Latène period (450–50 BC)

The oldest finds show that the Pellingen district is to be regarded as a residential area of Celtic indigenous people from the Treveri people . Along an old Celtic traffic axis from today's Saarland via Trier, three barrows were discovered at the "Three Heads", the contents of which - additions for the dead - could be identified as Celtic princely graves (5th to 4th century BC). In particular, the remains of fabric found there give a good insight into everyday life at that time. Etruscan ornaments in the grave goods prove extensive trade relations as far as the Mediterranean area in the pre-Roman times. (Source: Excavations of the princely graves, Trier State Museum)

Roman times

After Julius Caesar had conquered the Trever area, a Roman military road was built over the Pellinger Heights along a presumably old Celtic path, which connected Roman Trier ( Augusta Treverorum ) with the important trading centers of Contiomagus ( Dillingen-Pachten ) and Teulegium ( Tholey ) . A Roman theater mask and a stele with the face of a satyr can still be seen today in the parish church of St. Antonius. The latest excavations show other locations of small Roman settlements in the vicinity of the Roman road . It is not these large country villas like on the Moselle, but small buildings. Maybe they were buildings owned by tenant families? Proven charred remains of wood at these sites show that these buildings were visited during the Germanic invasion around 275 AD.

middle Ages

The first documentary mention was made in 973. Here, Emperor Otto II confirmed the ownership of “Pellinc” = Pellingen to the Oeren ( St. Irminen ) abbey . This naming poses some difficulties for historians, as the place can neither be found before nor after as a property of the Oeren / St.Irminen Abbey. The historian Petrus Becker suspects in the chronicle of the Benedictine abbey that this is to the right of the Olewiger Bach and originally belonged to Pellingen, which later fell under Poppo to the Franzenheim-Ollmuth complex. The church historian Ferdinand Pauly also concludes that the St. Matthias Abbey already had an area for pastoral care in the earliest times, which stretched from the southern city of Trier to far into the Pellingen mountainous region. In 1148 Pope Eugene III confirmed . the abbey their possessions. Here "Pellinc" is mentioned with church and manor. This is also the first evidence of a church in Pellingen. In 1787 Krettnach, Ober- and Niedermennig were separated from the parish of Pellingen. The monastic rule ended with the French Revolution .

Modern times

Pellinger ski jumps

In order to defend the city of Trier against the French revolutionary troops advancing from the Saarlouis fortress , the Pellinger Schanzen were expanded as a line of defense along the old Roman road. In 1792 the French troops could still be repulsed. In the decisive battle on August 8, 1794, the Allied Austrian, Prussian and Trier troops had to surrender to the over 15,000 strong French superiority under General Moreaux . The march of the revolutionary troops into the city of Trier the next day heralded the imminent end of the Electorate of Trier , which in fact went down with the conquest of Koblenz in October 1794 by the French. However, Kurtrier was not officially dissolved until 1803, when the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss closed . Moreaux's name is immortalized on a plaque on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris .

Second World War

On March 1, 1945, advancing US troops took Pellingen.
