Location The municipality lies surrounded by vineyards, meadows and forests in the natural and cultivated landscape of the
Moselle valley in the Trier region. Maring-Noviand is found in an old river valley now no longer followed by the Moselle, but which formed at a time when the river had not yet settled on the bed over which it flows today (which is 2 km from the village centre). The nearest
middle centres are the double town of
Bernkastel-Kues and the district seat,
Wittlich. The university city of
Trier lies roughly 33 km away
as the crow flies. Maring-Noviand belongs to the
Verbandsgemeinde of Bernkastel-Kues, whose seat is in the
like-named town.
Climate Maring-Noviand lies in a transitional zone between
temperate oceanic climate and
continental climate; compared to other regions in Germany, a very mild climate prevails here. In nearby
Brauneberg on 11 August 1998, a record temperature of 41.2 °C in the shade, the highest ever air temperature recorded in the Federal Republic, was confirmed. High humidity due to ongoing evaporation of water from the
Moselle makes at times for heavy and muggy weather, especially in summer, and also brings many storms along with it. == Politics ==
