Historic centre of Dudeldorf

Dudeldorf

Open today

This former farming town, with its partially preserved city fortifications dating from 1345 and 1750, has retained its medieval charm to this day. Until the French Revolution, the town served as a border town of the Duchy of Luxembourg against the Electorate of Trier and was granted the right to build a wall by King John of Bohemia in 1345. Two city gates—the Obertor from 1453 and the Untertor, built around the same time—an 18th-century castle converted into a palace, and old streets bear witness to its former strategic importance as a fortified town. Other historical sights in Dudeldorf include the former rectory from 1759, the former fire station from 1900 at the entrance to the castle, the Old Brewery—now an inn—with its former parish garden, the market fountain from 1859, and the Johannesbrunnen with its 18th-century statue of St. Nepomuk.

The Bitburger LandGang “Historical Dudeldorf” invites you to explore the area around Dudeldorf as well.

    Near the Kyll Valley lies the imposing and legendary Genoveva Cave. The premium hiking trails Eifelsteig and Römerpfad guide hikers to this spot in the middle of an enchanted forest. Over millions of years, the forces of nature carved the shell-shaped cave out of the massive rock. Since the Stone Age, it has offered people shelter from the elements and wild animals. According to legend, Genoveva, the doomed wife of Count Palatine Siegried, also found a safe hiding place here for many years.
