history
Until the end of the 18th century, the dominion of Rosport was part of the Luxembourg administrative district Quartier Echternach and belonged to the Abbey of St. Irminen zu Trier.
In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the Austrian Netherlands , to which the Duchy of Luxembourg belonged at the time, and annexed it in October 1795 . Under French administration , the area was assigned to the Forests Department .
In 1815, the former Luxembourg area east of the Sauer and Our was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna . With this, the villages Ralingen, Godendorf and Wintersdorf came to the district of Trier in the administrative district of Trier in the province of Grand Duchy of Lower Rhine in 1816 , which became part of the Rhine province in 1822. Ralingen, Godendorf and Wintersdorf came to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg , which was also decided upon and redesigned at the Congress of Vienna .
The Irminenhof, the original administrative building of the rule, was auctioned off as a church property at the time of the French Revolution and acquired by the Loser family. It was inhabited by descendants of this family until the death of Robert Tudor on April 15, 1935.
