history

The place is first mentioned in the Prümer Urbar in 893 as "Maleberhc". Around 1300 the first Michael's chapel was built on the Michelsberg ( 586.1  m above sea  level ). It soon developed into a place of pilgrimage . After several new buildings, the new pilgrimage chapel was built in 1735 .

Numerous artifacts from the Michelsberg show that people lived in this area as early as the Mesolithic Age (approx. 9600-5500 / 4500 BC). A settlement from the Neolithic Age (5500 / 4500–2000 BC) has been proven for the area "Op de Pöhle" by further artifact finds (blades made of flint and others).
