    St. Lawrence, to whom the parish church in Ahrweiler is consecrated, is one of the early Christian martyrs from a time when Christianity was still forbidden. He was archdeacon of the Pope and had been asked by the pagan emperor to hand over the treasure to the church. Laurentius asked for three days, but distributed the church property among the poor inhabitants of Rome and after the agreed time came with the poor to the emperor to present them as the treasure of the church. Thereupon he was tortured to death, legend has it that he was alive on a grate - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of St. Lawrence - roasted over coals. He is said to have told his executioner, on the one hand, whether he would not turn him around.

        The Catholic parish church "St. Laurentius ”on the market square is one of the most famous landmarks of Ahrweiler. It is always easy to see when hiking in the vineyards.

        Many cafes, pubs, restaurants and an ice cream parlor on the market square invite you to stop.
