Irmenach
Irmenach is an ''Ortsgemeinde'' – a municipality belonging to a ''Verbandsgemeinde'', a kind of collective municipality – in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Geography Location The municipality lies in the Hunsrück east of Bernkastel-Kues at an elevation of 445 m above sea level. It belongs to the ''Verbandsgemeinde'' of Traben-Trarbach, whose seat is in the like-named town.

A far greater likelihood is that it came from ''Herminiachus'' (“Herminius’s Estate”), in which Herminius was a Celtic nobleman who had Latinized his name. Origin ...
