| | Moselle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Moselle is a département in the northeast of France named after the Moselle River. | | | After the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, almost all of the Moselle département, along with Alsace and portions of the Meurthe and Vosges départements, were annexed to the German Empire by the Treaty of Frankfurt on the ground that the population in those areas spoke German. | | | Instead, Meurthe-et-Moselle was left untouched, and the four-fifth of Moselle that had been annexed by Germany in 1871 were merged with the one-third of Meurthe also annexed in 1871 to create a new département of Moselle. |

| | Weingut Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt - Trier - Mosel - Germany: VINEYARDS |
| | The river serves as a heat reservoir and a long vegetation period (from blossoming in June to harvesting in November up to 150 days), are variables which create uncomparable, great Moselle Rieslings that have a personality of their own. | | | Compared to Moselle and Saar the Ruwer's microclimate is the coolest, thanks to the tiny river and the fact that the vineyard are located relatively high up on the hillside, at 200 meters above sea level. | | | The wines are extremely mineral as a result of the high proportion of shale and are especially good in dry years, as the deep, heavy slaty soil has a high water capacity, thereby producing especially juicy, full-bodied Rieslings. |

| | Moselle Bridgehead |
| | Veterans who remembered the bloody attempts to cross the Rapido noted the similarity between the deadly S-bend in the Italian river and the curving of the Moselle. | | | If the German plan to defend the Moselle was to be circumvented it was imperative to move at once to seize a bridgehead over the river. | | | Starting at midnight he led the regimental column straight across the hills through the forests to a place on the flats opposite a bend in the river where the ford was supposed to be. |

| | Chapter III: The XX Corps Crossing of the Moselle |
| | Any organized resistance in the Metz area, as part of the defense of the Moselle "position" ordered by Hitler, entailed the disposition of German forces on the west bank of the Moselle, since the fortified system at Metz extended west as well as east of the river. | | | Both the Third Army and XX Corps headquarters at this time tended to assume that the German forces at most would fight a delaying action at the line of the Moselle and that the main enemy stand would be made east of the Sarre River behind the works of the West Wall. | | | Between Longuyon and Thionville, disposed at right angles to the Moselle, lay remnants of the 48th Division, which had taken a severe beating in the retreat from the Chartres area during the last part of August and was due to be relieved as soon as fresh troops could be procured. |

| | The heights of the Moselle Plateau, across the river from the 80th Infantry Division, were crowned by remains indicative of the historic military importance of the area. | | | They reasoned that the Moselle presented a more difficult military problem than any river yet encountered, that the enemy strength and dispositions were unknown, and that the armor should not be risked in such a venture but rather conserved to exploit a bridgehead won by the infantry. | | | This first plan for negotiating the Moselle barrier and capturing Nancy turned on a quick thrust across the river north of Nancy. |
