history
The rulership of Bruch, first mentioned in a document in 1374, was at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries in the possession of the Archbishopric Trier , which also held fiefdom over it. Around 1655 the rule of Count von Criechingen passed to Wolfgang Heinrich von Metternich-Bourscheid and in 1690 it came to the Baron von Kesselstadt through an heir daughter . The duchy of Luxembourg had sovereignty .
In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the Austrian Netherlands , to which the Duchy of Luxembourg belonged, and annexed it in October 1795 . Under the French administration , the area was assigned to the canton of Dudeldorf in the department of forests .
Today all localities with the exception of Beilingen and Speicher belong to the district of Bernkastel-Wittlich ; Beilingen and Speicher are now part of the Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm .
