history

Lissendorf is located on the former Roman road Trier – Cologne (Agrippastraße). Numerous side streets favored the settlement of this area in Roman times. Roman grave finds near the place prove this settlement.

Lissendorf owes its first documentary mention to the Prümer Urbar , a list of goods from the Prüm Abbey from 893. In the Middle Ages, a noble family "von Lissendorf" was mentioned. However, this family only gained regional importance. From the 14th century, the place came under the rule of the House of Manderscheid-Blankenheim . In the 16th century the village belonged to the county of Gerolstein .

During the French era , Lissendorf was the seat of a cantonal administration in the Saar department .

An important date in recent local history was the completion of the Cologne – Trier railway line with the construction of the local train station at the end of the 19th century.

coat of arms

	Blazon : "In green the golden antlers with the grind of an eight-tender."
	Foundation of the coat of arms: The local community of Lissendorf has adopted the coat of arms of the local noble family von Lissendorf. However, the tinging of this coat of arms could no longer be reconstructed. Lissendorf therefore adopted the deer antlers as a figure, but chose the coloring himself.
