history

Irsch was first mentioned in a document from Emperor Otto II in 975, when the districts of Irsch, Hockweiler and Korlingen were transferred to the St. Martin Abbey in Trier. Although the document is regarded as fake in historical research, there is no doubt that it was part of the Trier Benedictine monastery of St. Martin. On June 7, 1969, the until then independent municipality Irsch was incorporated into the city of Trier; it had 991 inhabitants at that time.
