Trassem is a municipality in the Trier-Saarburg district in Rhineland-Palatinate . It belongs to the Saarburg-Kell association.

geography

Trassem is located on the Leuk , a small tributary of the Saar . Trassem consists of the main town Trassem and the district Perdenbach, which is connected to the town.

history

Finds from the Stone Age and the urn field stage in the community forest at the beginning of the 20th century suggest an early settlement. An important find is the hoard from the Bronze Age , which is kept in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier . It consists of a bracelet and a needle made of gold, gold spirals and a short sword and bronze ax blades. It was hidden between stones about 3600 years ago. The find is considered an offering to divine powers, but could also represent an equipment made during lifetime for the afterlife. Since finds of Bronze Age metal objects are relatively rare in this region, this find is an important testimony to this epoch.

Trassem was first mentioned as "Sent Erasmen" in 1337 in a feudal deed of Freudenburg , the district of Perdenbach as Pertenbach around 1450. Trassem has been part of this since the establishment of Kurtrier . In 1689 the "House of Meiers of the electoral court in Trassem" was built (today: Kirchstrasse 25).

In 1794, Trassem was occupied by French revolutionary troops , as was the entire area on the left bank of the Rhine in Germany . Annexed to French legal and national territory until 1814. In the course of the redistribution of Europe at the Congress of Vienna (1815), the village came to Prussia in 1816 as part of the Saarburg district in the Trier administrative district in the Rhine Province .

During the Second World War , the population of Trassem was evacuated twice due to its proximity to the front: in 1939, families were evacuated to Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg with their belongings. This takes place again in autumn 1944, but only as far as the Hunsrück-Nahe area.

On July 18, 1946, Trassem, together with 80 other municipalities in the districts of Trier and Saarburg , was annexed to the Saar area , which was separated from the rest of the French occupation zone in February 1946 and which at that time was no longer under the Allied Control Council. On June 6, 1947 this territorial outsourcing was withdrawn to 21 municipalities, so that Trassem came to the 1946 newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate .
