One name has remained

Juniper - a rare shrub that unfortunately no longer exists here. It needs an exposed location in full sun to thrive. Hardly any other tree species is as drought-resistant as the juniper.

"Dem blannen Theis sain Haischen"

The little house of the "blannen Theis" (blind Theis) was located on the slope of the Wakelterberg. The "blannen Theis" alias Mathias Schou (1747-1824) was a traveling singer who stayed here when he returned to his hometown Grevenmacher. Only a crack in the rock of his former home is visible today. The "blannen Theis" was so well known during his lifetime that he was not forgotten even after his death. Popular saying goes that even after his death he occasionally wandered around with his guide dog.

"The bunker on the Ohner Këpp"

During the Second World War, three men from Wormeldingen found shelter in the forest on a slope: Leo Fischer, André Schumacher and Roger Thill. Since their hiding places were no longer safe with Wormelding families, they fled to the forest opposite the Palmberg on August 20, 1944. They dug a bunker, for which, among other things, they had to bring the necessary wood over a distance of 4 km. The bunker was covered with corrugated iron and camouflaged with soil, moss and pine cones. The front was getting closer and closer and the bunker came into the line of fire of the German and American artillery. On the night of September 17-18, 1944, the three men snuck up to the Americans. This was her salvation, because the next day Wormeldingen was evacuated and many residents were deported to Germany.

The gold treasure in the Moselle

In 1958 a gold treasure was found while working in the Moselle, between ancestors and power. It probably came from a ship that came from Trier and went down here. Over 100 gold coins lay scattered in the sand. The gold treasure was part of the gifts that Emperor Gratianus had given to high-ranking personalities on the occasion of his 10th anniversary in government in 377. They were special pieces of gold minted to commemorate important events.

Ahn and viticulture

-the Moselle village with most families who live directly from viticulture
-the village with the most private winemakers
-The first vineyards of Ahn are said to have stood on the southern slope of the Palmberg
-The most famous wine-growing areas of Ahn are: Palmberg, Göllebur, Vogelsang, Pietert and Hohfels
-the “Palmberger” is valued as one of the best wines, it is of exquisite quality

Salt springs in the Moselle

There are some salt springs in the Moselle. In front of the sewer system of the Moselle, the source below Ahn was temporarily visible when the water was low. At that time, within a radius of one meter, the ground was colored red by iron oxide. Today the source is in the Moselle, but it can be seen from the bank when the water is calm, as small gas bubbles are constantly rising. The water from this salt spring is comparable to that from Mondorf, the salt content is 12 grams per liter.
