Excellent hotel and restaurant with delicious food and a very friendly chef. Definitely worth a stop.

The patronage of this church, "Maria (or in another spelling:) Assumption of Mary," refers to one of the many memorial days or feast days in honor of the Mother of God Mary. It goes back to the feast of her bodily assumption into heaven, which the (Catholic) Church celebrates annually on August 15th. In the Orthodox churches, the feast is called "Maria Dormition." In many rural areas, it is customary for the population to collect bundles of herbs (called "Kruggweusch" in the Rhenish dialect) on this day and to bless them in the festival service.

Many Matthias brotherhoods from the Lower Rhine stop here or stay overnight. Information: http://www.auw-an-der-kyll.de/pfarrhaus.html

Check whether it is open, because unfortunately we drove there once in vain (family affair)

Listed building directly below the pilgrimage church. Until 2004 parish office and residence of the parish priest of Auw. After the reorganization of the parishes in the Bitburg deanery, the parishes of Auw, Idenheim and Sülm were merged into one parish in 2005 with a rectory and pastor's apartment in Sülm. Since the vicarage in Auw was no longer needed and also had a large renovation backlog and need for renovation, it was put up for sale. A group of people from Auwer citizens and from neighboring communities acquired the culturally and historically valuable vicarage building and started the renovation and conversion work into an inn with a beautiful beer garden and guest rooms.

The sandstone relief on Preister Straße shows St. Joseph. On his left arm he carries the child embracing the globe, on his right arm the white lily as a sign of his purity. The relief is carved from a piece of red Kyllsandstein rock.

The church was built in 1742. The first parish church in Auw is mentioned in 1330. She was the mother church for the Maximiner possessions of Auw, Hosten and Wellkyll. Preist finally came to the parish of Auw in 1688. A document in the Diocese Archives of Trier says: "On the very old little church (which was demolished in 1738 because of the new building) was the French coat of arms, three lilies and a rose." It is historically verifiable that Auw an der Kyll has been a popular place of pilgrimage for at least 300 years. The Auwer pilgrimage book from 1712 contains the names of pilgrims from almost all places in the southern Eifel, but especially of pilgrims from the well-known wine villages of the Moselle, Saar and Ruwer and from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Personalities such as Elector Karl Josef von Lorraine (1711 - 1715) and bishops from Trier also signed the Auwer pilgrim book with their own hands. The patron saint's festival is the Assumption of Mary, popularly known as "Krautwischtag". Even today, the miraculous image of the Queen of Heaven from Auw is the goal of many prayers. The church is a simple quarry sandstone building, simply plastered, with high, round-arched closed windows. The buttresses just listed are covered in stone with slate.
