Ürziger Sonnenuhr, Medieval sundial in Ürzig, Germany

The Ürziger Sonnenuhr stands on a steep slate slope along the Moselle River at kilometer 119, near the exit of Ürzig village.

The sundial, constructed before 1893, features Roman numerals and indicates true local time, which runs approximately 32 minutes behind Central European Time.

The sundial structure includes a niche containing a wooden Madonna and Child figure, reflecting the religious traditions of the Moselle wine region.

Visitors can find the sundial directly adjacent to the B53 road when leaving Ürzig, where it remains precisely aligned with the southern direction.

Behind the sundial face, three living quarters were carved into the rock, with remnants of window frames still visible in the uppermost chamber.
