Prüm Abbey and the Basilica

Highlight • Religious Site

You Prümers are self-confident and proud!
Frankish King Pippin, son of Charles Martel and father of Emperor Charlemagne, grandfather of Louis the Pious and great-grandfather of Emperor Lothair I, founded the rule of the Carolingians in the Frankish Empire (not least with the help of Bishop Burkard of Würzburg).
(By the way, there is a statue of Pippin on the Old Main Bridge in Würzburg.)
King Pippin founded the Prüm Abbey (752), which over time developed into a family monastery of the Carolingians, further supported by Emperor Charlemagne and later by his grandson Emperor Lothar I, who also retired there to die was also buried.
Prüm was at least an essential pillar, if not the “nucleus” of the Frankish Empire under the Carolingians and thus also the nucleus for Europe.

Waxweiler Former Railway Station

Highlight • Historical Site

The former station building of Waxweiler station was bought by a construction company and renovated in July 2018 in accordance with the requirements of the monument. The engine shed, which is also located on the station premises, was sold privately by the local community in 2020; apartments are set up there. In the earlier years when the locomotive shed was decommissioned, it housed a discotheque.

Pronsfeld Open-Air Railway Museum and Café Stullwerk

Highlight • Monument

On October 1, 1886, Ponsfeld received a railway connection with the opening of the section between Prüm and Bleialf. During the Second World War, the station was first destroyed and later rebuilt. But from the 1970s, passenger and later freight traffic on the line was discontinued. Today, a Köf II shunting locomotive produced by Deutz and a flat goods wagon are erected as a memorial at the former level crossing. The Köf II was in service with the DB from 1959 to 1984.
