history

The name Nohn is said to go back to the Latin ad nonum lapidem - on the ninth milestone. This could relate the location to the Roman road Trier – Cologne , around 20 kilometers to the east , although the exact allocation is not known. The community is first mentioned as the location of a chapel around the year 970, although the relevant deed of donation is considered forged. A secure mention can be found in a document from Archbishop Herbert of Cologne dated May 3, 1019, in which the transfer of a court close to the place Nohne to the Abbey Church of Deutz is documented.

The place belonged to the Adenau district until September 30, 1932 . This was dissolved due to the "Ordinance on the reorganization of districts of August 1, 1932". From October 1, 1932 to November 6, 1970 Nohn belonged to the Ahrweiler district and from November 7, 1970 to December 31, 2006 to the Daun district, which was renamed "Vulkaneifel district" on January 1, 2007.

coat of arms

Blazon : "In the shield, divided by gold over blue, above a growing, black, red-armored double-headed eagle, below a silver, gold-handled sword that is turned diagonally."

Justification of the coat of arms: The double-headed eagle in the coat of arms indicates a relationship between the place and the St. Maximin monastery in Trier . According to a falsified but probably factually correct document from the year 970, the abbey is said to have once owned the “Noyn Chapel”. A relationship to the abbey, which is named as the tithe lord of the place in 1759, can still be proven later. In the lower part of the coat of arms a sword is depicted as an attribute of the Nohner church and local patron St. Martin .
