geography

Napoleon Oak

Mauel is located in a valley in the west of the Eifel , only a few kilometers east of the state borders with Luxembourg and Belgium . The place is drained by the Prüm , which runs north of the town center.

The Hubertushof, Staudenhof and Urmauel residential areas also belong to Mauel .

With 37.5%, a comparatively small part of the municipality is used for agriculture, 57.5% are forest (as of 2011).

Neighboring communities are Lambertsberg in the north, Plütscheid in the east, Oberpierscheid in the south and west, Niederpierscheid in the north-west and Waxweiler in the north.

history

The place probably formed in the area of ​​today's primeval wall in the early Middle Ages and has relocated due to the risk of flooding. It was first mentioned in a document in 1345 as "Mauwel".

Before 1794 Mauel belonged to the Krautscheid dairy in the Neuerburg rulership , which was part of the Duchy of Luxembourg . Under French administration (1795 to 1814) he came to the canton of Arzfeld in the Forêts department . Under Prussia , the village first belonged to the Ringhuscheid mayor , and later to the Waxweiler mayor .

On July 1, 1967, the previously independent community of Staudenhof, at that time one of the smallest communities in Germany with six inhabitants, was incorporated.
