"Old Station" Schalkenmehren Passenger service between Daun and Wittlich was discontinued on November 1, 1981. Schalkenmehren. Approaching the Old Station in Schalkenmehren on the former railway line, today's Maare-Mosel cycle path, and seeing the station building, it's hard to believe that it was opened as a fourth-class railway station exactly 100 years ago. But how did it all begin 100 years ago? Surveying for the Daun-Wittlich railway line began as early as 1897. General preparatory work for the single-track line began in 1907. But it would take some time before the Daun-Schalkenmehren-Gillenfeld section opened on December 1, 1909, with the line running over the 28-meter-high Daun viaduct and through the 560-meter-long Schalkenmehren railway tunnel, "Großes Schlitzohr" (Great Sly Fox). The extension from Gillenfeld to Manderscheid to Pantenburg was completed on May 1, 1910, and the extension from Manderscheid-Pantenburg to Wittlich, signifying the completion of the entire line, was completed on July 1, 1910. The completion of the Daun-Wittlich railway line brought rapid development to the village of Schalkenmehren. In the first year of the line's existence (1910), 18,968 tickets were sold in Schalkenmehren, followed by 25,057 in 1913, 27,969 in 1919, and even 30,279 in 1922. In addition, Schalkenmehren station was designed for general cargo traffic and the receipt and dispatch of wagonloads.

From the hills around the Schalkenmehrener Maar you have different views of the village and the almost circular water surface. One view is more beautiful than the other. Sometimes you see the St. Martin Church reflected in the water, or you can see a dry maar or the adjacent maar with fen.

My grandfather had the Manstein Bridge built so that the grain wagons could get through the forest to the mills better and safer! 😉 Claudia Manstein

The fountain, created by the Eifel artist Johann Baptist Lenz, stands on the forecourt of the former municipal administration (from 2018, the doctors' center). The fountain is set into depressions in the forecourt floor, next to it in the form of a tree, which is decorated with words of wisdom, sayings, etc. and which children climb. In front of it is a figure in uniform and spiked helmet, probably a municipal police officer from the Prussian era. The so-called "criers" or "criers" existed in every village until the end of the 1950s. If the administration or the local mayor had something to announce, the municipal servant walked through the village with a bell, stopped at prominent points, rang his bell and read out the official announcement. In some villages, people held "Gemeen" (congregation) and announced the news after Sunday mass on the church square copied from: https://kulturdb.de/einobjekt.php?id=39069
