near Herzogenrath , which he founded. On September 7th, 1155, Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa confirmed ownership of Lantershofen to the Hochstift Liège . On April 11, 1179, the emperor certified that the Archbishop of Cologne, Philip I von Heinsberg , pledged an estate in Lantershofen to Count Engelbert I von Berg and his heirs. The Hofgut seems to have had a not inconsiderable importance, as the deposit was comparatively high at 126 marks . In April 1180, again confirmed by an imperial deed, as a result of an exchange of territory, the ownership of the Liege Monastery in Lantershofen again fell to the Archbishop of Cologne. The Archbishop of Cologne then confirmed to the Premonstratensian Abbey of Steinfeld at a synod in 1187 that it had possessions in Lantershofen. The Mariental monastery as well as the lords of Nürburg and Are owned court estates in the village.

Possibly as early as the 13th century, the exact time is disputed, Lantershofen then became an inheritance . After the place had previously been a fiefdom of the Electorate of Cologne at times, this became an imperial direct rule.

In 1290 the line of the Lords of Nürburg and Are died out and their estate in Lantershofen fell to the Counts of Neuenahr , also a line of the widely ramified House of Are-Hochstaden-Nürburg . When in 1358 with Wilhelm III. von Neuenahr the line of the Counts von Neuenahr died out in the male line , there were inheritance disputes between his daughter's husband, Johann III. von Saffenberg and several members from the sidelines of the Counts of Neuenahr. The succession dispute and mutual feuds dragged on for years, attempts at arbitration were unsuccessful. The conflict escalated when the latter settled in Neuenahr Castle and acted as robber barons , especially to the detriment of the city of Ahrweiler . This called Kurköln, the liege lord of Ahrweiler, on the scene. However, the archbishops of Cologne initially hesitated to intervene directly in the conflict, as the County of Neuenahr was a fief of their most powerful competitor in the region, the Duchy of Jülich . This mutual keeping in check between Kurköln and the Duchy of Jülich was also reflected in Lantershofen, where both Kurköln and Jülich followers owned property. Only when the Duchy of Jülich was militarily bound by the First War of the Geldrian Succession did the Archbishop of Cologne, Friedrich III , decide . von Saar to act and had his troops, supported by a contingent from the city of Ahrweiler, capture and razor Castle Neuenahr in 1372. He also had a castle in Lantershofen that was connected to the robber barons of Neuenahr Castle destroyed. This first castle complex in Lantershofen, on which Roman remains of the wall may have served as a base, was probably built in the 11th century “on the shiver”, a parcel whose location can no longer be clearly identified today.

As early as 1376, a new castle complex was built in the immediate vicinity of today's Lantershofen Castle. It is unclear whether it originated from a court estate belonging to Matthias von Densborn, which was mentioned as early as 1321, or whether it was built as the ancestral seat of the Counts of Blankart from the start. By 1480 at the latest, however, the Counts of Blankart can be clearly proven as the owners of the castle.

Another farm at "Zwenbrücken" in Lantershofen can be found in 1416. On May 24th of that year, a certain Metza von Lantershofen, who was related to the Lords of Eineberg, co-residents of the Reichsburg Landskron , and the Lords of Metternich , sold the estate, including 20 acres of land and 2 acres of vineyard, to an Eberhard von Derne and his wife. From the sales deed and other documents that have been received, it is clear that court items were held on this estate, i.e. that it had its own place of jurisdiction. The former location of the Zweibrückhof is likely to be located at the confluence of the Karweiler Bach in the Fuchsbach.

Early modern age

Dating back to 1548, the oldest surviving of a whole series of traditional -looking shrines over, held in Lantershofen Hofgedinge.

The Zweibrückenhof is mentioned for the last time in a document in 1603. It is likely that it was destroyed in the course of the numerous armed conflicts of the 17th century. In 1632 the Thirty Years War reached Lantershofen. Swedish troops took the village and partially destroyed the castle, which was built in 1376. In 1642 French troops plundered Lantershofen and burned parts of the place down. In the course of the Dutch War , Lantershofen was sacked again by Dutch troops in 1673, and the rebuilt castle complex has now been completely destroyed. The third pillage of the place within a few decades took place in the winter of 1689/1690 by French troops in the Palatinate War of Succession . After the Thirty Years' War and a plague epidemic in the region that followed the war, the village population was only 160 in 1666. Another year of plague in 1668 and the pillage during the Dutch War further decimated the village population, so that the number of inhabitants had fallen to 135 in 1676.

It is also known from the 17th century that from 1640 the entire property of Lantershofen Castle was leased to the village population and in 1659, with the consent of Emperor Leopold I, a share in the Lantershofen inheritance from the property of the Lords of Gudenau to the Duke of Jülich passed over.

A wisdom from the year 1700 proves that there were seven lords in the Lantershofen estate who owned a share of the estate in the estate. The Count of Blankart and the Lord of Orsbeck are explicitly mentioned in this term . Wisdoms from the years 1706 and 1708 also show a share of the barons of Clodt, von Dallwig and von Bremt as partners in the Landskron knighthood. A wisdom from 1722 also names the Count of Manderscheid as a shareholder.

The noble family of the Blankarts died out in the male line in 1712 with the death of the childless Johann Otto Friedrich Blankart von Ahrweiler in the battle of Denain . Heiresses were his sisters Maria Anna, married to Baron Johann Heinrich Vlatten zu Drove, and Marie Sophie, married to Baron Ferdinand Ernst von Dalwigk zu Lichtenfels . Maria Ottilia, a third sister who had already died, had married Baron Johann Franz Capellini von Wickenburg called Stechinelli (1677–1752), who was also one of the heirs with his children. Since the living hereditary sisters made a unilateral division of the family property in 1714, Johann Franz Capellini von Wickenburg sued against this in order to protect the rights of his children. The division disputes dragged on until 1790 and a judgment finally confirmed the same rights for the descendants of all three sisters. The "Freiherr von Stickeneil" often mentioned in the old sources as the owner of Lantershofen is likely to have been the Blankart son-in-law Johann Franz Capellini von Wickenburg called Stechinelli . During this period, Mr. Vlatten zu Drove and Mr. Rohe zu Drove and von Dalwigk, descendants of the other two Blankart inherited daughters, are named as other owners. Due to the inheritance disputes, the ownership remained disputed.

The last known wisdom of a court estate in Lantershofen dates back to 1738. The apparently fixed number of seven ownership shares in the Lantershofen estate was now in the hands of only four owners. The Lords of the Landskron Knighthood held two shares, and the Lords of Rohe zu Drove also had two shares that had previously been in the possession of the Counts of Blankart. Two further shares were held by the von Dalwigk men, the last share by the von Bourscheid men, who had taken it over from the von Orsbeck man.

In 1794, during the First Coalition War, troops of revolutionary France occupy the areas on the left bank of the Rhine of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. In 1798 the conquered territories were annexed by France. The French lifted the previous feudal structures, including the Lantershofen inheritance, and incorporated the region into the French administration. From now on Lantershofen belonged to the Mairie Ringen in the Canton de Remagen , which was part of the Arrondissement de Bonn in the Département de Rhin-et-Moselle .

In 1820 the Austrian Counts of Wickenburg reappear as the owners of Lantershofen Castle, descendants of the aforementioned Johann Franz Capellini von Wickenburg called Stechinelli .

20th century

On March 16, 1974, Lantershofen was incorporated into the new association-free municipality "Grafschaft" against its own will. In a hearing, the local council voted unanimously against it and advocated incorporation into the city of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, or alternatively for the association to continue to exist.

church

Lantershofen has always belonged to the parish in Karweiler , one of the oldest parishes in the region, to which Ahrweiler and Bachem also belonged until the 12th century .

The first documented church in Lantershofen was consecrated in 1253 by Bishop Konrad von Ratzeburg, with the consent of Archbishop Konrad von Hochstaden , to the Holy Cross, the Mother of God and other saints. In 1458, the oldest of the bells of the Lantershofen church that are still in existence today was cast and consecrated to St. Ursula . It bears the inscription: “Ursula I call, in goedes eren I loden. MCCCCLVIII ". The Ursula bell is one of the oldest surviving church bells in the region and is still in use. Another bell from 1724 is dedicated to St. Nicholas and St. Ursula and is still rung as before. As a fulfillment of the promise of a Lantershofener who died young, his family donated a tower clock for the Lantershofen chapel in 1752 . This was also incorporated into the successor building of the former chapel and was in use until 1966. It is still there today. As early as 1837, the Lantershofen chapel was in dire need of repair, but the chapel was only demolished several decades later. It is unclear whether this chapel was built in 1253 or a successor.

