history
The area of today's town was probably already settled in Celtic times, as the oldest traditional place name Serviacum from the year 949 indicates. This development is to be seen in connection with the fortified mountain settlement (today: Kastel-Staadt ) on the opposite side of the Saar . Even Roman traces were found in Serrig. At the end of the village upstream of the Saar is the so-called Widderthäuschen , a Roman tomb from the 2nd or 3rd century AD. At that time there were some Roman estates there.
On July 18, 1946, Serrig, together with 80 other communities in the districts of Trier and Saarburg , was annexed to the Saar area , which was separated from the rest of the French occupation zone in February 1946 and which was no longer under the Allied Control Council at the time . On June 6, 1947 this territorial outsourcing was withdrawn to 21 municipalities, so Serrig came to the 1946 newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate .
religion
86% of Serrig's residents are Catholic, 6% Protestant. The Catholic parish of St. Martin in Serrig with its neo-Gothic parish church built in 1896 belongs to the deanery of Konz - Saarburg of the diocese of Trier . The Evangelical Church Community of Saarburg in the Trier parish of the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland is responsible for the Protestants .

The townscape is characterized by the Catholic parish church of St. Martin (1895), Saarfels Castle (former sparkling wine cellar), Saarstein Castle and the former state wine-growing domain , which is located above the community in the middle of vineyards. The acreage was cultivated with a field railway (Feuriger Elias) until the 1980s . It is on display today at the entrance to the village, coming from Saarburg.
