Aach

The local community of Aach includes the village of Hohensonne, parts of Neuhaus, and the "Haus auf dem Wehrborn."


The village was first mentioned in a document in 953 as “Aquacuum,” a name that reflects its location rich in water at the end of a short side valley of the Moselle.

To the west of the village, an important transportation route from Trier to Cologne has run continuously from Roman times to the present day. In addition to Bronze Age and Celtic artifacts, remains of Roman settlements have also been found. The people of Aach made their living primarily from agriculture and the stone industry.
 

Particularly worth seeing is the parish church of St. Hubertus, which was built in 1783 as a single-nave church with it´s four-sided ridge turret topped by a slate pyramid.

A unique feature of Aach is its Jewish history, including its own synagogue. Explore this history with the flyer “In the Footsteps of the Jews in Aach” and learn about the history of the residents of 15 homes.
