The municipal boundary to Salm runs east of Rome , the place Salm is just under two kilometers away. It is located in the Vulkaneifel Nature Park (core zone Salmwald) and is part of the landscape area "Salmer hills" in the East Eifel . The Salm , a left tributary of the Moselle, rises to the east of the town .

history

The place was first mentioned in 1313 under the name "Royme". Hartard, Herr zu Schönecken , allowed his castle man Ludwig von Tholey to redeem the pledged village "Royme" from the knight Richard von Studernheim. In 1355 Gerhard von Schönecken promised Mrs. Margaretha von Falkenburg (widow Hartards von Schönecken) the undisturbed possession of the village "Rome" at "Birrisporn", which she had redeemed, until he would be able to redeem it with 117 guilders. The Prüm Abbey had built a forester's house around which some huts gradually settled.

The court in Rome was owned by the convent of the Prüm Abbey and the pasture in its corridor has been leased regularly to the municipality of Salm since 1568 . As a result of quarrels between the shepherds of Birresborn and Salm, the border between the Romer Hofflur and the common land of Birresborn and Mürlenbach was precisely defined. A treaty from 1574 regulated the corner mast in the bush of Rome.

In the Trier official description from 1788, the place was called "Romerhof" and belonged to the Birresborn mayor's office in the Prüm office .

After the Left Bank of the Rhine was taken by French revolutionary troops (1794), Rome and Romerhof belonged to Mairie Mürlenbach in the canton of Kyllburg , which was part of the Prüm district in the Saardepartement , from 1798 onwards . Due to the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna , the region came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 . Under the Prussian administration Rome or Romerhof belonged from 1816 to the mayor Mürlenbach in the newly built Bitburg in Trier . The hamlet of Rome was also assigned to the municipality of Birresborn under the Prussian administration. In 1843 Rome had 51 inhabitants who lived in nine houses. All residents were Catholic. School and church Rome belonged to Salm.

Originally Rome belonged to the parish of Mürlenbach, later to the parish of Birresborn. Under the French administration, the place was assigned to the parish of Salm in 1802.

The place was only connected to the power grid in 1936. Before the Second World War, the place had 14 houses. In 1959 Rome received a water connection to the Salm local network.
