history

Before 1794, all localities in the administrative district of the mayor's office in Winterscheid belonged to the Principality of Prüm and from the second half of the 18th century to the Electoral Trier district of Prüm and were assigned to the mayor's offices in Bleialf and Winterspelt. A part of Mützenich belonged to the Schönberg dominion or, most recently, to the Schönberg Electoral Trier and was administered from Amelscheid (now part of Sankt Vith in Belgium ). In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the left bank of the Rhine . Under French administration , the above-mentioned localities were assigned to the canton of Schönberg from 1798 , which belonged to the Prüm arrondissement in the Saardepartement .

Due to the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, substantial parts of the Rhineland were assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, new administrative districts and districts were formed in 1816 ; on the left bank of the Rhine, Prussia generally retained the administrative districts of the French Mairies for the time being. The mayor's office in Winterscheid corresponded to the previous Mairie Winterscheid. Under the Prussian administration, the mayor Winterscheid to part circle Prüm in Trier and from 1822 to the Rhine province .

The mayor's offices of Auw , Bleialf and Winterscheid were already administered by the Bleialfer mayor in personal union in the second half of the 19th century, but remained independent administrative districts.