A new chapel was built in the same place and consecrated in 1882. In 1942, the two bells of the Lantershofen chapel were confiscated as resources essential to the war effort in order to melt them down. However, due to massive protests by the village population, the older Ursula bell was returned after a few weeks due to its historical value. The second of the two bells was initially considered lost, but was rediscovered in Hamburg in 1948 at a collection point for church bells and returned. In 1955 a third bell was taken over from the parish church in Karweiler. The Marienglocke was the only one of the Karweiler bells that had survived the two world wars, but was no longer usable when it was rung. After new bells had been purchased for the parish church in Karweiler in the previous year, the intention was to deliver the Marienglocke to the Mabilon bell foundry , but this was prevented by the takeover of the bell to Lantershofen. The Marienglocke dates from 1511 and bears the inscription: "I ask for Sancta Maria, I invited me to Dyenst Gotz, Gorius von Trier gois me anne D. 1511." To make room.

In 1967, today's Catholic Lantershofen Church was consecrated and placed under the patronage of St. Lambert of Liège . Based on a design by the architect Josef Westermeier and based on the house chapel of the White Sisters in Trier , it has a pentagonal shape and a column-free interior. A confessional and Mary chapel with a baroque statue of the Virgin Mary was integrated as a side wing of the church, in front of the sacristy in an extension . This statue was already present in the two previous buildings of today's church. It was not until the following year, 1968, that the free-standing twenty meter high church tower was built. In 1982, a crucifix that had also been taken over from the previous buildings was restored in today's church . It turned out that it was not, as initially assumed, a work from the 18th century, but a late Romanesque or early Gothic cross from the 13th century that had been painted over several times and was possibly part of the early furnishings of the chapel, consecrated in 1253 .

In 1971 the newly built church received an organ that was donated by an anonymous donor for 60,000 DM. This is now considered "technically exhausted after 45 years of intensive use" and will therefore be replaced by an organ towards the end of 2016 that comes from a church in Selm near Münster that is to be demolished and was acquired by the parish of Karweiler for the Lantershofen church. The organ has 19  stops and is currently being overhauled by the Siegfried Merten organ builder in Remagen and then installed in Lantershofen.

St. Lambert Study House

The St. Lambert Study House, located at Lantershofen Castle , is an interdiocesan training and study facility for late-calling priest candidates from the German dioceses and religious orders . It is the largest seminary in the German-speaking area.

Economy and Infrastructure

Lantershofen's economy was shaped by several distilleries , two of which are still producing today (2015 [out of date] ).

The Eifel distillery PJSchütz was founded in 1925 as an agricultural grain distillery by Peter-Josef Hubert Schütz. Grain and juniper brandies and a Boonekamp were made in the distillery until 1929 . A specially manufactured herbal distillation system has made it possible since 1929 to extract herbal extracts and fruit spirits particularly gently. Since then, a special herbal spirit made from 42 herbs, roots and flowers called "Eifelgeist" has been produced. The name "Eifelgeist" has been protected by trademark law since May 3, 1949. Before a steam boiler powered by heating oil was put into operation in 1969 , a high-pressure steam boiler had to be fired with coal. The plant was modernized with a high-speed steam generator in 1989. The distillery is now internationally known for its high-quality liqueurs , such as the nationwide known "Eifelgold", and herbal spirits and has received numerous awards; already three times, in 2010, 2012 and 2013 with the Federal Honor Award and in 2014 as a world-class distillery. Currently (2015 [obsolete] ) the company is run by the grandson of the founder Peter-Josef Schütz.

