History

[edit]

The village of Leiwen is said to have got its name from Livia, the wife of emperor Augustus, who had a summer residence in the village, and she gave her name to the village. There have been several excavations in the village, unearthing buildings and artefacts dating back to Roman times.

Wine

[edit]

The village is situated in the middle of vast grapevines, and is in one of the main wine growing areas of Germany. The village produces wine made from the Riesling grape variety. The village holds a wine festival every year, which is a big draw for tourists.
