Geschichte

Neumagen-Dhron is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is a state-recognized tourism community, and it was the seat of the former Verbandsgemeinde of Neumagen-Dhron. Its situation and amenities make it a lower-order centre.GeographyLocationNeumagen-Dhron lies roughly 15 km south of Wittlich and 20 km northwest of Trier. The municipality is made up of the three centres (Ortsteile) of Neumagen, Dhron and Papiermühle (“Papermill”). The river Dhron is met by the Kleine Dhron (“Little Dhron”) in the outlying centre of Papiermühle, whereafter it empties into the Moselle at Dhron. Over on the other side of the river from Neumagen, the river Zweibach also empties into the Moselle.
