history

Before 1794 the villages of Kopp, Niederhersdorf and Wallersheim belonged to the Prüm office in the Electorate of Trier . The towns of Fleringen and Oberhersdorf belonged to the Fleringen rule, which was owned by the St. Irminen Abbey and was under the administration of the Duke of Arenberg .

In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the left bank of the Rhine . Under the French administration , the mentioned localities were assigned to the canton of Prüm from 1798 , which belonged to the arrondissement of Prüm in the Saar department .

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 of Wallersheim corresponded to the previous Mairie Wallersheim. The Bürgermeisterei Wallersheim was the circle Prüm in Trier assigned. It existed until 1896 and merged with the mayor's offices of Olzheim and Rommersheim in the mayor's office of Prüm-Land .

The municipality of Kopp is now administratively part of the Gerolstein association in the Vulkaneifel district , the other localities to the Prüm association in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .
