history

The places Tawern and Wawern belonged to the Saarburg office in the Electorate of Trier until the end of the 18th century , Kanzem and Wiltingen belonged to the Luxembourg rule of Wiltingen (Grevenmacher quarter) and Fellerich to the Luxembourg provost Grevenmacher .

After 1792, French revolutionary troops occupied the region and incorporated it into French territory . When the then new French administrative structure was introduced, the previously Luxembourgish localities in 1795 were assigned to the canton Grevenmacher of the Department of Forests, while the Electorate of Trier 1798 were assigned to the Canton of Saarburg in the Department of the Saar . As a result of the so-called Wars of Liberation , the region was initially subordinated to an Austrian-Bavarian administration in 1814 and the three previously Luxembourg locations were provisionally assigned to the Canton of Konz in the Saar department. Unlike the rest of the left bank of the Rhine, this was initially assigned to Austria at the Congress of Vienna (1815) . In the Second Peace of Paris , Austria ceded the territory to the Kingdom of Prussia with effect from July 1, 1816 .

Under the Prussian administration, administrative districts and districts were newly formed in 1816 , the mayor's office Kanzem belonged to the Saarburg district in the Trier administrative district and from 1822 to the Rhine province .

On January 1, 1879, the mayor's offices of Kanzem and Nittel , which had already been administered in personal union from 1824, were dissolved and the communities assigned to the new mayor's office of Tavern .

Today all places administratively belong to the Verbandsgemeinde Konz in the district of Trier-Saarburg in Rhineland-Palatinate .
