History of the Moselle

The Moselle cultural landscape boasts a long tradition. Even the ancient Romans utilized the unique climatic and geological conditions of the river landscape to cultivate wine. The Moselle wine region is the oldest wine-growing region in Germany. Finds documenting the first winegrowing date back to the time of the Celts, who settled in the region around 500 BC. However, it was the Romans who truly developed viticulture on the Moselle. After the Romans, monks further refined winemaking during the Middle Ages. Along the Moselle, you will find numerous early historical artifacts, from the beginnings of human settlement through the Celts and Romans to the High Middle Ages. The Romans, in particular, shaped the cultural landscape of the Moselle. But the Celts also left their mark in many places. Particularly noteworthy are the Igel Column, the Porta Nigra, the Imperial Baths and the Amphitheater in Trier, the Roman tombs in Nehren, and the Martberg Archaeological Park in Pommern. Between the towns of Pommern and Karden, approximately 180 meters above the Moselle River, lies the Martberg. For many centuries in antiquity, this was a religious and political center. Around 100 BC, the Celtic tribe of the Treveri built a large fortified settlement, a so-called oppidum, on the Martberg.
