history

Castle seen from the north

The name Burg seems to be based on the existence of a Roman fort . The place is first mentioned in 928, when Duke Giselbert von Lothringen bequeathed Burg to Archbishop Rutger of Trier as a gift. The Archbishopric Trier was sovereign until 1794. Due to the turmoil of the French Revolution, Burg came under French rule and became part of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 after the defeat of Napoleon . Burg has been part of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate since 1946. The community has had the addition of "(Mosel)" to its name since May 1, 1970.

The municipal council in Burg consists of eight council members, who were elected by a majority vote in the local elections on May 26, 2019 , and the honorary local mayor as chairman.
