Panzersperre (Hôcker line) Siegfried Line in Herzfeld

Until the end of the 18th century, Herzfeld was a hamlet that belonged to the Harspelt dairy and then to the Leidenborn dairy in the Dasburg estate . Around 1800 four households (fireplaces) with 30 inhabitants were counted. The two farms "Locherhof" and "Hof Neuesberg" with a total of 8 residents belonged to Herzfeld.

In connection with the Napoleonic Wars , the region came under French administration in 1794 and from 1798 belonged to the Mairie Leidenborn in the canton of Prüm in the Saar department . Herzfeld became an independent municipality. Ecclesiastically Herzfeld belonged to the parish Großkampen , which belonged to the deanery of Stablo in the diocese of Liège . After the Rhineland came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 on the basis of the treaties of the Congress of Vienna , Herzfeld belonged to the mayor's office of Leidenborn in the newly created district of Prüm in 1816 .
