history
The first demonstrable settlement of today's Losheim am See community took place as early as the Celtic period.
Losheim with its current districts did not belong to the Saar area from 1920 to 1935, just like Freisen , Oberthal , Nonnweiler , Wadern , Weiskirchen , Perl , Kirrberg and Bruchhof-Sanddorf . After the Second World War, it was incorporated into Saarland on October 1, 1946 (see also the list of municipalities affected by the connection to Saarland in 1946 ). The district of Bachem belonged to the Merzig office from 1920 to 1935 and thus to the Saar area. It was not until the territorial reform in 1974 that Bachem came from the Merzig district to the Losheim community. In return, the Losheim office gave the municipality of Oppen to Beckingen.
On January 1, 1974, the previously independent communities of Bachem, Bergen, Britten, Hausbach, Mitlosheim, Niederlosheim, Rimlingen, Rissenthal, Scheiden, Wahlen and Waldhölzbach were incorporated.

traffic

Losheim am See has several train stations on the Merzig Süd – Büschfeld line . The connection is currently only operated in freight and tourist traffic. Trains run by the Museum Railway Club Losheim am See . The Merzig / Ost – Losheim section is now operated as a public railway infrastructure by the municipality of Losheim am See as a railway infrastructure company. The section of the Merzig-Süd station (main station) to Merzig-Ost is being bought by the Losheim community. Deutsche Bahn Netz AG had put the section out to tender and, as an alternative, announced that it would be shut down if it was not sold.
The community is crossed by the B 268 ( Saarbrücken - Trier ) from south-east to north. This also forms the bypass of the Losheim and Niederlosheim districts. The road connection to Merzig is even more important . This route is to be upgraded to a federal road (cross-connection Merzig and Wadern ) in a few years .
The Eichenlaubstraße (districts Britten, Bergen, Scheiden and Waldhölzbach) also runs through the municipality .
