Ruwer is a special type of local government area in Germany called a Verbandsgemeinde. Think of it like a group of small towns and villages that work together. It has about 18,171 people living there (as of December 2015). Ruwer is located along the Ruwer River, close to the city of Trier in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

This area is very famous for its delicious wine! The wine comes from the Moselle wine region, which used to be known as Moselle-Saar-Ruwer. Did you know that the Romans started growing grapes here a long, long time ago?

The main office for Ruwer used to be in a place also called Ruwer. But that place became part of the city of Trier. So, since November 2005, the main office has been in the town of Waldrach.
