geography

In early 1969 the district bordered clockwise in the north, beginning with the district and the independent city of Trier (both in Rhineland-Palatinate) and the district of Merzig-Wadern (in Saarland ). In the west it bordered on Luxembourg .

history

Before 1792, the area of ​​the Saarburg district belonged mainly to the Electorate of Trier , a smaller part to the Duchy of Luxembourg . In the First Coalition War (1792–1797) French revolutionary troops occupied the left bank of the Rhine and after the Peace of Campo Formio (1797) incorporated it into French territory . In 1798 the then new French administrative structure was introduced. Most of the later district was assigned to the canton of Saarburg in the Saar Department . As a result of the so-called Wars of Liberation , the region was temporarily subordinated to the Central Rhine Generalgouvernement in 1814 , and then to an Austrian-Bavarian administration. Unlike the rest of the Left Bank of the Rhine , the canton of Saarburg was initially assigned to Austria at the Congress of Vienna (1815) . In the Second Peace of Paris , Austria ceded the canton to the Kingdom of Prussia with effect from July 1, 1816, along with other areas .

Under the Prussian administration, the Saarburg district in the Trier administrative district was re-established in 1816, which initially belonged to the Grand Duchy of the Lower Rhine province , which in turn became part of the Rhine province in 1822.

In administrative terms, the district was initially divided into twelve mayor's offices (as of 1830):

Borg , Freudenburg , Irsch , Kanzem , Meurich , Nennig , Nittel , Orscholz , Perl , Saarburg , Sinz and Zerf .

As early as the 19th century, the number of mayor's offices was reduced through mergers. Due to the Prussian law regulating various points of the municipal constitutional law of December 27, 1927, all mayor offices in the Rhine Province were renamed " offices ". According to the Prussian Community Lexicon of 1930, the Saarburg district was divided into the following offices:

Freudenburg , Irsch-Beurig , Orscholz , Perl , Saarburg-Land , Sinz-Nennig , Tawern and Zerf .

On July 18, 1946, the French military government reorganized the communities of Filzen , Hamm , Kommlingen , Könen , Konz , Krettnach , Niedermennig , Oberbillig , Oberemmel , Paschel , Pellingen and Wasserliesch from the Trier district into the Saarburg district, which was also assigned to the Saar area . On October 1, 1946, the communities of Büschdorf , Nohn , Tünsdorf and Wehingen-Bethingen moved from the Saarburg district to the Merzig-Wadern district .

When the district of Saarburg was reclassified to Rhineland-Palatinate on June 7, 1947, the communities of Besch , Borg , Eft-Hellendorf , Faha , Keßlingen , Münzingen , Nennig , Oberleuken , Oberperl , Orscholz , Perl , Sehndorf , Sinz , Tettingen-Butzdorf remained , Weiten and Wochern in Saarland and were assigned to the Merzig-Wadern district there.

As part of the Rhineland-Palatinate territorial and administrative reform that began in the mid-1960s, the Saarburg district was dissolved on the basis of the “Third State Law on Administrative Simplification in Rhineland-Palatinate” of November 12, 1968 with effect from June 7, 1969. The communities were assigned to the newly formed district of Trier-Saarburg on the same date .
