Wikipedia

Bernkastel-Wittlich is a district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Vulkaneifel, Cochem-Zell, Rhein-Hunsrück, Birkenfeld, Trier-Saarburg and Bitburg-Prüm.

History

The district was established in 1969 by merging the former districts of Bernkastel and Wittlich.

Geography

The district is situated on both banks of the Moselle River, which crosses the territory from southwest to northeast. On either sides the country is rising to the mountain chains of the Eifel in the north and the Hunsrück in the south. A great number of affluents come from the Eifel mountains and join the Moselle River. In the very south of the district there is the Erbeskopf (818 m), the highest peak of the Hunsrück and of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Coat of arms

The coat of arms displays:

The cross symbolising the bishopric of Trier
The crayfish from the arms of Bernkastel-Kues
The keys from the arms of Wittlich
The red and white pattern of the tiny County of Sponheim, which ruled this part of the Moselle valley in medieval times
