Aldenhoven

The Ludwig Gall House is one of the oldest houses in Aldenhoven. Parts of the building formerly belonged to the Peter Paul Chapel, which was built around 1430. It was used for church services until the late 18th century. In the following years, what is now the Ludwig Gall House served as a military hospital, lay judges' court and magistrates' court.
The representative façade, typical of government buildings, was added in the early 19th century.

The Latin stone inscription "Re-established as a court of justice by the grace of the King and with the assistance of the citizens" also dates from this period. Until 1892, the Ludwig Gall House was home to the mayor's office of the town of Aldenhoven, after which it was owned by the judicial administration and, until 1961, was the seat of the municipal administration of Aldenhoven.
The Ludwig Gall House has borne its name since 1984.

It is named after the social reformer Ludwig Gall, who was born in Aldenhoven in 1791. He is also considered the saviour of wine growing on the Moselle in the 19th century. In bad wine years, his method of wet sugaring grape must provided for the survival of wine growing.
Today, the building is used by the Aldenhoven community and all-day secondary school. It also offers couples wishing to marry a prestigious venue to seal their union and provides space for a wide variety of events.
