The centres of \u00dcxheim, Ah\u00fctte and Leudersdorf with Flesten form the parish of \u00dcxheim. These centres are known collectively in the local speech as Kijeschbel, a dialectal form of the word Kirchspiel, one of several German words for \u201cparish\u201d. The parish of Niederehe is made up of the centres of Kerpen with Loogh, Heyroth and Niederehe. The historically interesting convent church in Niederehe houses one of the oldest organs made by Balthasar K\u00f6nig.Climate[edit]This region’s climate corresponds with the oceanic low-mountain climate.Average yearly temperatures\u00dcxheim-Ah\u00fctte7.4\u00a0\u00b0CLeudersdorf7.1\u00a0\u00b0CNiederehe6.9\u00a0\u00b0CHeyroth6.5\u00a0\u00b0CAverage yearly precipitation\u00dcxheim-Ah\u00fctte810\u00a0mmLeudersdorf825\u00a0mmNiederehe770\u00a0mmHeyroth820\u00a0mmHistory[edit]In 844, \u00dcxheim had its first documentary mention.The municipality was newly formed on 1 January 1968 from the formerly self-administering municipalities of Leudersdorf, Niederehe and \u00dcxheim-Ah\u00fctte. The municipality of Heyroth was amalgamated on 1 February of the same year. All these centres belonged until the end of feudal times to the Lordship of Kerpen, in the Imperially immediate ownership of the Dukes of Arenberg.[3]Politics[edit]Municipal council[edit]The council is made up of 16 council members, who were elected by proportional representation at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.The municipal election held on 7 June 2009 yielded the following results:[4]\u00a0ReinarzSpohrR\u00e4tzFWGTotal2009652316 seatsMayor[edit]\u00dcxheim’s mayor is Alois Reinarz.[5]Coat of arms[edit]The German blazon reads: Unter silbernem Schildhaupt mit rotem Zickzackbalken, von Rot \u00fcber Silber schr\u00e4glinks geteilt, oben 4 (3:1) goldene Mispelbl\u00fcten mit blauem Butzen, unten ein schwarzer Rost.The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister gules four cinquefoils Or pierced azure, three and one, and argent a gridiron bendwise sinister sable, on a chief of the fourth a fess dancetty of three of the first.The municipality of \u00dcxheim is made up of the former municipalities of Heyroth, Leudersdorf, Niederehe and \u00dcxheim-Ah\u00fctte, all of which belonged in the Middle Ages to the Lordship of Kerpen, which was held by the Dukes of Arenberg. They bore cinquefoils (this device is so-called in English heraldry,[6] but the German blazon describes them as Mispelbl\u00fcten, German for common medlar blossoms) in the same tinctures as seen on the dexter (armsbearer’s right, viewer’s left) side below the chief in these arms. The cinquefoils here number four to stand for the municipality’s four constituent communities. The Lords of Kerpen bore arms that were \u201cargent a fess dancetty gules\u201d (that is, a silver shield with a horizontal zigzag red stripe), and this is recalled in the chief (the band across the top of the escutcheon). The gridiron on the sinister (armsbearer’s left, viewer’s right) side is Saint Lawrence’s attribute.[7]Culture and sightseeing[edit]Buildings[edit]Former parish church’s quire at Brunnenstra\u00dfe 14 \u2013 Late Gothic, 16th century.Catholic Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary (Pfarrkirche Mari\u00e4 Himmelfahrt), Kirchstra\u00dfe 4 \u2013 Classicist aisleless church, 1835-1837.Brunnenstra\u00dfe 2 \u2013 estate complex; house from 1858, stable-barn.Brunnenstra\u00dfe 14 \u2013 former school, Classicist plastered building, possibly from about 1840, built as a sideroom off the former parish church’s Late Gothic quire.Brunnenstra\u00dfe\/corner of Heerstra\u00dfe \u2013 wayside cross, sandstone beam cross from 1743.Dreim\u00fchlen fortified house, southeast of the village on the Ahbach \u2013 wall remnants from the Arenberg forest house, torn down about 1825.Ah\u00fctte[edit]Saint Joseph\u2019s Catholic Church (branch church; Filialkirche St. Joseph), Ahbachstra\u00dfe 18 \u2013 biaxial Baroque aisleless church, 1705.M\u00fchlenweg 4 (monumental zone) \u2013 former Arenberg mill, three-building complex together with millrace; plastered building from 1820, oven porch, quarrystone side building, partly timber-frame.Castle Neublankenheim, north of the village in the Ahbach valley (monumental zone) \u2013 ruins, quarrystone building, early 14th century, four-floor defensive tower.Flesten[edit]Saint Roch\u2019s Catholic Church (branch church; Filialkirche St. Rochus), St.