history
Altrich was first documented in the year 952, when the Archbishop of Trier Ruotbert a "Wido" at the Lieser and Altrich country verlehnte to derive Wingerten to make. In this document the place was called "Altreie". The neighboring town of Wittlich was first mentioned in documents over a hundred years later, in 1065. In a statement from the Koblenz State Main Archives , reference is made to a possibly even older mention of the place. In the so-called " Echternach Chronicle", which the monk Theodoric wrote down in 1192, Altrich is dated to the year 636 under the name "Alta Regia".
Altrich belonged to the Electorate of Trier until the end of the 18th century and with the places Büscheid, Haardt and Kirchhof formed a separate judicial district within the Wittlich office . According to a wisdom from 1444, the dinghouse of the high court of the Wittlich office was also located in what is now the municipality: "In the arbor in front of the large barn at Kirchhof bei Altrich".
After the Left Bank of the Rhine was taken by French revolutionary troops (1794) and integrated into the First French Republic , Altrich belonged to the canton of Wittlich in the Saardepartement from 1798 to 1814 . At the Congress of Vienna (1815) the region was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . From 1816 on, Altrich belonged to the newly formed Wittlich district in the Trier administrative district , which was part of the Rhine Province from 1822 to 1946 .
The parish church is dedicated to St. Consecrated to Andreas . Andreasstraße owes its name to her.
Since 1946 the place has belonged to the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate .

coat of arms
Blazon : "Shield red and white split, in front a white St. Andrew's cross, behind 2 (2: 1) red balls."
With approval from 1971, Altrich received the right to use its own coat of arms. |
|
Justification of the coat of arms: The St. Andrew's cross in the front half of the shield stands as a symbol for the church patron Saint Andrew shown in the old court seal, handed down in 1764 . The rear half of the shield is reminiscent of a knight family named after Altrich, which can be traced back to the 14th century. The colors red and white indicate that it was part of the Electorate of Trier . |
