After the annexation of the Austrian Netherlands , to which the Duchy of Luxembourg belonged, by French revolutionary troops , the municipality of Roscheid was assigned to the canton of Arzfeld in the department of forests in 1795. Due to the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the former Luxembourg area east of the Sauer and Our was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, Roscheid came to the newly established district of Prüm in the administrative district of Trier in 1816 and was administered by the mayor's office of Eschfeld .
