Reimsbach

Reimsbach is a village (German: Ortsteil) in Germany and part of the Gemeinde Beckingen in the district ("Landkreis") of Merzig-Wadern (Saarland).

Next to the 1000-year old wild elm tree, on the outer rim of the village, a small chapel, endowed by Weidtmanns Wendel, is located.

[2] During the end of the second World War, Reimsbach was hit by 45 American bombs[3] as a result of an ammunition depot being near the village, killing nine inhabitants, injuring many more and dealing great damage to buildings, on 8 December 1944; 80 years ago (1944-12-08) at 15:50h local time, evidenced by the church clock stopping.

The climate is described as warm and moderate, but also wet for Continental Europe (Cfb) with an average temperature of 9.7 °C and about 730mm of precipitation.

[8] The catholic church St. Andreas [de] was built from 1898 to 1901 by architect Wilhelm Hector from Sankt Johann (Saarbrücken),[9][10] who planned and constructed over fifty sacral buildings in the region, thus coining Historism and Neoclassicism achitectorial styles in the area now known as Saarland.
