- Bremm
St. Laurentius was built around 1480 as a single-support hall by Middle Rhine stonemason-architects on a tower of the end of the 12th century. It was lovingly extended in 1895 by cathedral master builder R. Wirtz and architect Moritz (Müden) into a typical Moselle two-nave hall with a filigree stone gallery, beautiful keystones and ribbed consoles. The altar is a magnificent Renaissance altar from around 1620 by Johann Gros from the monastery of Stuben. Two side altars from around 1625 can be admired today in the Landesmuseum in Bonn.
The deed of endowment of the Palatine daughter and Queen of Poland Richeza for the abbey church of Brauweiler, burial place of the Ezzones, mentions the place name Brembe (Bremm) in 1051. In a deed of endowment from the Palatine noble family Poppo to the monastery of St. Simeon in Trier from 1097, a "church in Brimba" (Brempt / Bremm) is mentioned for the first time together with churches from the original parish of Eller. It must have been one of the simple country churches from the 10th century, as we still encounter it in the ground plan of the old church of St. Aldegund. The Laurentius patrocinium also points to an Ottonian foundation of the Bremm branch church. Emperor Otto, with the help of Heinrich "Pusillus", Count Palatine of the Rhineland and Moselle, decisively defeated the Hungarians on the Lechfeld near Augsburg on St. Laurence's Day in 955.
