Can someone tell me what the word "Eifel" refers to? I am reading this website.. http://www.pruem-web.de/stadt/ueberblick.asp and I see it everywhere but it is not in my dictionary. Prüm is a place near Belgium and Luxembourg, but does Prüm also describe a building? Also, the word "Konvikt".....? I am corresponding with a person from the ancestral village who thinks the teachers in my family were possibly educated in Prüm at Bischöflisches Konvikt. He mentions "Prüm in the landscape "Eifel" is what I mean".....
