history

Schwarzenborn belonged to the Oberkail rule in the Duchy of Luxembourg since the late Middle Ages , which was a fiefdom of the Counts of Manderscheid-Kail until it died out in 1762 ; then the rule fell to the line Manderscheid-Blankenheim.

After 1792 French revolutionary troops occupied the Austrian Netherlands , to which the Duchy of Luxembourg belonged, and annexed it in October 1795 . From 1795 to 1814 the place belonged to the canton of Dudeldorf in the department of forests .

In 1815, the former Luxembourg area east of the Sauer and Our was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna . In 1816, the community of Schwarzenborn became part of the Wittlich district in the Trier administrative district in the Grand Duchy of Lower Rhine province , which became part of the Rhine province in 1822. Schwarzenborn was assigned to the mayor's office in Gransdorf .

The church of Oberkail also served the Schwarzenbornen as a parish church, but the Himmerod monastery , around three kilometers south-east, also shaped the area. Since 1946 the place has been part of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate .
