Ahn (Luxembourgish: ''Ohn'') is a wine-growing village in the municipality of Wormeldange in the district and canton of Grevenmacher in the southwestern side of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. In 2005, the population is 208. The bottom part of the village lies along the Moselle River on National Route 10. On the Moselle River, from the height of 459 feet (140 meters), the community is spread to the west through the valley of the Donwerbach and up to the height of 656 feet (200 meters). Besides the National Route, Ahn is also on the road known as the CR142, which leads to Potaschberg through Flaxweiler from Ahn on the National Route 10. == History == The village of Ahn was also known in the earlier years as Aen or Ayn. The name of Ahn originated, etymologically, from Anam, the Celtic word adapted from ''paludem'', the Latin word for marsh. A marsh in the Donwerbach was already present when the present village was built over it. Various excavating efforts unearthed surprising finds dating from the Roman times, which hinted at a Roman presence in the surroundings. Construction of a house in 1873 unearthed a Roman grave with an urn. In 1875 a millstone at a vineyard between Ahn and Machtum was brought to the light. In 1970 construction on the road between Ahn and Machtum brought from the hillside the remains of a Roman bath to light. Ruins at the Pällemberg are the more recent proof of the Roman patrimony of Machtum and Ahn. In the records, the estate of Ahn was mentioned for the first time in May 1245 as the “''Curia de Ana''” Sophia von Soleuvre, the wife of Ludwig von Macheren, the Provost () of Luxembourg, the villages of Flaxweiler and Ahn. They were also documented as part-time owners of the domininons of Dasburg, Réiser, Hamm and Grevenmacher. After the pestilence of 1545, Ahn, along with several other villages of the Moselle River, was destroyed in 1552 by King Henry II of France and his ally, Margrave Albert of Brandenburg-Kulmbach. In 1596 it was a great flood that devastated Ahn. On 17 October 1626, on this day, the estate of Ahn was where the dominion of Wincheringen received, by the decree of the Provincial Council of Luxembourg, the writ of administrative rights (“''Gewohnheitsrecht''”, ''Wikipedia: Die freie Enzyklopädie''.
