history

The place Fischbach was first mentioned in 1332 as "Vixbach", but was probably already in the 9th century. The somewhat larger town of Oberraden, on the other hand, only appears in 1501 as "Overaden" in the documents.

Both places belonged to the duchy of Luxembourg until the end of the 18th century , Fischbach to the rule of Neuerburg , and Oberraden to the county of Vianden .

After 1792 French revolutionary troops occupied the Austrian Netherlands , to which the Duchy of Luxembourg belonged, and annexed it in October 1795 . From 1795 to 1814, both places belonged to the canton of Neuerburg in the department of forests . In 1815, the former Luxembourg area east of the Sauer and Our was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna . Thus the communities Fischbach and Oberraden 1816 came to Bitburg in Trier in the Grand Duchy of the Lower Rhine , which in 1822 Rheinprovinz opened.

In 1910 there were 80 inhabitants in Oberraden and 27 in Fischbach. After the First World War temporarily occupied by the French , the places became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate in 1946 .

The current municipality of Fischbach-Oberraden was created on July 1, 1967 through the formation of the two previously independent municipalities of Fischbach (15 residents) and Oberraden (57 residents). Since 1970 it has belonged to the community of Neuerburg in the Bitburg-Prüm district, today Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm.
