History
The cultural landscape Moselle has a long tradition. Even the ancient Romans took advantage of the special climatic and geological conditions of the river landscape and cultivated their wine. The Moselle wine region is the oldest wine-growing area in Germany. Finds that prove that wine was first cultivated go back to the time of the Celts, who settled in the region around 500 BC. However, it was then the Romans who cultivated wine growing along the Moselle. After the Romans, it was the monks in the Middle Ages who further developed the cultivation of wine. On the Moselle you will find many early testimonies of history from the beginnings of human settlement through the Celts and Romans to the high Middle Ages. Especially the Romans have shaped the cultural landscape on the Moselle. But also the Celts have left their traces in many places. Especially the Igeler Säule, the Porta Nigra, the Kaiserthermen and the amphitheatre in Trier, the Roman graves in Nehren or the archaeology park Martberg in Pomerania are worth mentioning. Between the villages of Pommern and Karden, approx. 180 m high above the Moselle, lies the Martberg. In ancient times, this was a religious and political centre for many centuries. The Celtic tribe of the Treverians built a fortified settlement on the Martberg around 100 BC, a so-called oppidum