The Lorenz Krämer distillery is the oldest distillery in the Ahrweiler district. As early as 1851, the “Royal Government, Department of the Interior, Coblenz gave the farmer Johann Joseph Cremer zu Lantershoven” the authorization to set up a distillery in Lantershofen. After his death, this was taken over by his son Lorenz Krämer. The distillery, which was renovated in the 1880s, was withdrawn during the First World War because of its metal value . The distillery was replaced and expanded in the interwar period. During this time, the “Landhofer” brandy , which is still the best-known product of the distillery today, was registered as a legally protected trademark at the Reich Patent Office. Today the distillery run by the founder's great-grandson, Otto Krämer, offers a wide range of fruit brandies in addition to the “Landhofer”.

In addition, there were three other distilleries in the village that were owned by the Bender, Dünker and Fuchs families, but have now ceased production.

The Lantershofener Mühle was founded in 1908 by Heinrich Dünker and his son Johann Dünker. The small business, which initially worked with a gasoline-powered grinding stone , upgraded in 1923 with a 15-hp diesel engine . The building was also continuously expanded until the beginning of the 1950s. In 1951 a significantly enlarged new building was realized next to the existing mill. The mill primarily supplied bakeries within a radius of about 30 kilometers with rye and wheat flour. Due to the disappearance of the smaller local bakeries in the region, the mill had to reorient itself economically and is now concentrating primarily on supplying special customers from across the region. The company is run by the third generation of owners.

The oldest parts of the Lantershofener Winzerverein building were built in 1898 by the Lantershofener Winzergenossenschaft founded the year before . Within a year, a ballroom, a wine cellar and a smaller outbuilding were built, in which both the wine production area and a small wine tavern were located. Although the members of the cooperative made considerable contributions of their own, the costs for the construction work alone amounted to more than 21,000 Reichsmarks . After their completion, the ballroom and the wine tavern were used as central event locations in the village. From 1907 the council meetings of the then still independent community of Lantershofen were held there. In 1935 the figure of Saint Lambertus was inaugurated, which is still located on the front of the building on the winegrowers' street. The building survived the Second World War without any significant damage. In 1947 major structural extensions were made to the winegrowers' association building. In addition, two new fermentation vats with a capacity of 15,000 liters each were purchased, which more than doubled the total volume of the fermentation tanks available, now a total of 51,000 liters. A three-dimensional representation of Saint Lambertus was carved into the front of a wine barrel acquired on the occasion of the 50th anniversary celebration by the well-known Ahrweiler artist and member of the ARE artist guild Hanns Mattschulla . In the post-war years, the ballroom was also used by the local sports clubs as a replacement for a non-existent sports hall in Lantershofen. In 1972 further structural extensions took place. Due to new demands on quality and technology in wine production as well as the development of the sales markets, the smaller, local wine cooperatives on the Ahr had to stop wine production in the course of the 1970s and merge into large cooperatives. To prevent a new large cooperative from selling the building, the members of the Lantershofener Winzergenossenschaft decided against joining this cooperative by contributing the association's assets, which meant that the building was retained for the local community. In 1994 the cellar of the winegrowers' association building was expanded and made usable for parties and events. This was followed in 1996 by a thorough renovation of the ballroom and in 2002 a fundamental renovation of the wine bar and its expansion into a modern restaurant, including rooms that have only been used as storage rooms since the end of wine production. In 2012, first the ballroom, and in 2014 after the cessation of the restaurant operations in the winegrowers association, the rest of the building was transferred to the sponsorship of the municipality of Grafschaft.

The Lantershofen sports field is also known as the “Rote Erde Stadium”. It was originally laid out in 1963 on leased land on the Ahrweiler Berg. The lease was carried out by the DJK Lantershofen and the municipality of Lantershofen. The playing area was expanded and new goals , fences and ball-catching grids were installed in 1969 and 1970, as the previous space no longer met the requirements. Another expansion of the square with a total cost of DM 320,000, financed by VfB Lantershofen, the municipality of Grafschaft and the Sportbund Rheinland and the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, went hand in hand with the purchase of the property by the municipality. A floodlight system was purchased in 1992. In 1996 the adjoining clubhouse fell victim to arsonists for the third time and was completely destroyed, whereupon it was replaced by a container building, which remained in use until the new clubhouse was built in 2014. In 2005, the ash area ceiling was last renewed and a new ball catch fence was built. Games up to and including the district league are currently being played on the pitch .

