||
Niederehe with the hamlets and residential areas Eichenhof, Fohnhof, Marienhof and Wag (e) nerhof is a district of the municipality of Üxheim ( Vulkaneifel district ) in Rhineland-Palatinate with around 460 inhabitants.
location
The village is located in the Vulkaneifel near the border with North Rhine-Westphalia . The place is elevated above the valley of the Niedereher Bach, which flows about 1.7 kilometers eastward as the crow flies into the Ahbach , a right tributary of the Ahr . The 570 meter high Hönselberg , which forms the center of the nature reserve of the same name (NSG), rises south of the village and partly beyond the municipal boundary.
Üxheim is a good three kilometers north, Daun 14 kilometers south-southeast and the city of Trier about 60 kilometers south.
history
Settlement of the area has been proven since the time of the Celts and later by the Romans on the basis of various finds and excavations. A first mention of Niederehe as Hiea takes place in an exchange contract of the Prüm abbot Ingramnus from the period between 947 and 971. The monastery was built from 1162 to 1175 and secularized in 1803 .
Until the end of the 18th century, Niederehe belonged to the imperial direct rule of Kerpen , which was owned by the Dukes of Arenberg .
On January 1, 1968, the until then independent communities of Niederehe (with 339 inhabitants at the time), Leudersdorf (527) and Üxheim-Ahütte (508) merged to form the newly formed community of Üxheim. Heyroth (98) joined the group on February 1, 1968 .
