history

Plaidt was first mentioned as lead in 895 in a deed of donation .

Until the end of the 18th century Plaidt belonged to the Electorate of Trier and was part of the administrative and judicial district of Pellenz, which was finally subordinate to the Monreal office .

In 1794, French revolutionary troops had taken the Left Bank of the Rhine . From 1798 to 1814 Plaidt belonged to the canton of Andernach in the Rhine-Moselle department and was under the administration of Mairie Saffig . Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna (1815), the region was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration Plaidt belonged from 1816 to the newly formed district Mayen in Koblenz and from 1822 to the Rhine province and was part of the mayoralty Andernach . In 1858, Plaidt and the former communities and villages of Eich, Kretz, Kruft, Miesenheim, Namedy and Nickenich were part of the "Mayor of Andernach-Land", which was newly formed by Mayor FJ Weygold and which was renamed "Amt Andernach-Land" in 1927.

In the town center there was a church on the site of today's Hummerich Hall until 1861. Since this had become dilapidated, it was torn down and the tufa below was removed. With the sale of the tuff stone, the new construction of the Catholic St. Willibrord Church outside the old village center on Mühlenstrasse was financed from 1860 onwards.