The local multi-purpose hall is at the end of Graf-Blankard-Straße and is sponsored by the municipality of Grafschaft. The lower floor is used by the Grafschaft volunteer fire brigade - Lantershofen fire fighting group as a fire station . Above that there are rehearsal and event rooms for various local clubs as well as a sports hall. The main building was inaugurated in 1977 and in 2009 another vehicle hall for the fire brigade was added.

More Attractions

The wooden blank art cross at the Lantershofen multi-purpose hall was originally built in 1855. In 1982 it was completely renovated. Instead of a corpus, it contains a series of symbolic representations that are related to the story of Jesus' passion . For example the crown of thorns, the dice with which the soldiers played for Jesus' clothes or the nails with which he was nailed to the cross.

The wooden homecoming cross is located at the highest point of the Ahrweiler mountain and was erected in 1956 by the war returnees from Lantershofen in memory of their fallen comrades. An artfully carved sculpture of the Corpus Christi is attached to it. At the foot of the cross is the inscription: "Erected in gratitude by the war returnees from Lantershofen, commemorating their fallen comrades in 1956 in faithfulness".

In and around Lantershofen there are a number of historical stone crosses from the 18th century. The oldest of these crosses that can be safely dated is located on the so-called Galgenweg on the Lantershofener railway embankment and dates from 1724. Another cross on the railway embankment tunnel, on the eastern edge of the Wingert desert parcel, dates from 1736 and bears the name "Maria Cohners". A third floor cross at the upper end of Zweibrückenstrasse from 1727 is inscribed with "This has been given by 2 brothers in honor [...]". The last word of the label is now under the surface of the sidewalk. A fourth floor cross is integrated into a wall below Frumesch-Platz. Inscriptions that are only vaguely recognizable can no longer be deciphered due to severe weathering.

Coat of arms and symbolism

That of the Counts of Blankart can be regarded as the unofficial coat of arms of the village. A white cobbler's hammer adorns the blue shield of the Blankarts. The coat of arms is used by the Lantershofen Citizens' Association as a club emblem and is depicted on the company flag of the local bachelor shooting society.

Since Lantershofen was raised to direct imperial rule within the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation in the 13th century and the maintenance of a noble residence within the local borders meant that it came under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, several noble families acquired land in Lantershofen. The von Blankart family, the imperial counts, had maintained the largest of these aristocratic residences, Lantershofen Castle, since 1378. Among other things, the fact that one of the last members of the house, Kuno von Blankart, had all the local residents' promissory notes destroyed shortly before his death on November 29, 1561, contributed to the high esteem of the Blankarts. His grave is in the St. Laurentius Church in Ahrweiler.

At religious and secular celebrations within the village, it is customary in Lantershofen for the houses to be decorated with red and white flags. At church festivals such as a fair, Corpus Christi or Pentecost, the red side of the flag is turned outwards, whereas the white side is turned out at secular festivals such as the shooting festival.

societies

The bachelor shooting society “St. Lambertus “Lantershofen is the oldest club in the town. Its roots go back to 1492. The Schützenbruderschaft plays a central role in maintaining local customs and traditions . It organizes the St. Lambertus fair in Lantershofen, the Schützenfest and the Maubichfest.

The Lantershofen Citizens' Association can be viewed as a general local representative. It has more than 250 citizens of Lantershofen. In the 1950s she left the royal member of the bachelor rifle club “St. Lambertus “Lantershofen, whose support is still one of their main tasks. Other tasks are property management and local historiography. They also operate the site's homepage. The association organizes the Ursula fair in Lantershofen.

The Lantershofener Choirs (choirs of the MGV “Cäcilia” Lantershofen 1893 eV) are an amalgamation of three individual choirs: the men's choir “Cäcilia” Lantershofen, the women's choir Lantershofen and the project choir “Sing & Swing”. Founded in 1893, the men's choir is the second oldest Lantershofen association that still exists today. At high festivals, the association helps to organize the services.

The music lovers "Panikorchester" Lantershofen e. V. were founded in 1976. The main task of the association is the training of musicians and the musical organization of festivals and concerts inside and outside the village.

