Ortsgemeinde Dieblich

Even around 1800, viticulture in Dieblich with 274,000 vines (mostly red wine) held outstanding significance. Today, only 5 hectares mainly cultivate Riesling grapes. In exchange, fruit cultivation has developed significantly. Dieblich is a cherry village, and during the blossom season, its magnificent white fruit orchard hills attract many visitors. In the Middle Ages, Dieblich belonged to Kurtrier and was secured by a ring wall with gates. Nothing remains of that, but the "Heesenburg" and the "Zanderburg" (former parish house) have been preserved alongside a number of old half-timbered houses. The old school (1829) from the previous century, built by the famous architect J. Cl. von Lassaulx (now the municipal administration), and the Catholic parish church of St. Johannes (1844 - 48) by his colleague Friedrich Nebel, are also noteworthy. A few kilometers downstream from Dieblich, the A 61 motorway crosses the Mosel on an impressive viaduct that is 135 meters high. Since prehistoric times, when the first traders passed through our land, traversing the Mosel valley with its steep slopes has always been arduous. On the A 61, drivers hardly notice that they are transitioning from the Hunsrück to the Eifel.
