Easter walk along the Katharinenufer right by the picturesque Moselle river. The name Katharinenufer refers to the Dominican monastery of St. Katharina, which is located nearby. The monastery was moved from the to the banks of the Moselle in 1288, when Ordulph of Ören gave this area to the nuns. The Katharinenufer is called like this since 1883; from 1862, however, it already bore the name Katharinenquai. Historically, the street was also known as Moselquai. ______________________________________________________________ , a classizist-style art nouveau villa built in the years 1909-12, can be seen in the background. ______________________________________________________________