The Association for Movement Games Lantershofen (VfB Lantershofen e.V.) was founded on June 5, 1961 as DJK Lantershofen and renamed VfB Lantershofen on January 1, 1972. He is active in various sports. There are departments for football , gymnastics and gymnastics . The organization of the Lantershofen football festival is the responsibility of VfB.

The TTC-Karla e. V., founded on September 1, 1949, the Karweiler-Lantershofen table tennis club is today the local club with the largest number of members and the largest independent table tennis club in the Ahrweiler / Mayen-Cochem region within the Rhineland Sports Association.

The Lantershofener Winzergenossenschaft was founded in 1897. Since the amalgamation of most of the winegrowers 'cooperatives on the lower and middle reaches of the Ahr into one large cooperative and the associated cessation of wine production in the village in the 1970s, the main purpose of the winegrowers' association has been to preserve the building.

In the course of the village renewal program , which has been running since 2005 , the association Zukunft Lantershofen was founded in 2007, which has set itself the task of coordinating village beautification efforts. Zukunft Lantershofen publishes the quarterly local magazine "Der Lantershofener".

Historical clubs

In 1873 veterans of the German-Danish War from 1848 to 1851, the German War from 1866 and the German-French War from 1870/71 from Lantershofen and Karweiler founded a war club . The purpose of the association was to maintain the memory of the victories in the German Wars of Unification and to honor those who fell. The historical flag of the warrior association has been kept by the Lantershofen Citizens' Association since 1995.

Culture and tradition

Regular events

The traditional Lantershofener St. Lambertus fair takes place around the third weekend in September and has been held in its current form since 1927. The fair essentially consists of church services, pageants, parades, dance balls and a festive party.

The Lantershofener Schützenfest traditionally takes place on the Sunday of the second weekend in September. It has been held since 1928. At this festival, the local bachelor shooting society determines their shooting king. In addition, various shooting competitions such as a shooting competition take place between the Lantershofen local clubs.

As in many places in the Rhineland, a maypole is erected in Lantershofen in the run-up to May 1st in the village center on the Frumech ( Fronhof ) . It is a 20 to 30 m high spruce trunk on which a pine tree decorated with a red and white flag and red and white ribbons is attached as the tip. The first evidence of this tradition in Lantershofen comes from the year 1835. On May night there is a May singing at the foot of the maypole, with the drum corps of the bachelor shooting society, the choir and the music lovers playing “panic orchestra”. In addition, a panning is carried out. After the maypole had been erected with the aid of a crane since the late 1970s, the year 2000 returned to lifting the tree in the traditional way, with the help of so-called mickers. This task is taken over by the local bachelor shooting society.

Since 2011, events, appearances and readings by nationally known bands, comedians and personalities have been taking place regularly in the hall of the Lantershofener Winzerverein as part of the “Kleinkunstbühne Lantershofen” event series. Among other things, Jaques Berndorf, Norbert Blüm , De Familich , Kai Kramosta , Bodo Bach , De Räuber , Willibert Pauels , Knacki Deuser , Martin Schneider , Markus Krebs , Klaus Lage or the Zeltinger Band could be seen there.

In December 2010, after three years of planning, the so-called pear cultivar garden was inaugurated as a nature conservation compensation area on Landesstraße 83 between Ringen and Lantershofen . In addition to the preservation of old local pear varieties , this is also intended to serve as a nature trail for primary school children. In the meantime, more than 50 different types of pear have been planted there.

Special traditions

There are a number of site-specific traditions in Lantershofen. The first thing to be mentioned is the specialty of Lantershofener Maubich. Maubich is a yeast dough cake with a pear spread, the production of which has a long tradition in Lantershofen and is particularly typical for the place. To make it, peared and quartered pears are dried in the residual heat of the oven for nine months and then processed with various spices and other ingredients to spread the cake.

Gold weddings within the village are honored with a serenade and congratulations from all local associations. In addition, a tree is planted for each cheering couple on the edge of the connecting road between Lantershofen and Karweiler , the so-called church or wedding path.

Furthermore, it is common in Lantershofen for the bride to throw sweets for the children at weddings after leaving the church.