-Rochus-Weg \u2013 biaxial aisleless church, possibly from latter half of 19th century.Heyroth[edit]Saint Anthony’s Catholic Church (branch church; Filialkirche St. Antonius), Vulkanweg 9 \u2013 triaxial aisleless church, from 1745.Antoniusstra\u00dfe 3 \u2013 timber-frame house, partly solid, from 1659; quarrystone commercial buildings; whole complex.Leudersdorf[edit]Saint Catherine’s Catholic Church (branch church; Filialkirche St. Katharina), Kapellenstra\u00dfe 4 \u2013 triaxial aisleless church, from 1734; Baroque Heiligenh\u00e4uschen (a small, shrinelike structure consecrated to a saint or saints).K\u00f6lner Stra\u00dfe 3 \u2013 timber-frame house, partly solid, from 1869, timber framing from 17th\/18th century.Lindenstra\u00dfe 15\/17 \u2013 stately plastered building from 1787.Near Lindenstra\u00dfe 16 \u2013 Baroque Bildstock, 18th century.Rosenweg 1 \u2013 plastered building, 1849.Wayside chapel, southeast of the village on the road to \u00dcxheim \u2013 Gothic Revival from 1861; sandstone cross of memorial to the dead from 1743; Baroque Bildstock, 18th century.Niederehe[edit]Saint Leodegar’s Catholic Church (branch church; Filialkirche St. Leodegar), Kerpener Stra\u00dfe \u2013 former convent church, Late Romanesque aisleless church, last fourth of 12th century; sandstone Baroque shaft cross from 1759; remnants of old grave crosses in the old quarrystone churchyard wall.Auel 1 \u2013 former school, hipped roof, from 1912-1913.Gartenstra\u00dfe 2 \u2013 plastered building, oven porch, apparently from 1868.Im Klosterhof 1-5 (monumental zone) \u2013 former Premonstratensian convent, endowed in 1175, Romanesque convent church, Baroque convent buildings, former west wing (Im Klosterhof 1 and 2): building with mansard roof from 1776; former north wing: divided into houses (Im Klosterhof 3, 4 and 5), ringed by a quarrystone wall.Loogher Stra\u00dfe\/corner of Im Auel \u2013 sandstone Baroque Crucifixion Bildstock from 1721.Stroheicher Stra\u00dfe 1 \u2013 former Quereinhaus (a combination residential and commercial house divided for these two purposes down the middle, perpendicularly to the street) from 1875, expanded into a corner estate in 1903.Wayside cross, west of the village on the road to Kerpen \u2013 slate pedestal cross from 1841.Wayside cross, east of the village on the road to Heyroth, across the road from the entrance to the Eichenhof \u2013 basalt beam cross, possibly from about 1700.Wayside cross, north of the village on the road to \u00dcxheim \u2013 sandstone Baroque shaft cross from 1786.[8]Limekiln[edit]A restored limekiln can be found on the road from Stroheich to Nohn, about halfway between Niederehe and Nohn.Natural monuments[edit]Dreim\u00fchlen waterfall[edit]In the Ahbach valley, 1\u00a0km from Ah\u00fctte and 2.8\u00a0km from Niederehe, is the Dreim\u00fchlen (\u201cThree Mills\u201d) waterfall. Evaporation and consequent mineral deposition in the moss is forming calc-sinter, leading the waterfall to grow by six to eight centimetres each year. The waterfall can be reached over hiking trails, the Mineralquellen-Route and the Kalkeifel-Radweg (cycle path).Further reading[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/uxheim-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"\u00dcxheim – Wikipedia"}}]}]
