The municipality lies in the Hunsrück some 6 km southwest of the Rhine at Boppard, the nearest major town. Emmelshausen lies 3 km to the southeast.

Constituent communities

Ney’s Ortsteile are Dieler, Schönecker Mühle and Hierenmühle in the Ehrbach valley.

History

Ney belonged to the Gallscheider Gericht (“Gallscheid Court”) at Emmelshausen in the Electorate of Trier. Beginning in 1794, Ney lay under French rule. In 1815 it was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna. Since 1946, it has been part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Politics

Municipal council

The council is made up of 8 council members, who were elected by majority vote at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman[2].

Mayor

Ney’s mayor is Edmund Busch[3].

Coat of arms

The German blazon reads: Schild geteilt, oben in Rot ein silberner Balken, unten in Silber zwei blaue Sterne, eine eingeschweifte blaue Spitze, belegt mit einem silbernen Stern (2:1).

The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess gules a fess argent and tierced in mantle of the second and azure three mullets counterchanged.

The red field with the silver fess refers to the former Gallscheider Gericht (“Gallscheid Court”). The lower field shows the heraldic bearing of the Carmelites, who once had many holdings in the municipality[4]. The tinctures azure and argent (blue and silver) symbolize purity[5].
