  • Johannes Fröhlinger: „The Return of the Deutschland Tour on Roads I Know – It Could Hardly Be Better”
    Johannes Fröhlinger: „The return of the Deutschland Tour on roads I know – it could hardly be better” Johannes Fröhlinger is one of the most experienced German pros in the peloton. The 32-year-old with Team Sunweb has just ended his 11th year as a pro cyclist and extended his contract through 2019. The native of Gerolstein is a cornerstone of his team as its road captain. With his cycling roots in the Eifel, Fröhlinger feels especially good on the challenging rolling terrain. Trier is your second home: You grew up barely 500 kilometers away from Trier. Your family lives in Trier and you spend a lot of time in the region. Now the Deutschland Tour is coming to Trier in the first year of its new life. Your first reaction? “That was fantastic news. My first thought was immediately: I have to be there. On the same day I told my team of my wish to include that in the season planning. Hopefully it will work out. Race days for us German riders on our native soil have been drastically reduced over the last decade. At the last Deutschland Tour in 2008, I was at the start. Starting again in the race and then riding on familiar roads, that could hardly be better for me personally.” You know the terrain of the Moselle valley as well as the distinctive climbs in the Eifel and Hunsrück like you know the back of your hand. What can your colleagues in the peloton and especially the fans of the Deutschland Tour look forward to? “The region offers an incredible variety of roads.

  • A Day in Luxembourg, LUXEMBOURG
    A Day in Luxembourg, LUXEMBOURG Why you should visit Luxembourg Luxembourg is the epitome of “the charming European city” we all grew up imagining. It’s amazingly cosmopolitan but not overwhelming, except for its extremely complex history. Its gorges traverse the city, making it a spectacular three-dimensional city, with lit-up fortifications along the walls of the gorges -- perfect for the historian and the romantic. And the food is a lovely mix of French, German, Italian and of course Luxembourgish. Three things you might be surprised to learn about Luxembourg and the people 1. Luxembourg is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its old quarters and fortifications. 2. General George Patton is buried here 3. Villeroy & Boch ceramics started in Luxembourg Favorite Walks/areas of town Go to the visitors center in Place Guillaume to sign up for any of the many fantastic—and reasonably priced—group or individual walking, biking or driving (even in your own car) historic tours with an official guide. The tours can include visits to: • Historic city center • The Petrusse gorge next to the city center • The historic Grund, down below the city center • Clausen, near the Grund • Petrusse and Bock Casemates Other very good things to do/see • American Military Cemetery, Hamm: A beautiful cemetery with more than 5,000 soldiers, most of whom fell in the Battle of the Bulge of WWII in 1944-45. The cemetery also has an impressive chapel and is the burial place of General George Patton. www.abmc.gov/cemeteries/cemeteries/lx.php • German Military Cemetery, Sandweiler: A short drive from the Hamm cemetery, this cemetery has a much more somber feel to it, containing more than 10,000 German soldiers who perished in the Battle of the Bulge in 1944-45.

  • Middle and Upper Pleistocene Fluvial Evolution of the Meurthe and Moselle Valleys in the Paris Basin and the Rhenish Massif ⅲ
    Quaternaire, 16, (3), 2005, p. 201-215 MIDDLE AND UPPER PLEISTOCENE FLUVIAL EVOLUTION OF THE MEURTHE AND MOSELLE VALLEYS IN THE PARIS BASIN AND THE RHENISH MASSIF Ⅲ Stéphane CORDIER*, Manfred FRECHEN**, Dominique HARMAND*** and Monique BEINER**** ABSTRACT The terrace systems of the River Meurthe (Me), and the River Moselle (M) downstream from the present Moselle-Meurthe confluence are composed of eight stepped alluvial terraces (Me8-M8 to Me1-M1), situated at less than 90 m above the modern floodplain Me0-M0. Morphological, mineralogical and petrographical studies evidence that the oldest five terraces (Me8-M8 to Me4-M4) were formed by the “Palaeo-Meurthe”, while the Upper Moselle flowed towards the Meuse valley. Downstream from the confluence, the three youngest alluvial terraces (Me3-M3 to Me1-M1) contain crystalline sediments from the Upper Moselle basin; they have been formed since the Upper Moselle capture, dated about 250-270 ka before present. IRSL and radiocarbon datings provide independent absolute age control for these post-capture terraces, which respectively correlate with the end of the Saalian (Me3-M3) and the Weichselian (Me2-M2 and Me1-M1). The constant relative height of the terraces between France, Luxemburg and Germany gives evidences that there was no differenciated tec- tonic movements along the valley since at least the capture. A cyclic evolution scheme for the formation of the terraces is presented. The main gravel sedimentation occurred during cold periods (pleniglacial and late glacial phases), with a minor erosive period at the beginning of late glacial periods. Major incision occurs at the warm-to-cold transition. Key-words: Meurthe and Moselle valleys, alluvial terraces, alluvial sequences, IRSL datings, heavy minerals, Upper and Middle Pleistocene.
