The Archbishopric of Trier exercised the state sovereignty . After the occupation of the left bank of the Rhine by French revolutionary troops (1794), the place became French and from 1798 to 1814 belonged to the canton of Bacharach in the Rhine-Moselle department . In 1815 the region was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna . After the First World War temporarily occupied by the French, the place has been part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate since 1946.
