history

From 1816 to 1969 the place belonged to the district of Bernkastel in the administrative district of Trier . After the Second World War, this became part of the Rhineland-Palatinate state, which was created in 1946 . During the district reform in 1969, the two districts of Bernkastel and Wittlich merged to form the new district of Bernkastel-Wittlich. The Bernkastel district (so called until 1938) included a total of nine mayor's offices as administrative units. These became offices in 1927. Losnich was part of the Zeltingen office until the offices were dissolved in 1968.

Losuniacum - possession of the lot - could have been a possible basic form of the place name Lösnich according to Franz Cramer and refer to a Celtic origin. In the 2nd to 4th centuries AD there was a larger Roman estate in the Losnich Hinterwald, consisting of eight building units with references to the processing of grapes. Excavation work by the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier on a Franconian burial ground near the Moselle uncovered a Franconian sarcophagus in 1937, where grave sites had already been discovered around 1900. The former Lösnich castle of the local knight family von Lösnich has been documented since 1368. As a former imperial rulership, Lösnich and its castle were elevated to an Electoral Cologne fief after the knights of Lösnich died out in the 14th century and this remained until the end of the feudal period in 1794. The former stately home of the Freiherr von Metternich and Barons are still visible signs of this time Imperial Count von Kesselstatt from 1683 on the former castle grounds and the old cross-vaulted cellar of the former castle from the 14th century.
