history

Before 1794, all localities in the administrative district of the mayor's office belonged to the provost of Echternach in the Duchy of Luxembourg ( Quartier Echternach ). Ernzen was the main town of a dairy whose administrative area was identical to that of the later mayor's office. In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the Austrian Netherlands , to which the Duchy of Luxembourg belonged, and annexed it in October 1795 . Under French administration , the area belonged to the canton of Echternach, which administratively belonged to the arrondissement of Bitburg in the department of forests .

Due to the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the former Luxembourg area east of the Sauer and Our was 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 mayorry of Ernzen corresponded to the previous Mairie Ernzen. The mayor's office in Ernzen existed until 1856 and merged with the mayor's office of Irrel into the mayor's office of Bollendorf .

All localities are now administratively part of the Südeifel community in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .
