history

Thus Steinheim belonged to the Echternach Abbey for a long time.

Steinheim belonged to the municipality of Rosport until December 31, 2017 and since January 1, 2018 to the new municipality of Rosport-Mompach, which was created from the merger of the two municipalities of Rosport and Mompach.
