history
The Verbandsgemeinde Schweich came into being through the state law amending municipal constitutional regulations and preparing for the reorganization of the municipalities of July 16, 1968, which determined the reorganization of the previous offices into association communities . The community of Klüsserath was dissolved in the course of the territorial reform carried out by the state of Rhineland-Palatinate in 1969/1970 and the communities of Klüsserath, Leiwen, Köwerich, Detzem, Thörnich, Ensch, Schleich, Pölich and Bekond came to the Verbandsgemeinde Schweich. The official additional designation on the Roman Wine Route has been used by the association since January 1, 1989. On January 1, 2012, the local community Trittenheim was incorporated into the association; it was previously part of the Neumagen-Dhron association in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district .
