Religion

Despite the towns modest population it has the oldest Evangelical church (built in 1837) in Trier-Saarburg county which traces its roots to the time of the reformation in the second half of the 16th century. The Evangelical church has one of only two Spanish Organs located in Germany. The town also has a beautiful Catholic church (St. Antonius of Padua) whose recently renovated baroque interior and exterior facade make it an impressive site to behold and well worth a visit (for example to attend weekend services at 19:00 every Saturday).

Schools

The elementary school (grades 1-4) has students from Züsch, Neuhütten, and Muhl who transfer to Hermeskeil (a 10-minute bus ride) starting with the 5th grade. On the school grounds is a full size sports hall that is used by the school children during the day. The sports hall is used regularly by the various local clubs (Karate club, Volleyball club, Gymnastics club, etc.) and is also used for various celebrations throughout the year.

Community Center

The community center (recently renovated former guest house Biehl) offers a modern facility suited to host conferences and medium to large family and group celebrations.
