Pommern-Mosel (Germany Rhineland-Palatinate)

Pommern-Mosel is a Moselle River cruise port and small town in Germany's Rhineland-Palatinate state (Cochem-Zell district) with population under 500. The town is located on the river's left bank and approx 2 km (1 mi) upstream from Treis-Karden.

As cruise port, Pommern-Mosel was included for the first time in the 2020 schedule of one of Europe's largest river cruise companies - CroisiEurope.

The settlement (as Ponieries) was established in the mid-10th-century as a gift of Bishop Chrodegang of Metz to the Abbey of Gorze. In 1264, the Pomerania property was purchased by Himmerod Abbey (its biggest landholder). In the following years, the town grew by adding/purchasing a vineyard and several adjacent estates. In 1815, Pommern-Mosel was assigned to Prussia (1525-1947) and since 1946 (after WW2 / 1939-45) is part of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Main tourist attractions in Pommern-Mosel include timber-frame houses (17th-18th-centuries), winemakers' houses and villas (19th-century, early-20th-century), annual festivals - Spillesfest (whine-themed), Uferrock (July), Kirmes (August), Winzer-Hof-Fest (September). Town's current economy is traditionally based on viticulture (winemaking) and production (the Pommerner-branded wines Rosenberg, Sonnenuhr, Goldberg and Zeisel).
