history

The area around Lieg has been inhabited since the Neolithic Age, as finds of stone axes show. Further finds (barrows) from the Iron Age (750–50 BC) testify to further settlement, probably by the Celtic tribe of the Treveri . About 50 BC Christ conquered the area. Finds from this period also indicate continuous settlement.

A document from 1106 mentions the kidnapping of a young nun by knight Embrico from Mayschoss an der Ahr in order to marry her. The parents then disinherited their daughter, who was only allowed to keep the farm in Lieg. Later, Lieg belonged to the so-called three-man Beltheim court . Since 1366, Kurtrier , Sponheim and Braunshorn- Winneburg have divided rulership. This ended with the occupation of the left bank of the Rhine by French revolutionary troops in 1794 . In 1815 the place was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna . Since 1946 the place has been part of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

coat of arms

Blazon : “Shield quartered. Field 1: in green a silver urn with three golden ears, field 2: in silver a blue lily, field 3: in gold a black wing, field 4: in black a golden goblet. "

Justification for the coat of arms: The urn refers to excavations found in 1910. A double-handled glaze urn from the last third of the first century AD was uncovered in the “Kriegwald” district. The color green and the golden ears of wheat indicate the agriculture still practiced in the village today. The blue lily is the symbol of the Karden Collegiate Foundation ; an early affiliation is proven before the year 1475. The Maria Engelport monastery had a farm and large estates in Lieg from 1275 until the auction in 1813. A wing was added to the coat of arms as a symbol of the Maria Engelport monastery. The chalice is the attribute of St. Goar , he has been documented as patron saint and church patron since 1656.
