Auw an der Kyll
Open today
The parish and pilgrimage church "Mariä Himmelfahrt" in Auw an der Kyll near Bitburg is one of the oldest and most beautiful churches in the Southern Eifel region. It has always characterized the image of the small village in the Eifel with its central, high position in the middle of the village in the Kyll valley.
The Gallo-Roman cemetery near the road (between Wasserbillig and Lellig) was discovered in 1970. The finds of the Gallo-Roman grave can be dated to between 75 and 100 AD, and suggest that those buried here belonged to a rich family.
In 1994 the association for a local history museum created a field on Schulstrasse between Ober- and Niedermendig that shows exhibits from the surrounding volcanoes, the volcanic field.
