It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Gerolstein, whose seat is in the like-named town. GeographyLocationThe municipality lies in the Vulkaneifel, a part of the Eifel known for its volcanic history, geographical and geological features, and even ongoing activity today, including gases that sometimes well up from the earth. Neighbouring municipalitiesBerlingen’s neighbours are Kirchweiler and Pelm. HistoryIn 1201, Berlingen had its first documentary mention. PoliticsMunicipal councilThe council is made up of 6 council members, who were elected by majority vote at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.[1] Coat of armsThe German blazon reads: In Silber eine eingeschobene rote Spitze, darin über einer erniedrigten silbernen Wellenleiste ein goldener Zinnenturm, vorn ein grüner Mühlstein, belegt mit drei goldenen Ähren, hinten ein grünes Buchenblatt. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent a pile transposed gules surmounted in base by a fess wavy of the field, above which a tower embattled Or, in dexter chief a millstone vert surmounted by three ears of wheat radiating from the hole of the third, and in sinister chief a beechleaf palewise of the fourth. The millstone refers to an old mill that was still intact as late as 1963, and the leaf refers to a 300-year-old beech tree on top of the Alter Voß (hill); It is Berlingen’s landmark. The wavy fess stands for the brook that runs through the village. The municipality’s website, however, does not explain the other charge, the tower, nor does it explain the division of the field.[2] Culture and sightseeingBuildings
Natural monumentsOne point of interest is the 300-year-old Befreiungsbuche, or “Liberation Beech” on the Alter Voss (599 m above sea level). This also offers a wonderful view of the surrounding Vulkaneifel countryside.
