history
The current district area belonged to the Electorate of Trier and the Duchy of Luxembourg until 1794 . From 1798 to 1814 the region was under French administration and was assigned to the Saardepartement , from 1801 it was French national territory . After the Congress of Vienna (1815) the area came to Prussia . They formed in 1816 in Trier , the two circles Trier and Saarburg , excluding the city of Trier, in the province of Lower Rhine (from 1822 Rhine Province ).
After the Second World War , both districts had been part of the French occupation zone since July 1945 . On July 18, 1946, the French military government assigned the entire Saarburg district with a total of 70 communities and 11 communities from the Trier district to the Saar area , which had no longer been under the Allied Control Council since February 1946 . On June 6, 1947, this territorial outsourcing was partially withdrawn, the district of Saarburg thus came to the newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate , to which the district of Trier had belonged since 1946. (See also: List of municipalities affected by the connection to Saarland in 1946 )
The district of Trier-Saarburg emerged as part of the district reform in Rhineland-Palatinate on June 7, 1969 from the merger of the district of Saarburg with most of the district of Trier, from which the local communities Ehrang-Pfalzel , Eitelsbach , Filsch , Irsch , Kernscheid , Ruwer , Tarforst and Zewen-Oberkirch were incorporated into the city of Trier, the local parishes of Minden and Menningen moved to the district of Bitburg and the local community of Börfink-Muhl moved to the district of Birkenfeld .
In the second phase of the district reform, the Trier-Saarburg district handed over the local communities Breit , Büdlich , Heidenburg and Trittenheim to the Bernkastel-Wittlich district and the local communities Eisenach , Gilzem and Orenhofen to the Bitburg-Prüm district on November 7, 1970 . On January 1, 2012, the local community of Trittenheim moved from the district of Bernkastel-Wittlich back to the district of Trier-Saarburg.
The district has been part of the Trier Region Initiative (IRT) since 1994 , in which regional public institutions, administrations, universities, companies, banks and committed individuals aim to make the region an economically attractive, culturally significant and ecologically intact area with a high life - and to secure recreational value, work together as partners.
