Where to stay in Olewig
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Olewig sleeps quietly. Guest rooms here are few and mostly small, so the choice comes down to whether an evening beside the Tempel am Herrenbrünnchen is worth the ride back out from Trier's centre after dinner. For many travellers it is.
The district's scale makes everything walkable, and Kürenz and Euren are the other Trier districts to try if Olewig has nothing free.

About Olewig
What are the main landmarks in Olewig?
Three churches and one temple. The Tempel am Herrenbrünnchen is the odd item on that list, a temple site rather than a parish building, and it gives Olewig a monument of a different order from the churches. The rest are churches.
St. Anna stands over the older core, with St. Maternus and St. Clara alongside.
What is the history of Olewig?
Two layers sit here. The Tempel am Herrenbrünnchen records a temple precinct, and the three parish churches that followed mark the centuries in which Olewig became a village and then a district of Trier. The boundary moved, not the place.
Olewig kept its own name through that change, and the churches and the temple ground remain the only fixed points from the older settlement.
Where is Olewig?
Not much ground carries the name Olewig. Just over three square kilometres of Trier fall inside it, a compact district with the Tempel am Herrenbrünnchen inside its bounds.
