Roman past

The community Nidderanven has a Roman past. In addition to the remains of the " gill" other archaeological finds have been made ​​in this area, which prove this.

In 1938, came a group of hikers between the hamlets Senningen and Senningerberg the remains of a lime kiln. Already at that time it was assumed that this lime kiln could date from the Roman period. In 1999 this assumption was confirmed after review by the University of Cologne. Using a piece of wood that was found next to the lime kiln, the researchers were able to specify more precisely, at which time the furnace had been built. Agreement was reached on the period between 65 and 75 AD The Roman origin of the furnace, the fact that it is a lime kiln. Lime was introduced in this region by the Romans as a building material. For buildings, it was used as a binder. Why Nidderanven or the former Andethanna was chosen as the site to burn lime, to this day, especially in view of the fact that there is no limestone in this area is not entirely clear. Is likely, however, that this place was mainly due to its excellent transport links, selected: the Roman road between Reims and Trier ran through Andethanna. In addition, Trier was a good paragraph mark for the degraded lime.
