history

Celtic finds suggest a very early settlement. The fact that the Romans also settled in the village is proven by the excavations of a country house they built, a villa rustica , in the years 1892 and 1925 in the area of the current railway station. The first documentary mention took place in 1304 as Balterswilre . After the Thirty Years War , the place fell into desolation and was not settled again until 1697.

As part of the regional and administrative reform in Saarland , the previously independent municipality of Baltersweiler was assigned to the municipality of Namborn on January 1, 1974.
