history

Berkoth was first mentioned in the parish chronicle of Ringhuscheid in 1389 , but was probably created around 1100. The name is derived from "Bergroden" or "Birkenroden".

The district Burscheid was first mentioned in the 12th century as a molendium Buorsheit .

Until the end of the 18th century, Burscheid and Berkoth belonged to the Luxembourg rule of Neuerburg . During the French administration (1795-1814) the two localities were administered by the Mairie Weidingen , which belonged to the canton of Neuerburg in the department of forests .

Under the Prussian administration (after 1815) the place belonged first to the mayor's office of Weidingen in the district of Bitburg ( administrative district of Trier ), from 1871 to the mayor's office of Baustert .

After the First World War temporarily occupied by the French , the place has been part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate since 1946 .
