Ormont
Ormont is an ''Ortsgemeinde'' (a municipality belonging to a ''Verbandsgemeinde'', a kind of collective municipality) situated in the Vulkaneifel district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the ''Verbandsgemeinde'' of Gerolstein, whose seat is in the municipality of Gerolstein. Name It is often supposed that Ormont's name is of French origin (''or'' = “gold”; ''mont'' = “mountain”), but this is not so. In the ''Liber Aureus'', the “Golden Book” of the town of Prüm, is a boundary description for the centres of Olzheim and Ormont. Here, the village is called ''Aurimuncio'', in Mediaeval Latin. Nonetheless, this does have the same literal meaning as the supposed French derivation (''aurum'' = “gold”; ''mons/montem'' = “mountain”). Either way, therefore, the municipality's name means “Gold Mountain”. Geography Location The municipality lies at the foot of the Schneifel in the Vulkaneifel, a part of the Eifel known for its volcanic history ...
